Yes, I imagine there is much truth to what you say, yet this stuff IS out there.
You have to take the time to seek it out, and check frequently. I get a LOT of
stuff litlerally out of the trash at work! I have gotten motors, servo amps, entire
computers (workstation class and above) as well as a huge amount of small
parts that wind up in my (rather extensive) scrap bin. If I hauled off everything
I could get, my house would have collapsed already! Instead, I take only what
I plan to use in an upcoming project, or that which I can sell on eBay. And, there's
no reason a good find on eBay can't make it across the ocean, although small items
are more worthwhile. If you haven't checked out eBay, you certainly should, and
there are UK sellers showing their wares, as well.

If you find an item of interest on eBay, I'd be glad to offer advice on suitability.
