[Milsurplus] A new high?

[David Edsall]

Mike and the gang,

A propos of your observation about hoarding (that' what it is), I ran into a
fellow at the MIT flea market some years ago who said he had several hundred
command sets.  When I asked him what he intended to do with them, he replied
simply, "keep 'em."
Go figure ...

the stuff unless it be to deny it to other collectors who may not have deep
pockets.
