Have been inactive for a time. What auction site took over mil vehicles from GL?

GL still has them, but check out govplanet.com. There are a couple of others out there- publicsurplus.com, govdeals.com, gsaauctions.gov, and some others

I picked up a GL item at Portsmouth, VA today and asked why no vehicles lately. They said they lost the govt contract on vehicles by being 1% too high on the contract renewal bid. They are now 12.5% buyer premium on the new contract for what they still handle. I didn't realize it before but they actually buy from the govt, then resell at auction plus premium. Saw some great tool kits in Norfoolk last year which had been photographed and prepped for listing. Norfolk was ordered to ship to Lockbourne, Ohio where GL actually operates a walk in retail store for items they see more profit from.

Thanks Jim. I see Gimpy on occasion at the welding site. Got the welding itch a couple of years ago. I've got lots of equipment and zero skills, unfortunately.
