Boeing Surplus Sales
KENT, WASHINGTON
"People
come here from all over the world," says Park Peterson, who has worked
for Boeing Surplus Sales in Kent, Washington, for the last five years.
"They always say they're going to the Space Needle... next!"
When you
see what aircraft mega-giant Boeing is unloading for ten cents on the
dollar, you can easily understand why their bargain center is such a draw.
Are you in the market for a self-collating nutplate drill motor or a lockbolt
puller nosepiece? You'll have lots to choose from, and you'll probably
want to pick up a spare collapsible mandrel coldwork puller and a few
morse taper holders while you're at it.
Need bits?
Browse around World Famous Tool Crib . "It's a dentist's dream,"
says Park. "We've got bits that'll take care of an elephant's molar."
Actually, his clientele is more likely to include rock hounds, pilots,
hobbyists and entrepreneurs. "We probably stock every swap meet from
here to Alaska," he comments. "A lot of people make a living
off what they buy here and resell."
In other
areas, everything from computers to office furniture is waiting to be
adopted, and outside, you'll find the really big stuff. If you're lucky,
you might even find a whole restroom unit from a 747!
Sorry, Boeing
Surplus Sales doesn't sell by mail order, and they don't have a Web site.
This is a place you have to go and experience in the flesh. Take cash
and a truck so you don't have to pass up any "steals!"
