Well,
I found out that ERI in Olympia was having an auction to off their entire stock and fixtures last week.
I drug myself out of my sick bed, and looked it all over.
A company called Bid Ventures out of Tumwater WA handled the auction.
(I bid on and won most of what I wanted.)
The auction co. was VERY helpful on the phone, as their software is a bit confusing, and all bids needed to be placed online.
So on a scale of 1-5 they rate a 5++ for service and helpfulness. They even helped pack and haul the stuff out to my truck!!!!

Yes, I would happily deal with this company again.
Sadly I bid a fond farewell to ERI,- Ron, Kathy, Bill, Steve, & Marv.
Their stores passing ends the era of a local, REAL electronics parts store in the area. Now its all mail order, or go to the Seattle or Portland areas. (And some of the guys thought I was crazy, & wondered why I squirreled away parts. I saw it coming 15 years back!)
