ebay auction...won't last long

Post by Rich_ » Sat Dec 17, 2005 12:03 pm

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

http://cgi.ebay.com/MRE-NEW-IN-BOX-11-2 ... dZViewItem

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

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.
