Hit the mother load of vintage MREs and components

Post by Militaryration_guy » Sun Jan 02, 2022 9:18 pm

Greetings everyone, I was recently at the Smokie Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville and I stopped by the relic room, while I was there looking for some B units I found them replaced by vintage MREs and components, MREs were 25 bucks a piece and components 10 bucks a piece. Attached is the box in the store and what I got.

Wait. I don't believe any congratulations are in order at that price, in my opinion.

Agreed! Those prices are VERY high! $25 for a single old ration and $10 for a side item it not fair by any means.

Ebay ain't an option and I saw some stuff in the box that I thought was priced reasonable and that I wanted so I bought it.

Buddy, around my area it is very rare to come upon that stuff and as I said, Ebay ain't an option for me.

Ebay might not b e an option for you but do you have any family who you could pay and they buy stuff for you? It looks like youve spent an entire case worths on a few meals, and i wouldnt wanna see you ripped off

None of my family members trust Ebay, so we use other websites besides Ebay
