Don't know how many of you caught this on the news but there is a new web site auction. This one contains items from police department property rooms! ... Offered on the site is an Ohaus Triple Beam gram scale, for about what I paid in a pawn shop. http://www.stealitback.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=38589423&prmenbr=31895249&aunbr=38936088
A couple of interesting things about that:
* I have heard that the Ohaus triple-beam shows up at police auctions from time to time. (Never been lucky enough myself to find one there.) That's because it has been a favorite tool of drug dealers, so it gets confiscated a lot.
* By the time I checked out the site, the bidding was up to almost $50. That's a lot more than garage sale prices, and noticeably more than the $35 I paid on Ebay a couple of years ago.
