It's on eBay.
Washington state sells a lot of surplus stuff on eBay. You can look at the stuff before you bid; they're in Auburn about 2 minutes from the Supermall. I've been down there a few times and bought a printer through eBay. You do have to pay tax.
If you do go down to inspect, make sure you check with one of the employees before you go in the back where the eBay stuff is--they get a bit picky as they've had stuff stolen before. If you're going to try to test the radios you're probably OK as they don't hover over you watching you, but you might have some explaining to do if, for example, you brought your own battery to test the MTS radios. If you go during regular store hours, you can always pick up something good in the retail section. Furniture prices are about 1/3 less than what Boeing used to charge.
This is the second batch of GTX radios, so I predict that there will be more in the future. The last batch sold for an average price of $109.72. And above all: keep in mind that stuff is here for a reason. It's either broken, obsolete, or just plain old.
