The guy at GL passed that on to me last week. He said the reason was they were spending to much money doing the EUC paper work.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Establish a one EUC per customer good for five years, start issuing the SF 97's on site like before and go back to $50.00

Some of the stuff they sell isn't worth $150 bids. They need to start taking small bunches of stuff and piling it together into bigger amounts to make sense.

I wish we could go back to the old days. High bid gets it. If your high bid is $1, and noone else bids, you get it. THATS an auction.

I can understand for TRUCKS. I'll have trouble with anything else. Looks like they just lost out on my money.

Hey if the world poverty bill passes every man woman and child in America will be paying $2,000 more each year to support people who hate America in many ways.

Glad I just got my m105 for under a hundred. I think the new opening bid needs to be selective instead of all inclusive.

once again, BS abounds..'respectively' of course..

Summary of the Global Poverty Act Bill:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-2433&tab=summary

Cost:
"Based on information from the State Department, CBO estimates that implementing S. 2433
would cost less than $1 million per year, assuming the availability of appropriated funds.
Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or receipts."

Yeah, your right, we should just let the U.N. dictate how much America should pony-up to take care of the rest of the world. Better yet, lets just make the Secretary General a dual position, head of the U.N. and President of the United States......

And we all know the CBO "NEVER", gets the long term cost of potential legislation wrong.....

The koolaid must really be good in northern Kalifornia......

But back to the theme of this thread...

GL is feeling frisky now that they have a guaranteed ride for the next 5 years....

But remember, if you air up your tires and get a tune-up, the money you save will more than cover the increase GL has implemented..... ;)

And also, end the high price of energy.....

GSA = Exists to recoup some of the gummint's money, but also to serve the public.

GL = Exists to do nothing more than make money.

I am sure I missed this but, Who else was the bidder other then GL?
GSA? What will probably happen is that GL will have more stuff to junk Or toss out to the G man.
It wont take long before they see the cost of there garbage bill clime. Then they MIGHT bring it back down to $50. Who is going to want a beat up tool box for $150?
