the TSA liquidation sale (a.k.a. who needs 50 pounds of hand tools?)
where do all those nail files end up?
searching eBay for "NTSA" reveals a wealth of small pointy objects... http://search.ebay.com/ntsa_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8  there's actually some decent stuff in there...leatherman and victorinox knives win an auction and you can give one to everyone you know |

YEAAH! That's awesome, and just today I was wondering what they do with the confiscated items.
So now you know!

The shipping may cost more than the winning bid for some of these items! 50 pounds of scissors... wow. If I lived in the US and was a bit better at welding I'd be seriously tempted to bid, to make the most un-child-friendly sculpture ever!

i didn't notice this yesterday
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...971811208&rd=1 high-quality pointy hat was also for sale  i'm glad they aren't throwing all this away, like i thought. i'm not sure where the sombrero fits in. they should auction the story behind it, too. maybe it's considered flammable? seems far-fetched.

Anyone interested in going in with me on one of these? How about we start a pool for some multi-tools and split the booty evenly. The person going long gets the remainder if it's not divisible by the number of buyers. Each person submits of what they want in order of preference, We do it in rounds and the first pick goes to the first person in on the deal and then the 2nd and so on. We do as many rounds as we need to get them all allocated. Bingo, cheap multi-tools.
So men (and women) who is with me!
