I once bought two pallets of welding cable from the US Govt. for $40. My
truck barely made it back to Vegas from the Nevada Test Site, it was so
heavily loaded. I guess no one needed any welding cable, or just saw junk.
I made out good on that one.

Bring on the junk.

Yeah. At a forklift dealership auction, I bought four crates of
forklift service/maintenance manuals for $50.

The other people were scrappers interested in metal only.

Let me just say that I am making good on this one too, books sell
daily for very nice prices. It is not just a buy and resell, it is a
source of income.
