    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    I worked for with the Navy for 11yrs, and Air Force Material Command for 12 yrs.... I can tell you the Govt doesn't give a crap about saving money on DRMO. The organizations and branches do not get any money back, so it doesn't affect them. The waste in the Govt is mind boggling... They went...

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    That what we call pricing as a "Sucker Bet..." High price just waiting for the "Sucker" that doesn't know any better.

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    GL lost the Truck contract for several reason... including HUGE amounts of complaints for false advertising, misleading listings, damages by Gl staff before recoveries, etc. They got greedy...

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    For me, it seems that the days of getting mixed lots at a value are over... Also it sounds like the days of getting "new / Like new" will be over as it sounds like they will be taking all of those items to sell "Retail" themselves... Yea, great for them to make even more money. It all looks like...
