Thanks MRE_UK

You probably wouldnt get more then say £65 or 70. As you can get one of these shipped from the USA for about 80 quid

man, what's up with people listing rations here and then on eBay? Feels like some folks on here are in it more for the money than the hobby :|
most wanted: RCIR, MCI/B units, IMPs, anything old, and a packet or two of RAFCO soup. PM if you've got these, or anything else to sell that isn't too expensive.

I typically find these for $40 plus shipping here in the US. So about $55 all said and done with just a bit of patience and searching. Actually found an incredibly rare MKI first production version of an LRRP for about $150, which was shockingly low for such a rare ration in comparison to the all too common MKII version posted here.

Yeah probably because this wasn't meant to be an ebay advertising forum, let alone maximizing profits.

My thoughts exactly. eBay is meant for selling, and competition and demand means higher prices. Forums aren't quite so dedicated towards profit.

I understand what your saying, but we see it as the more people we can give the chance to try rations the better. Im a prepper at heart and have over 2 years worth of food supplies for 2 people instock on full rotation that are paying for themselves, I cant tell you how much that puts my mind at ease and makes all the hard work and overtime worth it.
We also import rations that are hard to find in the UK, that you have to buy in large quantities to make it viable. Yes we make money on them but most are still cheaper than others are selling them with shipping to UK so it gives people the chance to try them at a reasonable price.
I can tell you that if i didnt enjoy/want to have years worth of supplies in store i wouldnt be selling them. This is a 2nd job/hobby for me as it doesnt pay enough to be a full time job at the moment.
