Any good auction houses to find surplus servers?

[Ampera]

Looking to acquire some sort of high CPU performance server to do Xen things on, and while I am looking around on Ebay, a friend told me a better place to look might be more local auction houses. I live in New York, and am wondering if anyone's got any ideas as to exactly where I might find such a place.

One of the big ones I'm aware of is James G Murphy, they're the sort of place that comes in when a business is shutting down and auctions off the items. If you have tech companies or datacenters in the area you might get lucky. You could also look around for computer recycling businesses as some of them sell usable surplus.

Also check out the dell refurb outlet store[1]. I'm thinking of using it to get a workstation for my lab relatively soon. If you are patient and shop around you can find screaming deals.

Maybe post on r/homelab,there are a lot of US users in that sub-reddit and its all dedicated to running servers at home.
Also use their labgopper search tool to find used servers.
