Clearing out my stock - Super Deals!

Post by Kays1968 » Sat Jan 20, 2024 1:22 am

The time has come to downsize my collection. I really don't have the time to spend on a proper sales strategy, so here's the deal:

I'm packing USPS Priority flat-rate boxes with the rations I need to move along. Some have two, most have three. They are combinations of US and international, military and civilian, old and new.

Medium boxes are $35 shipped, large boxes are $40 shipped. Yes, that is the price of the rations plus the shipping. No, there's nothing wrong with them. Most are a year or two beyond their date, but they've been well kept.

I'm not going to repack, or mix-and-match. The goal for me is to make this as easy a process as possible. I will list them on this thread as I get them packed up, probably a few a day, so keep checking back if you're interested.

This is a great opportunity for new reviewers to get their hands on some uncommon items at a good price. PM me with questions, for pictures, or if interested.

So, to start it off, some $35 medium boxes:

Box #1: Norwegian AFR (muesli with berries, BB 07/2025), 2019 Chinese Type 13 emergency ration, 2021 Russian "Week of life" ration (Thursday)
Box #2: 2019 Russian IRP-P (chicken with cabbage rolls), Lithuanian beef with barley (BB 2021), US brown bag menu 8 Ham Slice
Box #3: US menu 21 Meatballs in marinara sauce (unknown date, but older, because main is boxed. New style bag), Latvian single meal meat stew with pearl barley (BB 2021), Chinese full meal menu #4 seafood fried rice
Box #4: US MCW Menu 11, scrambled eggs and bacon (no date, but no older than 2018 production), Lithuanian #10 beef stew (BB 2021), US brown bag menu 2 corned beef hash

I'll get a few more up here later this weekend.....

Appreciate your honesty, I too have far than I know what to do with, but am not looking forward to finding a good home for some of it

Yeah, Viper. For years, I had big dreams of reviewing on YT. Took me awhile to process the amount of work involved, and how little spare time I have in my life. I have a tremendous amount of respect and appreciation for all of the reviewers here, and I just hope that some small part of my stash helps the cause. New reviewers, especially, might not have the $$$ or want to risk the bullies at the border.

My goal is to get things pared down to the point where I can enjoy a one-out-one-in experience.....

Keep the vids coming, Viper!

Lol, life got very busy. I hope to find the time to record fairly soon.
Pile of fairly common stuff, but I do have a few hard to get pieces that need to be recorded, to preserve our weird hobby, for the next guy.
No, I don't mean the ancient things that Steve manages to show us, I have nothing earlier than 40s
