Deuces are clear for sale again

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

Sure (shure I guess is the new spelling according to what I'm seeing on this site) will be interesting to see what folks will pay for them now.

I recall a grade-school story of Benjamin Franklin, who when once told that "sugar" is the only word in the english language in which the "s" has the "sh" sound, Ben's simplistic reply was, "Are you SURE?"

...and so ends our grammar lesson for today, children.

Speaking of those that have been purchased in the past (and the likelyhood of more to come), CARNAC, oh great and knowing, could you tell us how many M35A2's have been built since the early 50's?

I don't think CARNAC can answer that, he can only see what's in inventory and the somewhat recent past. David Doyle would probably be the best point of contact on that one.

Guess that means I will have plenty of work now!

speaking of which, i was trying to adjust my drivers seat and seem to have screwed something up. do you think you can fix this for me?

We patiently await your return with this answer.....

I have around 50mb's worth. Guess I'll spend the next millenium getting you the answer.

To be honest, David Doyle provided me that number at one point. I think it was like 285,000 but would have to check with him to be 'SHURE'.



Also, by the time I get back to work and get numbers, the stuff will probably already be hitting the sales list.

The following is OPINION ONLY and I have nothing in writing at this time.

1. We're probably looking at 3-4 big waves of trucks hitting the market soon.
Why? DRMO has already released some to GL before the freeze so they're still there. Another set was sent to them after the freeze. Not 'SHURE' if these will be combined with those already there. Another batch is sitting at DRMO which manages by turn in date and offers the stuff to military/federal/state/local/donation. The timing of that cycle and if these cycles must begin from the beginning is a good question. May cause a gap between the near term auction and wave 2 or 3. Next issue was federal budget effect on the military. Nothing was moving. So there was a lot of stuff that was still at units and collection sites. That stuff is just starting to move. Quite a bit of it so that will be wave 3 or 4 that will hit in about 70-90 days.

2. Gut tells me we won't see many deuces coming out before Jan so spend wisely over Christmas. Don't panick buy. There's time. Everyone relax and breath.

How many M35A2's are you showing still in the active inventory? (not at GL or DRMS)

I'm at day 66, not calling GL because I don't want them to cancel my auction.

I am in the same boat with 61 here .

Just confirmed the Demil code change today with GL He said they are also working to eliminate this problem in the future. Seems to be a computer glitch of sorts causing this problem.

Don't give up hope, people. After 64 days, got my notification this afternoon before I left work. Paid in full invoice downloaded, 3 copies made, now to schedule a pickup for a week from next Tuesday. Time to order some parts, hit up Harber Freight for some tools, contact the guy helping me pick up the truck, the list goes on.
