Years ago, I used to be in some sort of military surplus snail mail list, they send you lists of parts available for bidding and sealed bids are opened a number of weeks later. There was no internet in those days::> I tried searching with Google, but all I can find is company's trying to get me to pay money to buy an information packet from them!!! In the packet is (supposedly) the information I need to get onto the surplus list. Does anyone know how to join the surplus list without having to pay a pretty penny for the 'how to' package?
