I know it has been awhile since I have posted, especially since the process has been running smooth up until the last few months. I understand everyone's frustration, but I can assure you that it probably fails to equal mine. As to an answer, I have no clue what is going on with the USMC EUC...
No we are not, not even close...but we are also 3 months into the contract, not 18 years...All of our sale avenues are not in place as of yet, our automated warehouse inventory system is still being fine tuned, and we are working on breaking down lots into more realistic numbers to appeal to a...
I am guessing that my auction management team feels that as long as they continue to liquidate 85% + of the auction weekly that the current prices are supported by the market. Once the market no longer supports the price, the price drops. Unfortunately, that is called economics.
Don't forget that DRASH is simply the acronym for Deployable Rapid Assembly Shelter, HDT is the main manufacturer now. However, I know when my Stryker Bde first started getting them issued back in the early 00s there were several companies still fighting for the main contract. If I remember...
Currently TSC is averaging about 12-15 working days from the date they (TSC) receives the packet. Provided the packet is good, my team submits them to TSC within 3-5 business days of receiving it from you. From the date you send it in to GP, provided you didn't get an email saying it needed...
If you have been waiting 5 months for an SF97 then you need to call in to customer service or PM me with the item numbers. As of today, SF97s are being sent to buyers within 3-5 days of items being picked up. The only issue we are having right now is with the Montana DMV in regards to HMMWV...
Not sure where everyone is getting their info, but since I am the one in charge of that area, I can tell you that there is no movement to start charging storage fees as of now. We have been taking storage fees out of the proceeds due to a seller if they abandon the item and it is sold under an...
I can answer a few of these questions with what I know.
Is the the supply dwindling? Short answer is yes, but not just HMMWVs. DLA Rolling stock as a whole has been dwindling over the past several months. This time last year we were receiving anywhere from 150 to 300 items a week (once again...
The two main warehouses will be in Chambersburg, PA and Las Vegas, NV. Some items will also list from our current sites, as well as regional consolidation points. Basically anything that can be stored outside, Gensets, Boats, etc, will sell in the field. The items that need to be out of the...
It will be the current GP website. In the beginning, hopefully within the next 30 days, the majority of items will run through our regular Weds auction. Once the Warehouses are manned and running, then you will see a rolling 7 day auction for the smaller warehouse stuff. Everything though...
We are determined to make this process as buyer/shipper friendly as possible. In fact I am on Day 3 of day long Skype meetings going over the entire implementation plan. As of now, pickups at the warehouses will be almost exactly like our current pickup plan. The warehouses will be offering...

11/13: 0...
That would not be the first time we have heard of that. We also do not plan, as of now, to offer the "mystery meat" triwalls that seemed to be fairly prevalent. Our intent is to break down all groups into like kind items, or at a minimum complementary item into individual lots. Our warehouse...
That may happen in the future, however, based on how the DLA worded the contract, there is only 1 warehouse per contract. They split the overall Non Rolling Stock into two separate contacts. The reason for this is that the RCP sites will ship directly to one of the designated warehouses...
First, GovPlanet and IronPlanet is a US Based company. The fact that Ritchie Bros acquired us doesn't change that fact. Second, as I said in my original post not everything is going to the warehouses. Where feasible items will sell on site or at a consolidated yard. Basically anything that...
As of now there will be two regional warehouses due to the way the new contract is structured. These warehouses will not be located on any Military bases. The eastern warehouse will be in Chambersburg, PA and the Western warehouse will be in Las Vegas, NV. There will be quite a bit on...
Thanks Gunzy! It proves what my team can do when they are provided the appropriate tools and materials. The goal I set for them when I took over was 2 weeks after pickup, unfortunately the SF97 shortage derailed that goal. Hopefully we are back on pace to take care of you guys.
My apologies for missing last week, I was in California briefing our Ops plan for the Non Rolling Stock to the executives.
