The tires and the scrap metal were both on the same CADC For Sale site that the tarps were on. Your MLVWs were listed as scrap metal from the Drumheller Pen.

Here are the links to the ones that came from Alberta.

The tires are at this link:

The truck remnants are here:

Default Questions.......

When they say they are selling scrap steel....... can we assume the trucks have been cut up in pieces..... or ripped appart....... engine damaged beyond repair...... or is the scrap steel a bare complete truck with out tires.....???

In Ottawa they are busting there butts trying to sell used plywood crates at $10 each and they could be making a hefty profit if they sold parts, axles. cargo boxes, etc......

In my opinion it seems like a contract intended for someone specific..... big enought o buy the whole lot over a 12 month period......

I can't understand why they could not sell the tires inlots of 4 for farming use instead of blessing one buyer to buy the all at $2.00 each..... they are listing and selling used Winter tires across Canada for $50 to $100 bucks...

So much for paying the deficit.

Yeck!!!!!

Bob

I had a conversation with somebody that is a regular buyer in Edmonton and was told the Brits have been approached by Ottawa and asked to cut up their ex-BATUS vehicles rather than sell them.

What next?? A long wheel base registry!

This topic seems to get thrashed around to no ones satisfaction. Bob raises a valid point of poor asset value recovery, I wonder if the Auditor Generals office might be interested in this sort of thing.

Thanks for the info Rob I did not think to see the tires in the scrap section as I rarely look there.

Default Gordon....

... if you contact the Auditor General talk to him in English he is not bilingual.

Now we know how LEVY army surplus in Toronto made its fortune back in the early fifties..... have a deep pocket.... buy in bulk.... sell individually for a good mark up...... after all all that LEVY resold was subject to provincial and federal sales tax.......
