Feel like I can't even look on eBay anymore blows me away what some of these items are listed for $$and then the shipping gouging.

Its a bait... Too common these days, its just something that has become normal... Its a constant to see an item priced at 20€ free shipping, 15+5shipping. 3+17shipping... Its scamming pretty much to hide part of the cost in the shipping

Supply and Demand has flew through the roof with the invention of youtube and the popularity of the MRE videos on youtube, and people have noticed it and jumped up the prices ever since, just the way it goes. If the popularity drops over the new few years, perhaps it'll drop back to normal prices. We shall see i guess?

Yeah, I think MRESteve and his splendid videos are partly to blame.

But it's worth it. I've started circling back to watch his earlier ones. Fantastic stuff.

Yes, there's a lot of gouging, but then are are also plenty of gems out there too. And if you're willing to buy in bulk, even with shipping you can get prices way down, especially on the more common rations. British ORPs for $18, Dutch 24hr for $22, etc.

I bought a Russian 24hr for $30 on ebay, free shipping. Guy has 1000s of reviews and 100% feedback, but i wouldnt be surprised if a got a box with a rock in it.

Been tracking the package, and its taking a while, but the seller shipped "something" to me. We shall see
