I noticed someone mentioned buying  "a dozen" CD players at auction and
fixing them up... All of which got me to wondering... Where do such auctions
occur? Can all sorts of equipment be acquired in this way? How about
a list of your favorite auction "hot spots" and the type of equipment you
have purchased, and your degree of satisfaction...

I've heard the fed's have an auction/surplus facility somewhere around
DC but I've also heard they peddle a lot of junk in huge lots which must be
bought sight unseen. Sounded like no bargain to me.

Anyway, email (or post if you must) and I'll try to summarize.
