I applied to work there. They are a very small company that buys surplus directly from the base they are even located on the base. They get prices that are in line with the equipment from other places. if you can get the same scope somewhere else for $500 you can be assured they will be somewhere near that. They will not go for very cheap. Good luck though. Z They're based out of Arizona actually. I've driven by their office. The parent company is in DC. From the website http://www.govliquidation.com/help/details.html#q_55 Q: Where is GL property located? A: Government Liquidation surplus inventory is located at 150 different sites throughout the Continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and Puerto Rico. Most of our sites are located on or near military bases. For a complete listing of GL sites, please click on the Locations tab at the top of the page. I got this from there website no where does it say they are based out of Arizona. Yes the parent company is from washington but I do not see the post anymore that that other guy posted it must have been erased.
