OT Parts houses & scrappers

[Robert]

I spoke with Mike, last year, around the time they were closing their
doors. I'm fuzzy on the details, now, but dimly recall something about
them possibly trying to hold on to much of the stock, despite losing
the warehouse, with the possibility of reopening in some shape or
form.

With that said, he didn't reply to emails sent after that and I'm not
aware of any further action on that front, so don't hold out much
hope.

By the same token, the parts houses have to know we can't pay typical full price that corporations/military can. We must be willing to pay something above scrap value, of course.
