Used Potomac Instruments FI Meters...

Couple of used Field Intensity Meters from the FCC here:

Might be worth watching the GSA site for similar goodies, especially stuff that is not being made any more.

I've seen these auctions before and wondered how complicated and expensive the shipping can be, if available. This one says separately "THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING AND PACKAGING" and "Successful bidders are cautioned that they will be responsible for loading, packing and removal of any and all property awarded to them from the exact place where the property is located, as indicated below." Not exactly eBay...

I think there are "brokers" for that sort of stuff.
I thought that same thing when the BBC World Service moved out of Bush House. I was going to talk to a freight broker, here in town
about how it's handled.

It may not be practical to make a small purchase, unless nearby for local pickup. It is very likely some of the eBay sellers buy from these auctions in quantity, then resell. I once purchased 4 HP bench meters on eBay, and they all came with USAF asset tags attached.

Saw a couple more of them, from the Atlanta FCC Field Office.
