Re: Spread the word -- Swap Meet Returns!


 

Annoying- just because a garden variety scope set up was used as part of a test procedure for some fighter in the 70's, it's "controlled".? I got two notices in the late 2000s for Tek auction items that fell into that category (from Govbid, I think).? Fortunately, both had been scrapped due to breakage/abuse.

NO, Uncle Sam's suits implemented ITAR and rather than trying to have bureaucrats figure out what was covered and what wasn't, they just destroy all of it.

? It's nowhere near as great as it used to be; the suits have wrecked
that too.? Gone are the glorious DRMO (Dept. of Defense) surplus
auctions, gone are nearly all of the great surplus stores.? After all,
precious snowflake little Jimmy might cut his finger on something and
the company would get sued out of existence!
