There is a fellow over on Satforums who lives north of San Francisco with some equipment he wants to give away. If anyone is interested I could try to message him and get his contact information. Here's what he posted:
I live north of CA. bay area and have about a half a pickup load of C recievers, remotes, NOS c and ku lnbs, 7 way cable, and miscellaneous hardware. Ready to take most all to recycling. Receivers are just limited dish movers, Not worth to mess with listing and trying to sell IMO. especially ship.
