Rumor has it that Eric Smith may have mentioned these words:
With most surplus vendors, I've had very good luck with bargaining
on items having obviously outdated posted prices. But make a reasonable
offer, not a really lowball one, or they'll not bother to talk to you.
Or a quantity offer... If you buy 3 at a reasonable offer instead of just
1, they're much more willing to take the deal.
Maybe if anyone wants a Dragon we should coordinate it here first, then
just make a bulk purchase?!?!?
Just an idea,

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
Still a reliable surplus vendor, incidentally:

Perhaps the best-known NOS selection of 8" floppy drives anywhere in the
world, as well as 8" media and cleaning kits.
Some of the prices don't
look like they have been updated in a decade
though, 2 MB ram simms for $59 etc.
