   All the DRMO surplus sales in this area are now being handled by a
commercial company (levy-Latham). I think they're handling ALL the DRMO
sales for the south East US. LL doesn't even notify you of their sales
unless you're a mega-huge dealer and all the "scrap" is removed from the
stuff before the "good" stuff is put up for auction. The DRMO sales here
used to fill several buildings and a large parking lot. I went to a LL sale
last week and it filled a ~ 1500 s.f. building and there was NO old
computer stuff in it. BTW DRMO does have a web site so you should be able
to find their locations on it.
