Is it safe to assume they don't pay rent on that office? I've also seen many GL employees at various sites. They didn't exactly graduate top in their class. ****, I'd bet many didn't graduate from anything. Once site I went to made me think I was in the middle of some gang meeting. Point is I doubt they are out a whole lot for these guy's salaries.
So, on a $2000 truck we pay $200 premium, plus $60 for an SF67 that costs them nothing. Their legwork consists of taking pictures of the items, writing a 2-line description, and listing it on the web site. Once sold, they look at the EUC to make sure its right, and forward it to B.C. Doesn't sound like a lot, considering they made $260.
Now, how about some of these lots that sell for millions? How would you feel if you had to write out an extra $200,000 for a buyer's premium?

A lot of you seem to think the 10% buyers premium is what GL gets off a sale, that's just an EXTRA, made up fee they get on top.
They get a good percentage of the actual item price PLUS a 10% they tack on because a buyers premium is a "standard industry practice".
They make a bundle on everything sold.

i am as mad as anyone but i am also aware that any talk of fraud could lead this nice hobby to the grave for everyone if we are not careful.
we all unfortunately agree to the terms and hope to make the best of them....i

It's a 40+ year old army truck. We're not talking about cocaine money, here.
What's the penalty for failing to fink in this situation, anyways? According to the paperwork, it looks like you just don't get to participate in future government contracts.
Well I don't know about you, comrade, but if the Fed's ever do something so patently absurd as to demand back a bunch of M35A2s, I don't plan on ever doing business with them again anyways.
Hypothetically speaking, anyways. I don't like army trucks. They're icky.

I guess with everyone torqued at the GL and refusing to bid, some of us will have access to some really cheap trucks..........have I got a deal for you.

Pretty ironic considering I don't even "have access" to the truck I won back in August.

It's really quite puzzling. The deuce I just picked up is a 1969, and its gauges are just plain old painted dials and hands. Definitely nothing radioactive about it... and thankfully, it isn't on the list of those needing inspection.
Does anybody have a deuce that has glow in the dark meter dials? I should think that if they were out there, someone would have noticed by now.

Just a wild guess, this has nothing to do with gauges. Nukes or not.
