They Buy Uncle Sam's Tax Junk for Peanuts
AZLE Texas AP Melton Dimock and partner Louis Freeman run a salvage firm that buys government surplus. They paid as little as 10 dollars for items that once cost millions, including F111 bombsights and radar equipment, reselling some for profit and keeping others, like cars, as investments. They describe the GSA as focused on disposal over profit.
