Nuts.
I suspect if this is the beginning, it will be like the Iltii surplused out. Various lots, some good, some bad. At first the hungries will jump on them and drive the prices high, just like the Iltis. Then it will bottom out.
If I recall correctly, some of the first Iltis were anywhere from 3-5K. When I bought mine I paid $1500 each for decent runners. In the end it was all residue and still commanded the same prices as runners.
The sweet spot in right after the mad rush and just before the panic last minute buyers once the supply runs out.
Any ideas on supply chain for these beasts?
Lots of Iltii were incomplete to start with at auction and we know how the parts sourcing for these went.
On another note, I understand the the US Govt is releasing mas quantities of HMMVW, maybe that market will bottom and provide decent entry level pricing....
