For computer equipment (used and new), if you're near NJ, then you might want to go to the Trenton Computer Festival (TCF). (www.tcf-nj.org) It's one of the largest computer shows, but it has a very large outdoor "flea market" section. This year it's on Sat & Sun, May 4th & 5th, and it's held in Edison, NJ. You should be able to find just about anything computer or electronic related. There's lots of junk there, but you can find some great deals. It's the only computer show I bother to go to, although I don't go every year. Unlike typical computer shows with vendors selling new computer equipment, the flea market section is cheap to get a spot, so there are literally hundreds of people selling their old parts, equipment, junk, etc. Even though it's mostly computer related, I always see some tools and telecom equip.
FYI, 3 years ago I took a spot at TCF and got rid of a truck full of old parts and junk that was wasting space at my offices. Why someone would buy old 720K diskettes I will never know, but I did come home with a LOT more money than I expected. In fact, this year I'm planning another trip to sell more old equipment and parts, including a complete AT&T Spirit System. Be warned though, this show is a "geek festival", fill with lots of unusual people (always good for a laugh). As for the best deal I ever got at TCF...years ago I bought an Altair 8800 (basically, the first microcomputer, released in 1975) for $250. These are now selling on eBay for as much as $3000 or more.
