I may be based in Bethesda, but haven't acquired an awful lot from
the immediate area - most all the equipment that I use to make my
living was acquired on the Left Coast.
Of course, I've also been trying to cast off
what I don't need, too! Do any of us truly have the problem of
"not enough stuff"??? :-).
One decent source in the area is the Terrapin Trader, the University
of Maryland's surplus outlet in College Park. For more info, see
http://www.inform.umd.edu/PURCHASE/terptrad/
They usually have a good assortment of workstations and PC's
in the showroom, and they often have some interesting
scientific and test equipment as well. (Thanks to Dan Burrows
for taking me to this place the first time!)
There are some pretty decent "full-line" electronics shops
in Beltsville, just a little bit further out than College
Park.
