How about the person who seems to be selling off their collection at ridiculously high starting bid prices? If you've been on eBay, I'm sure you've seen them. Great quality but !?!
I won't name them, they probably visit this forum. I just don't understand!

Dear God sometimes I wonder how much money these people make or if they get any sales at all.. I wish people wouldn’t be foolish enough to fuel the scammers by paying that kind of money for a packet of damn cheese spread

That's the price for 10 sachets... is that not a good price?
Also that MRE might be cheap from US perspective but would fly on UK/European eBay at that price

Yeah I haven't found anything too outrageous posted here lately. Since COVID-19 hit, prices on all ration items have been out to lunch. I'd like to see more posts of something like a guy selling what he incorrectly claims to be a "vintage Vietnam era mini bottle of Tabasco sauce" for $50, shipping not even included.

I am absolutely SHOCKED at how much 1960s and 70s dated MCI Accessory packets are going for now. It seems like last year a dozen or so of them were shill bid up to ridiculous prices of $125-$200 by a group of sellers which subsequently destroyed the market by pricing these incredibly common ration items well beyond what they are worth (about $30). Also MCI's themselves are very expensive now as well considering demand has not risen, nor supply dropped by any means.
Particularly interesting is the price fluctuations of 1950s dated RCI and RIC items. the B units for several months sold for ridiculous amounts, but recently have gone back to reasonable levels ($25ish a piece now is what I have been getting them for the last several months). The 1950s accessory packets went for insane amounts as well, but seem to have come back to a reasonable level.
It also appears the WWII C rations peaked recently at around $500-$600 a can, but fell quickly back to the $300 mark. Thats still very expensive in my opinion but much more in line with normal market trends.
