New member here, not sure why there are so many M35s out there without buyers, I see many on ebay with zero bids, I thought it would be harder and more competitive to get one of these trucks. I hope to get mine soon, seems like there are a lot out there.

There are a lot out there. I'm not sure the ones you are seeing on ebay but there are a lot of guys that seem to be smoking something when they put their starting bid. Massively overpriced trucks are a reality and there are apparently enough suckers that buy them for it to be justified. Don't be a sucker, stick around a while and you will find one on here for a lot less cash.

Amen Scooter, What are they thinking? When GL is selling them at 150 to start then there is the shipping cost. Its just to much.

Im seeing quite a few around 3 to 4k with zero bids. I would prefer to buy from someone who is on here though, not in a big hurry.

Just take your time. Find something close that you can go see. Take someone who knows about this type of truck and last enjoy it when you get one.

Speculation like stocks -supply and demand theres is a lot of units out there now and more available soon - this is the last year for these old work horses - no foreign government wants then so they dump then on the us- the vehicles are sold for more money that they can get for scrap metal.

Stay low, remain quiet, pay attention to details,
keep your back to the wall and always look for a better way out.

2 kinds of people in life, assets and liabilitys.
When the s**t hits the fan, liability becomes a moving target...

Plance1...lots of folks buy MV's from GL or a few others..(GSA, craigslist etc) and wanna "flip em" for some quick profit...heck...why not?

What ya gotta watch is the price...and prolly more importantly...tag/titleing issues.

Watch out for statements like SF97 pending or BOS only cause your state may or may not accept either of them.

As stated above...look around...get the feel of the system and ask lots of questions before ya commit.
Just my personal rant

That is because all of us that want one dont have the money, and those that have them thier wives (if they have one) said that they had enought. wich i dont get because you can never have to many toys

I bought mine from a guy that was about 90 miles away, on eBay. For me the hassel of loading out of a base, and trying to organize the paperwork to register was soemthing I wasn't interested in doing.
Instead I bought from someone that had bid on 50 trucks and won something like 22 or 23. Then I just picked from his lot, and 1,2,3 I had it home and registered. Then I restored it at my own pace, and it is a winner today.

It is all personal preference.

If a seller really wants to sell one they will go with a no reserve price.

Not many do.
