Surplus & Salvage
Episode #1907
Salvage and surplus stores operate with one simple philosophy: buy great stuff in bulk and sell it cheap. An almost limitless variety of goods at bargain-basement prices is their stock in trade. This week host Lou McNally takes a look at these meccas for the stereotypical thrifty Yankee as he visits Maine State Surplus Sales in Augusta and Mott’s Marine Salvage in Newcastle. They all have great bargains, if you’re willing to take the time to look and be ready to pounce when you see something you like -- because as any one of the owners of these stores will tell you, if you wait until tomorrow, it probably won't be there when you come back.
