Thanks for making the video. I am actually the one who bought their entire inventory of tubes... Looks like you went in some of the "forbidden" areas 😮. They just recently had their auction, I should take some videos before a lot gets moved out...
Unfortunately they have shut down after many, many years in business. Seems like all of the surplus shops are slowly disappearing as owners retire and no one 2ants to get into the business. Another issue is that old military surplus from the last few decades was being destroyed instead of being sold at auction for so called "security reasons". Many of these last few shops have dealt with WWII, Korean and Viet Nam era equipment.
Thats crazy how could he have acumulated all of that super old stuff guess he did not balance his inventory well thats just crazy all that was worth tens of thousands or more but now its pretty much worthless he could recover maybe 20% but it will take so long to sell all of that
yeah, it is a shame that all that stuff couldn't have been utilized more throughout the years. He is having an auction in July so hopefully some of it will go to a better home! Thanks you for watching!
Looking at the web site I see the prices are quite high. With the amount of stock I see in this video even if the prices had been drastically reduced he would still have made more money by actually selling something. So much stock, such high prices. Too much stuff, do something with it.
@@gordonwelcher9598 The problem is 1. few people really know about the place, and 2. Most of the stuff isn't really that desirable anymore. Sure, I guess there are components inside a lot of this equipment that people could want but they have to take it apart to get to those parts. They aren't going to pay $250 for a big item to get a smaller item that's useful. I've bought stuff there only because it was cool. I have no use for it. I bought a German radiation detector a few months ago just for the heck of it. The most useful items they sold (to me) were the vacuum tubes but they are all gone now. I'll miss this place for sure.
@@gordonwelcher9598 Also if you go there these days, so close to closing, those prices are not reality. You can haggle. There is way too much stuff on the website to price change now. Why bother?
That was a great place. I generally bought something when I went there. I made a crazy layered video with layered scanner audio of this place.

Like your concept.
Used to love going to these places. Wish I could have made it to this one. Lots of stuff. Peace in your future endeavors.
I wish been there!

@@rustbeltbuddha It'll be sold for pennies on the pound.
