Umm not exactly.

There's more coming up for auction? I thought they were all armored and going to be scrapped by an Aussie contractor?

So out of 280k, only 27 are soft skin?

Well to take it further.... 280K total and only 27 were sold means they changed the demil to sell 0.0096% of the vehicles.

I should probably delete all those numbers and calculations before clinto and swiss get all excited.

So, from ~280,000 HMMWW's. 4,000 of them were selected to be auctioned. And out of 4,000 of them, only 25 (well 27 since there's two more listed now) aren't armored and are sold/to be sold? I'm not an expert on the matter so this is purely speculation. Let's say there's 280K variants out...

There was some well known people that declared the oval office was behind the EPA debacle as well. This is why we didn't just run out and say they would sell HMMWVs.

I don't recall what posting it was in, but I recall it stating that 4,000 were what so far has been earmarked for sale. AM General has produced over 280K HMMWV variants. Of course the armored stuff won't be sold. And I know a lot of stuff got up armored. But it stands to reason there's far...

Looks like I'm going to have to make a new rule. I even had someone PM me asking how to do this.

There's other factors too. They have a contract with the DOD. In the contract they have requirements to list vehicles in a certain time. If DOD says "here's 100,000 truck you need to list", they're not going to be happy if they tried to say "we'll list 20 at a time".

Looks like the next batch will retain the $10K starting bid.

I think they should keep the price the same, or even lower it. I'd bet that if they set it to $7K, even during the blind bidding process they'd all be above $15K at "go" time. I noticed a handfull of them started at under $15K before the live auction. I think what will be even more...

I know you're joking about it, but fair warning to others, this will not be the place (SS) to talk about circumventing legal agreements and laws.

Just wow...

It's been mentioned a few times in the thread already. But I predict $20-30K each. We certainly know they're going to me more than $10K from what some mentioned they've bid already in the blind bid. (And been outbid)

:derailed:

And we're drifting off topic again.....

Unless they start flushing 100K of them, I doubt seriously they'd dip below the $5K mark. Under the $5K mark, I'm a buyer for one. Offroad or not.

Nope. First post outlines that.

Honestly I'd rather find one with a bad engine... Wonder if they'll start surplusing non-runners?
