Has anyone here successfully bid on and received anything from
govliquidation.com? Their site has every bit the ease-of-use I'd
expect from a government facility. The purchase and shipping process
looks equally intimidating.

I have bought two lots thru this site and had no real problems.
I avoided that by buying from a site that I could directly get
to (Barstow Ca Marine Corps Logistics Base) and picking it
up. YMMV. The main thing with this site that I have not
tried is to use a third part to pick up, package and ship. I
suspect that some of the listed vendors are okay for that and
some will suck totally.
I would say that this is a good site to watch, as a lot of
times you can really still pick up things for a song. The
down side is that you have to take to lots as they appear
and deal with that. It isn't ebay, so they have less to do
with the process, but at least the vendor isn't one w/o
financial resources that you have to doubt.

Yes. If you need an end use statement, the paperwork drags it out the
first time, but after that they keep stuff on file and things get a
little easier.

They are a private company with a contract to liquidate all the stuff.
The physical storage is done by the government, but the web site and
all that goes around it is done by a private firm.
The purchase and shipping process
looks equally intimidating.
If you don't need an end-use certificate for the item, purchase is no
more difficult than anywhere else. They don't do shipping, that is
your responsibility. I've not purchased anything remotely yet, just
at the local Air Force base. If I purchased something remotely, I
would use Crater & Freighters <http://www.cratersandfreighters.com>

I purchased a number of IBM 2316 disk packs mentioned on the list a
couple of months back. I am VERY HAPPY I drove to Norfolk to pick them
up.
Those lazy assholes driving the forklifts could not be bothered to
actually LIFT the pallets off the floor when moving them - they just
pushed them along the uneven warehouse floors. I was seen running
across the warehouse when I saw one of the priceless packs bouncing
and skittering almost off the pallet. While this was happening, one of
the shippers had no problems about putting one loaded pallet on top of
another and shrinkwrapping it, all to a delightful sound of crushing
metal and cracking plastic.
