Food Packet, Modular Operational Ration Enhancement (M.O.R.E.)

[Xan_Man85]

Hey guys,

I just picked these up along with three cases of 2016 dated MREs (off Facebook Marketplace again), but I can't find out a lot about them in terms of value. I'll probably end up selling some and keeping some. The inspection date is 11/2020, so they're well within date. Any ideas what they're worth? I searched the usual suspects and couldn't find any High Altitude/Cold Weather ones for sale. Any info would be appreciated! I have always wanted to try the Zapplesauce, so I think I'm going to have to crack one of these open tomorrow. Review will soon follow I'm sure! I've been finding a lot of weird stuff on FB Marketplace lately

I think you'll get $10-15 for one

I checked Ebay.com for sold ones, the only 9 ones were sold for $10 each. In my opinion this is way to expansive and they are over rated. This equals a MRE but with less food.

yeah, MORE sell for 10 to 15 online in the US, but you can probably sell them higher overseas... but I don't know where you live.

Locally, i can buy them for 6 to 8

I kinda discounted the ones on eBay because they were out of their packaging and they were past their inspect date by 5 years. I know neither of those things generally affect edibility, but they definitely affect how much money they bring. I found some on Foreign MRE for $28 each! MRE Mountain was sold out of them. I agree though, they do seem to be a bit on the expensive side.

The MORE was not meant to equal an MRE, but meant as an enhancement to be used along with an MRE. I think the reason they go for so much is because of the lesser seen components that you don't normally get in other standard rations (Zpplesauce, energy gel, caffeinated pudding, caffeinated gum, etc.)

applesauce comes in regular MRES, usually menu 12,
the gum and pudding both come in FSRs - only the energy gel is a 'unique' item to the MORE from your list, although its nice to see some not so common components once in a while

[Xan_Man85]

Maybe "unique" was the wrong word. Lets say "lesser seen" components. I'm out of touch with modern MREs. It was around 16 years ago when I was eating them regularly, so a lot has changed since then. I'm definitely looking forward to trying some of the 2016 MREs I got as well as a couple of these MOREs.

I know, what I wanted to say was the price equals for a whole MRE.

I misunderstood. My apologies. After having cracked one open and trying it, I can see why the price might be a bit higher than normal. It's focus seems to be primarily on an energy boost with lots of protein and caffeine with some carbs thrown in. It's definitely an interesting one.
