The most truly amazing surplus story I've ever
heard was that of a fellow that
acquired a surplus Plutonium processing plant from INEL, up in Idaho. The
government managed to stop him from shipping it to India, but it was a close
thing.
A close second was when the Air Force was auctioning off their never-used
Vandenberg space shuttle launch pad and auxilluary equipment. Sure, it
doesn't do you any good until you've got a shuttle to launch, but who here
wouldn't want to say "We already got one" to this?
