I am working on a list of neat places to find bargains. A regional thing,
mostly so that when traveling I won't have to spend 3 hours with a phone
book to find some good spots.

The list will NEVER be made public, but I will send it out to people who
send me some places local to them. Ideally I would really like for most
people to be as open in this as I plan to be, and share ALL of the good
local spots they know of. I know SoCal pretty well, and have about a dozen
places, and I have about a dozen other people who have added to that.

The typical information I would want is something like the following;

Fullerton Calif. Bargain Warehouse 714.871.3500 located on Orangethorpe
between State College and Raymond/East street, northwest of the 57/91
interchange. Auction two nights a week, retail store everyday. Carries
product returns/shipping damage/ and closeouts for CostCo. Clothing is a
daily good deal, and amount and items subject to discount changes daily.
Auction is the only good time for most computer or electronics, inspect
carefully, be informed before bidding, but computer items often sell for
very low bids like 50% of current retail.

Yes I know this has nothing to do with old computers, but you can't really
expect me to reveal the local place that recently sold some MicroVaxen for
about $25 a pop, and last visit still had the Systems Industries tape
drives. Likewise I assure everyone that I already know about eBay et al. I
would rather know about the dumpster behind X on the second Tuesday of the
month than just about anything online.

Email me DIRECTLY, do NOT just reply to the list. Use my handy bit of html
if you can.
