Obiii,
Just re-read your comments from above about being close to the beltway...I placed bids on the Vandenberg AFB in CA brass as well as the Jolon CA Army brass and they climbed just as high as that PA sale. As you suggested, the Gov may be quietly buying and shredding. Most retailers are...
I plan to bid on several of the very small lots (1000 lbs) on the last day, but don't expect the prices will be any less stupid than the last auction. You did notice they have gotten smart and broke most of the lots into small single pallet size. Even still, probably only worth a last minute...
Hell, let it go! With four more years of O, just add 5 zero's to the price of primers and you'll be a rich man when it turns up. Of course living in MD, in 4 years it could be a capital offense to possess evil shiny primers!:D
In case you missed the depot post, Hodgden 1lb is in stock at PowderValley, also Win748 1Lb, H335 (both)
Edit:Varget GONE
Edit: H335 8lb GONE
Edit: H335 1lb GONE
Shocking!! Lot of interesting ways to look at ALL of today's auctions. I can tell you the one's I participated in had SEVERAL (>3) big buyers come in with less than 5 minutes and more than double the price. With shelves empty of loaded ammo, could be brass suppliers or manufacturers coming in...
My calc's on your auction are as follows: $6700 current bid x min. 10% higher by close Tue@5pEST=$7370 + TAX + 10% GovLiq Commission = $8600 + $100 pick up Fee = $8700
Value of 19 Ammo Cans (based on $14 new @ Widener's and Approx 60lbs of Wt) = $8434 divided by approx 986lbs Brass if all...
Obii and HarCo,
Thanks for the reply. Lets wait for this Mechanicsburg bid to play out (if you guys are still bidding) before we discuss further on a new thread. I dont want to upset those participating in the current auction. I also have bids in for other Auctions running at GL. Looks...
I Agree 100%. I am in under the right conditions...for 5.56 @ .02-.04c/cart approx $5000.00 worth. I have an idea using contract law that will protect ALL parties and their interest prior to AND after bid closing (even for participation as low as 10,000 cartridges). I don't want to affect...
