If you could let me know where I can get a complete RCI for $100, I’ll buy them?
I sold a full case to a member here and it wasn’t at $100 each but you obviously have your finger on the pulse!

I look forward to the lead.

60s MCI, with cigs, sell for around $100, but im guessing this item is a bit different

Thanks Viper,

I may have missed the mark with my price. It was based on an eBay sale of the same item a few months back and advice from a long standing forum member.

Happy to have offers on these as they are still a rare item to come across?

I would say DrPhat your cig packs are worth a minimum $150 each and max $300-$350. Your location.. how many RCIs are out there in Australia? How many Australian rations of that age are in the US?

Location plays a part too.

My first RCI cig pack find was in 2013 at Silvermoon drive in theaters Flea market... it was $50. In 2013... at a FLEA market. So in this market? Covid 19 or not - bad economy or not.. the packet is rarer than 7 years ago. Most get opened outta curiosity. So again, I will publicly vouch here its a minimum $150. Any less is lowballing. Any more than $350 is too high.

I know a guy who lists on Ebay and he puts wayyy high prices. Does it sell right away? Nope. But in a year or two the right buyer comes through.

In the end, these rations are all worth what buyers are willing to pay.

My most expensive K ration cost me $805. It is a Summer 1943 K rat Breakfast out of the Cracker Jack factory. A near perfect example. Main bidder was slow.. i got second chance offer. Main bidder who won got angry and left a negative to the seller. Ya snooze, ya lose!

PS if noone buys that packet off ya we can work something out shortly. Got a big deal coming up in a few days and then to reevaluating the funds. Gotta buy myself a pair of shoes soon too.
