Brown Bag MREs for Sale or Trade [Gone]

These have all been sitting in my Dad's boat for around 20 years; no idea of the exact manufacture date but I'd guess 1990-1992 because the FRHs that came with them were in that date range. However, according to the menus, they could be as old as 1988 or as new as 1995 (unlikely). Other than being a bit dusty, they look to be in good condition with no tears, rips, holes, etc and have passed the "bubble" test--squeezing them and noting that the air does not escape. However, due to their age I can't guarantee that any of the components will still be good--consume at your own risk.

Asking price is $2... I would also be happy to trade for almost anything edible, recent production date (say within last 8 years) and good storage. Please send me a private message if you are interested in one or more of these, and specify which entree(s) you would like. If you're buying and not trading, I will send you a link to my online store where it will be easy to handle shipping and payment options.

2x #5 Spaghetti with Meat and Sauce (Right Away Foods)
1x #7 Beef Stew (Right Away Foods)
1x #11 Chicken and Rice (Right Away Foods)

Additionally, there is one that did not pass the "bubble" test, which has a small cut at the end and is not airtight:
1x #3 Chicken Stew (So-Pak-Co)

I also have three FRHs dated 1991-1992 that can accompany these if you'd like, though I don't know if they would be any good. Some of the granules have leaked out of the heater cores.

As this is my first trade/sale on this site, I'm not familiar with the customs and courtesies. I'll do my best to accommodate. Thanks for reading!

Dropping price to $4, I also have a few fresh FRHs left over from recent MREs, I'll throw one of those in so you have something that might actually cook the meals. I'm trying to clear these out, I'm not much of a collector and would like to keep my ration stock fairly fresh. On that note, I'd also be willing to trade for current (8 years or so) rations that are in good shape.

$2 each?

I also have 10 extra "Chicken & Dumplings" entrees dated 2009 that I am looking to unload, $1 each.
