closer?

i think you'd be bidding against these guys :-) from what i gather they
(charyn auctions) go to demo/refit sites and buy all the 'junk' and try
to flip it. i wouldn't have thought the profit/turn-over was that high,
but looking at the stacks of stuff there has to be something in it or
their warehousing costs are as close to zero as possible.

(for 'locals' they do have a very nice/productive blackberry bush out
back. no one seems to mind us walking back and picking our fill).
