If anyone is interested, here is where to look: 
http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/aucindx/

If you want to bid, you need to register, but you can browse to your 
hearts content.

BTW, there is a lot of other stuff you can get at auction from work 
boats to limousines, check out the other categories. Great way to 
recycle and get stuff cheap, and you didn't need to send away for an 
expensive book that will tell you "All About Government Auctions!" <grin>
