Now with eBay is there any point to government surplus? Are surplus auctions worthwhile?

The American Science and Surplus mail order catalog is really something. See the CT review here:

There's also a positive CT review of the Boeing & Pratt & Whitney surplus stores: https://www.google.com/url?q=http://kk.org/cooltools/archives/927&sa=U&ei=QyJLU_H2MITi2AXZkYDwCA&ved=0CAgQFjAB&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNGt4uG4LmH2733JIJ36wKXoMhpniA

You might want to check out the Habitat for Humanity ReStores. In addition to used furniture, I've seen hardware from over runs and over purchases by contractors.
