[Milsurplus] OT: "Surplus Stupidity" Is Alive and Well.

[Ray Fantini]

Look on the Government Liquidators web site:
 http://www.govliquidation.com/index.html 
 and you will always find around five hundred or so listings just for trucks. The 5 ton six by six like the M35, M923 and M925 has been selling in the five thousand price range or less for a while now.  Something like this lot:
 http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=7355855&convertTo=USD 

 not a bad little truck for sixteen hundred dollars its sitting at right now, and it's not just trucks they are selling there is an almost endless supply of generators that are always on sale. Think the government dose a fair job on selling the dual use equipment like what's on these sites but the problem is that items that are military use only like the MARPs and Humvees cannot be sold thru regular surplus channels so what's the point of bringing them back to this country to then have to pay a contractor to demill them and end up selling them for scrap?
