I have found a seller that is selling 10 12 hour ration packs with 2019 exp dates. Hes asking about 65.00 plus another 58.00 for shipping. What would a fair offer be since he has a Make offer available?
Thanks.
Mike

Is the $65 for all (10) rations? If that is so, and shipping is $58 all in, that price is a steal and you should buy it now for sure! If that is the individual price per ration... way too high. I would look for something <= say around $200 for the entire case including shipping.

Yeah, if that is the asking price for all 10, and the shipping amount is accurate. I would jump on that with both feet.
10 rations for $65 = $6.50 per ration. $58 dollars shipping would = a cost of roughly $8.90 per ration to ship.
However, it would be best to have those numbers nailed down before any agreement and/or money exchanged.

Yeah he said the total for all would be around 146.50 and yes its for all (10) 12 hour rations. I'm going to get this then I just wanted to ask you guys before I did to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off. Here's the item number on ebay. 262625182504

DO NOT BUY!!! Ships via global shipping program, you will not receive it! FYI if you see a seller the uses the global shipping program back out as they will confiscate ALL food items.

Guy´s, I can buy it from Germany and let it get delivered without trouble (EU = no customs) over here (=GBP 77 = ~$102).
To send it to the US is another (up to 20lbs) €50 or (up to 40lbs €70). Too bad it doesn´t say the weight of the case and I can´t scale my own by now. I´m out for the weekend.

I didn't buy it, apparently someone else did. Before I buy anything internationally I always check with everyone on here first. I appreciate you letting me know about the shipping.

Yes - I did.
So it´s safe in "our" hands.
and we don´t have shipping/customs trouble.

Housil, My brother! You know I want it. Lol. How much to ship it to Tennessee? Since it's a full case, that will leave plenty to send to ration reviewers and of course the museum. Great catch brother.
Mike, don't worry brother, I will share. I always do. And I will be Memphis the first part of October. You found the listing, so if I get them I will make sure you get one at no charge.
