alt Hacker NewsUS Gov auctions are great when you want 400 of something broken or want to travel through 3 states for a $1000 mil-spec kitchen sink.

If you ever want knives, you can get a fascinating set of them by looking out for the TSA/Airport confiscated items auctions.
Hawaii's one is at https://auctions.ehawaii.gov/dot/welcome.html. I had a boss when I lived in Hawaii that would bid on them, occasionally brought boxes of the random "sharps" (as they were called at the time) that had been confiscated from people by TSA. Some of it is somewhat surprising that people still had on them when they got to TSA, like high quality 18" long machetes.

Is mil spec a good thing or bad thing? It sounds good but I’m guessing you were using it sarcastically?

Or when you've been wanting to one up your neighbor's boat by buying a drug running speedboat with bullet holes.
