LAST REVIEW: 11-Sep-05
Every month from March through October, following the schedule of the DeAnza electronics swap meet, Lynn and his brother hold an open-warehouse sale at their location on Parker Court. Since they also sell at the DeAnza event, you can usually pick up a flyer which describes the event and provides a map.
This event is very worthwhile. Lynn's prices have improved dramatically in the last couple of years, and his selection is in such constant flux that you never know what you'll find. Even if you don't find the absolute cheapest price for something, I've bought equipment from Lynn many times, and I've found him to be one of the most honest and straightforward people you'd ever want to deal with in the surplus arena. He stands behind what he sells, and he will tell you up front about any problems that any given item has.
If you're scheduling yourself to catch the DeAnza swap, definitely make time to include this sale as well. Also, keep an eye on Ebay for Lynn's auctions under the seller ID of 'lyntec.' He almost always does free shipping if you use 'Buy it Now.'
