First off. I'm familiar with eBay and the various public/government surplus auction sites.

I was hoping to find something within driving distance of Portland, Oregon (i.e OR, WA, ID, N/CA) rather than having to pay crating/shipping.

These were sold largely to community colleges and schools, so based on the tag line of this forum "Post items that you are looking for so people can help you to find where to buy them." perhaps someone knows of something for sale in my area (or for cheap so the final cost with shipping is viable)?

Yes, I have a "wanted" ad on Craigslist. If you have a suggestion other than "check ebay/public surplus auctions", I'd love to hear it. PM works best. Please click here to send me a PM.

Thanks
