Looks like that shady auction closed for $0.01 - but with $65 shipping. Did anyone ever complain about the seller? I see from his feedback that he has a few neutrals - and one about being fooled by the high/hidden shipping charges. I filed a "Fee Avoidance" report with eBay as I showed how to do on...

Re: Ebay does suck!

Hi folks, new to mreinfo.com but not MRE's :) I wouldn't buy any MREs from them {eBay} normally but I have noticed that some of you have gotten some great deals there but I tell you, those deals are few and far between. Hello dex; I appreciate how you feel, but my eBay experience has been vastly di...

Civilian MRE page may need an update

Just an FYI: As the page was last update in August 14, 2004, some items need attention. M-Packed 12 Semi-official page: http://pages.southtech.net/crownpt/M-PACKED2.htm is a dead link. There are some Sure-Pak II MREs out on the market now that are not listed on the page that we need info on. Here is...

I am sure his response to you was not very cordial to say the least. I like you am also pissed off at how these people try to screw you on the shipping cost. Too bad ebay does not truly do anything about it. They should put some kind of "cap" on shipping but they are making billions, what do they c...

Hello foxracer, welcome to the boards! The guy you bought the MREs from on ebay has a good selling history so he looks like an honest guy, you should be fine. How much did he charge you for shipping? That is where they always get you. If you paid more than $15 he kinda ripped you off. It should cos...

Hello Gentlemen; This is my first post here. I’ve been lurking for several weeks. I feel like I should start out with something like in a twelve-step program: “Hello, my name is Ron, and I like to eat MREs” It was interesting and fun to find and read this forum. "Other people that like MREs - - WOW!...
