I see lots of stuff going through govliquidation.com, but most of it
isn't very interesting and like ebay, they've eliminated market
inefficiencies which translates to fewer good deals for scroungers
like us.
What is mostly frustrating is that they don't just wipe hard drives

we'll see some surplus from the current entanglements, someday.
Probably not. Military surplus is mostly dead, thanks to the
politicians. What oes get thru to the public auctions generally has to be
shredded or smashed. from computers, they *remove* them. So there are all
these computers
out there, some of which are interesting, but don't have any
kind of
storage to go with them. If you thought it was difficult to find
classic computers, try getting isolated storage units for classic
computers!
