Kman,
After my PM to you I did find a supplier that has a few cases of 08' inspection he claims to be letting go for $40 plus shipping (estimates shipping to be ($12-$20). Claims he dosen't want to gouge people.


Kyle,
I am trying to work out the specifics to drive and pick up instead of shipping to me . If you or anyone is interested LMK. I am going to finalize things later on this weekend. I had a few pics of what he had available and he seems to be on the up and up.

AVNate, $40 is a decent price - especially if you can pick them up and save on shipping. I'm still waiting on the bargain-basement prices, though. I have enough $40 cases stocked up for emergencies, now I'm just waiting for the $25 cases to *really* stock up. I might be waiting a long time, but I can always hope...

I hope I entered the link right.

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie to the forums. This is my first post here and I thought it should be on the above link. I can't say I haven't paid more than I should for a case of MRE's on eBay. They are still cheaper then at local surplus stores, but this is obsurd. Check out the shipping too. I clicked it for my zip code and the guy wants $102 and change for shipping. I think I'm going to send a nasty gram to the knucklehead that buys these.

Hey cory, welcome to our world. Yes, that shipping is beyond the ridiculous range. We need to send the unlawful shipping police to his doorstep... :lol:

Link to above link

The shipping for me came to $64.12 for two cases...that is still too high. It should only be about $13 for one case or $26 at the most for two for them to ship to me.

By the way cory, when posting a link you do not have to put the [url] in there, just copy and paste the link itself and it will take care of itself.

i like the fact that most of the super high MRE auctions have zero bidders.


BTW - as far as the links, you might need to update your Profile via the link at the top center of the page, specifically, make sure the following settings are set to Yes:
