RCI Entire box question (65 DOLLARS)
Here is a link
https://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-US-Arm ... SwszZa4iAW
Is anybody interested in pooling money together and splitting the rations? There are 12 of them and I think this would be really cool. If we could get 12 people to get in on this the RCI would only be 62.50 ONLY!!!!!!!! plus whatever shipping is required to send it to you.
I am really hoping this works out and that means everybody will be able to try this! And shipping will be 60 bucks, so who ever pays for shipping should get the outer box for display.
Not sure I hope we could figure this out. Maybe steve, would be able to find a good home to some of these. Not sure. Let's do this guys!!

I for one will be the first to put 65 bucks down on this.

And on top of that I was able to get him to take it down to 700$ instead of 750

Hey Simon,
If you offer that guy $400-475 for that case of 1962 MCI's, he would take the offer.
I bought a case of 62's from the same guy for $400 + shipping.
Note: The hole on picture 4 in the corner of the case. Large enough for a whole slew of things to move into.
(This is the reason why this case has not sold yet)

Do you by chance have any more MCIs? And were they any good?

Re: RCI Entire box question (65 DOLLARS)
Just realized you may think these are RCIs judging by your title to the thread.
This would be a case of 12 MCIs that he is selling.
The RCI was a larger 24hr ration that came 6 to a case.
Just wanted to clarify this to help prevent any potential confusion.

It is kindof a shame. The mystery on that case is not worth the money. Then again, maybe they are still okay. If the case is close to original weight then that is a good sign. If you could only hold it and move it around a little to hear for dust, dirt, and rattle you could tell much more than just pictures.
I have MCIs for trade.

It's okay man! It is indeed exciting to see a nice sealed case of C rats like that.
But with that hole in the corner, i say that one is a gamble. He really should take $375 shipped for that but I know he thought his last case was going to fetch more on auction. So he isn't letting this one go as cheap.
