I agree with that, NOS def can be found on the west coast really good easy. I'm in Virginia and have never found New old Stock. But I do get gold capped and double gold capped everyday usually. I get servers from old contacts when working as a System Administrator VDOT, later moving on to Google, I talked the country and sent broken parts home through the mail.

I also get all the TVs/Monitiors and computers from my local dump. On weekends they serve around 2,000 to 3,500 people. I've lost count how many I've gotten but low c
Balling, 20K CRTs, Computers and servers 7K and that's since 2011. I also get copper pipe, wire and so on. I make a good living without scrap or recovery/refining and selling ewaste on Ebay but it keeps me busy especially since I'm single and no kids. I just wanna retire before 55 or 60.



I have a collection I've started selling off besides for heavily populated pcbs and ceramic CPUs, rare and unique items. Merry Christmas
