that cup of pop...
I can appreciate all of this. I own two businesses. I just feel like the military stuff is different because we do it to honor the military. CamMaybe some of you don't understand a BUSINESS? People in business to make money must mark up what they sell. I run an auto shop, sure you can go buy that alternator from xyz store a lot cheaper than mine, but here is the price of mine, i have to mark it up to make money and survive. Same for the price of a biscuit at hardees, you think they don't mark up from what their material costs are? HEL YA! that cup of pop....cost them MAYBE $.05 for the pop! you don't complain when you pay $1.59 for it do ya? Same with the trucks...man with the most money wins. you want a big truck and are bidding against bidders with deep pockets? just keep bidding, those bidders will eventually loose money and wont be selling their trucks, so they wont be buying. Also the supposed scare of the truck not coming out and being sold only as scrap has got prices way high! To me thats a nice marketing scam by GL and others,,,they sell for more, they make more. Get us scared and in a frenzy to buy something that we might not be able to buy in a few months...prices go up. Supply and demand. More power to em. Plus you buy the truck, transport it back to your shop, make it run, get the EUC cleared, tag it, have title in hand...YEAH its worth twice as what you paid for it cause most of the hard stuff is already out of the way! If I was a kanjillionaire (lots of zeros on the end) I would buy all I could, scrap them at no matter what price, that makes the ones I have worth more. But thats just me.
So you want a truck, either bid, bid bid or just sit and wait, take your chances....just like the guys did when the humvees were being sold way back when. They sold for what? $1000 and they ran and drove.......what are they worth now? $30,000!!!!! So bid, or wait.
I know, thanks CamFree market, it's just part of it. Hang in there, and you will get a 818.
This is what I am talking about. Every 5 ton on GL right now is the same exact price......... Someone went on there and bid all the trucks to the same price.....What annoys me is the dealers that bid up every like-item in an auction to the point no one else can afford- in some cases their bid is beyond last week's retail price. Of course then next weeks retail price is 3X what it was, because the dealer sets the retail price. When the dealers buy everything, individuals HAVE to go through them. I don't bid on GL to end up paying retail. Of course, with the minimum bid now ridiculously high (some stuff isn't worth $150) I don't bid on much anymore.
I realize it's everyones right to bid as high as they can, and profit if they want to. But I wouldn't be bidding on GL if I could afford retail prices.
What is "pop"? Is that like coke?
I don't know how to do that ??Cam - I think M1075 might have some M818 tractors left, he bought a few a while ago. PM him and see if he has any left.
