I used to collect neon tubes form neon signs there. One place wound up with a missile ballast weight which NASA wanted back -- it was made of Uranium since that material is so dense. One approximation of this type of place for the East Coast are hamfests. The MIT one ( http://www.swapfest.us) is once a month and is pretty good. There was one in NH that was really good. I think it was called Hosstraders (http://www.qsl.net/k1rqg/) It is no longer.
