Hi all, here's a link to an ebay auction you may want to check out:

I have been watching this guys auctions for a week or so and bought 2 cases of 2008's a few days ago - I haven't recieved them yet but looking at his feedback I'm sure I will. S/H was only 26.00 for 2 cases.

Hi Rich - welcome to the forums!

The price seems pretty good. Shipping seems to be ok, too. I'd be nice if he was a little more specific about the date - he just says 11/2007 - but not whether that's the inspection or packed date.

Other than that, doesn't look too bad.

kman, the xmas shopping must be getting to you.

I'm willing to bet that the 11/2007 isn't the packed date, unless it was packed by the ghost of xmas future.

Thanks, deanopilot. Wow, you're right...I have no idea where my mind was when I typed that.

But I still hate it when they say the "date" on the MREs is this or that. I mean, come on...the "date"? There are two dates! Which one?! (Even I should be able to figure out it out for myself.

I purchased his $80 dollar MRE deal and the dates reflect packed Nov 2004 with inspect of Nov 2007. Shipping to my locale was $26 for the two cases and I got them in about four days.

Hi Rich_. I'd be interested in hearing if your 02/2005 MREs have the 2005 or the 2004 menus in them. I have a case from 01/2005 that has the 2004 menus and a case from 4/2005 that has the 2005 menus. I'm curious when they switched over.

kman -They still have the 2004 menus in them,

I was hoping to try out the sloppy joe or chicken fajita. I may buy a couple of his 11/2007 insp. cases for 75.00 + shipping since they have the same meals and cost less. They did get here pretty quickly and he didn't try to gouge me on the s/h like a lot of ebay sellers.
