So it isn't ideal- how's running everything through "a few ebay sellers" and resellers going to improve matters? The Tek terminals will still go to the scrapper, the Grey Walls will still go to the recycle bin (with the binders this time), and nobody else will even have a shot. I work in education, and I provide computer support for a nonprofit, and both groups get stuff at Boeing Surplus (though usually not classic computers- that's my department, and Boeing is a valuable asset, at little cost to Boeing. If you take away the surplus store (providing it covers expenses) you're removing an asset to the community and replacing it with people who are interested in maximizing profits, period. What's the likely change in how they handle 'classic' equipment? Not much.
