A case of 1989 MRE's, what are they worth?

Post by surplus-addict » Wed Aug 29, 2012 8:06 pm

I've got a case of 1989 MRE's sitting here, all unopened and in great shape eith the original box and sleeve.
What the heck am I supposed to do with this? Is it worth anything? I'll try to post some photos tonight.

If you have an ebay account try there. I sold some vintage 1980's cases that were still sealed and banded for a good price to some colletors here in the US. If not then somebody here on the forum might be interested in them. Do provide some pictures, thanks.

Thanks!

I will post some photos tomorrow, tonight just went so fast :D

The case is not sealed, it has been opened. But all the MRE's are intact and in PERFECT condition. Could I sell em individually maybe?

Thanks for the reply again!

Well, I counted them again, and in my excitement I discovered that I miscounted: there are only TEN. So two are missing :cry:

I guess I will have to sell them individually.

Please don't mind the feet in the photo, this is my off time, I'm relaxing :mrgreen:

And a random MRE I pulled out of the box.

I'd still say try and sell them as a whole lot. If you sell them individually that might be more work than its worth.
