French Camp pickups require your vehicle to be searched and they will run all vehicles occupants drivers licenses through the "wants and warrants" background check. We have seen them take away people in handcuffs for outstanding violations. They will also inspect the vehicle (quite often with...
Hi Guys,
Looking for some assistance at Redstone. If anyone is close and interested in making a little side money please drop me a line. I have a sewing machine that needs to be set onto a pallet for a load out. Redstone says this is too much work for their limited staff......
Cheers...
I disagree. A simple computer program that disables a bidders ability to bid once they reach 50K, 100K, etc., until they have been verified, would not be difficult. It could be automated, up until the point of the verification. Those bidders that know they will be reaching these dollar values...
Yes I asked and the polite reply was to refer me to the default bidder section of the TOS. I have never asserted that it is GL running up the bids, my question is what are they doing to combat large scale bid defaults?
When I show up at the military auctions in Switzerland or Germany, the...
We have had a number of experiences with Andrew and his customer service is top notch, some of the best GL purchases we have experienced were as a result of his performance. Now if we can only figure out a way for him to do the staff training at the other locations...!
Cheers,

You are missing my point. The problem is a systematic Fraud of bidding. A bidder that comes in and bids well over 200K in a single event, should be verified that they have the ability to purchase. Bidder #77562986 had his bidding turned off during the auction until he could prove to GL that...
Hi Guys,
What is GL's responsibility to verify the legitimacy of bidders?
We recently had a Default Bidder #77005413 come into some auctions at Fort Lewis and simultaneously bid up 20 items into the 8-12+K range. Said bidder then defaulted on the 14 auctions that he did win.
One of the...
Hi Guys,
I am looking for the manufacturer of the U.S. Made shielded ignition wires as found on the M38A1's and other MV's. We are trying to source a custom made wire for an export project that uses those screw on wire ends.
I see a number of vendors are selling new manufacture kits (made in...
Hi Guys,
We use a liquid abrasive slurry machine by Kleiber & Schultz. Same thing you guys are doing just uses a silicone water pump and high pressure air. Anyways, we add a chemical called Protek 8020 to the slurry which does not allow flash rust to form for a good 2-3 weeks. In our case a...
Yes I am quite familiar with TD Pinzgauers and have imported the handful that are in the United States in private hands.
#1 - Putting it on the road will be a problem depending upon your state.
#2 - With the gas pinz's there is a dealer support network with new and used spare parts...
Spent some time last night following a couple of threads and came across this thread in regards to the Pinzgauer and spare parts. If you understand the market, it may help to temper some of your expectations in regards to the spare parts.
First and foremost you are talking about a vehicle...
Hello SS,
Have spent a god bit of time this morning trying to find this information on the site and did not have any luck. Hopefully this isn’t a repeat, if so please link the location……
This is in regards to GL’s Sealed Bid Results, or lack there of.
My company participates in...
Makes you wonder when you have an "auction system" that refuses to release the winning bid amounts per lot. Leaves the possibility of potential questionable practices.
We purchase surplus from 6 separate military auction systems. GL is the only one that will not release what the winning bid...
