Mike Quinn was still out by the Oakland airport last time I was there.
These guys KNOW the business and have the warehouse space to work with

Living in an apartment is an advantage..they have no house to tie them
to the area.

Trying to do surplus out of an apartment with a wife present is a
guaranteed divorce in the making.
