[R-1051] Surplus Equipment

[Tony Snider]

Rich,
they have been here several times, the first time they showed up at the
house a 6:30am beating on the door wearing guns and the works, they were
upset about a cockpit display I had, and basically said that I wasn't
supposed to have it and if I couldn't prove where I had bought it from the
Drmo that they were gonna assume I stole it. I had bought 12ea 2 yrs earlier
on a pallet of Misc electronics and need less to say all the paper work was
long gone, and even if I could have found it it would only say Misc
electronics not specifically the indicator... the only thing that worked out
good was that I had been looking online the day or so before and had seen
where they had 60 of them on 10 lots were for sale in California under demil
A, so we lit off the computer and showed them to him, I think he felt like a
jerk to say the least. Then a different guy called about a jet engine I had
listed on the website, he called and made an appointment to come to the
warehouse and took a look at it, had a nice conversation, he left and I
never heard another word. the second was a much more pleasant experience!!
MORAL OF THE STORY... SAVE YOUR PAPER WORK!! AND MAKE NOTES AS TO
MISDESCRIPTIONS WRONG STOCK NUMBERS AND MISC LOTS. when he gets there just
do a search on ebay under the HP105 on current and past sales. that should
do the trick!! that item was commercially avail from HP for years!! they
have had TVS Vcrs, bed frames and all manner of totally ridiculous stuff out
here in VA on demil.
