I saw a recent comment by the guy at GSA who supervises sales of surplus
government vehicles and other oddities --- he says all those outfits that
sell the information about GSA sales are taking advantage of buyer 
ignorance.  If you call GSA, they'll send you the same information for
free.  (A lot of those companies that sell the forms and information
charge upwards of $15 for it.)
