Marine Corps backpack group buy opportunity.

[Jarhead77]

Excellent! Thank you so much for running this. Pretty excited!!!

 

[Miketodd]

Thanks again! Rep inbound. Definantly interested in some like my PMs to Cathy said!

I would like to pick up 2 or 3 of the packs as well. Location/price?

Update. I was able to procure plenty of the MARPAT main packs, all of which were classified as F7 (none of the H7). I have to get a lot of pack lids and belts now but that auction does not start or finish until next week. A lot of variables in the air still but it looks like these should be below $20 per pack at least after they get their lids, and belts and get to the north side of Indy for distribution. I appreciate all the offers to get one on my way back from Ohio but that is going to be logistically impossible. I have to get them all in one spot, sort through the rough ones, match up parts and clean some of them before setting up a way to distribute.

Glad to hear it!

Let me know if you need a hand sifting through/damage control...

Also, if you happen to get a spare (odd number) Gen 1 hip belt or lid I'll take it off your hands. I need it for another pack, but still would like at least one more of the bunch you're putting together.

I started this circus. It would be disingenuous not to offer to come to your base of operations to aid in the logistics of the whole endeavour. If you need more manual labour for the sorting, packing, shipping, etc., I'm in. Just PM me the when and where if you want my help.

Too cool, my first group buy!! I will be heading through Terre Haute to Vincennes around Christmas and can bring some that way if there are people on that side of the world.

I am off several days a week if you need help with transport or sorting, etc. Just let me know. Thanks for puting this together and making it happen!

Just found this thread. Definitely interested in at least one if there are any decent packs left after everyone above gets their shot.

I have been drooling over the possibilities on GovLiquidators for years. Rep to SmileDocHill and CathyInBlue for getting something started

 

[castle134]

I like to get in on a few of them myself

I live in Vincennes, was gonna just drive to TH when this all first started, but would be great if you could meet up for these.

 

[GONZO!!!]

I am in for at least 3

GONZO!!!

 

[Kedric]

Excellent news! I too can offer to help with some of the grunt work, etc if needed since I am in for 2 of them. I'm up in Marion and have a small pickup truck (Dakota) if that helps with distribution any.

 

[fpdshooter]

I'm in for 1-2.

 

[Jerry]

OK... I'm quite interested to see how this turns out.

I'll come out of my hole and say that I'm in depending on price +/- 25 or so.

Here is a quick introduction to these packs for those interested.

the link from theKid is awesome guys, check it out.

BTW, I'm getting a lot of PM's alluding to "I hope I'm not too late to get in on this" and let me just say, no, nobody is going to be too late.
The auction site is NOT like Ebay or any other auction I've done. You put the stuff you are interested in on a "watch list", the stuff you bid on gets put on another list but gets removed from the watch list. I opened two windows to track both so I didn't just keep running up the bid on one lot of packs when another lot of the same thing stayed at a lower price. Near the end, the auctions that end just disappear from either list, if a bid had been placed on a lot it prolongs the closing time for that lot. There is no place to go and keep track of won bids immediately after being the highest bidder. Needles to say I lost track of a couple and won more lots than I ever planned on buying.
If people on INGO buy all the packs I got Indiana will look like a military base with all the digital camo this GB will have distributed .

Please post in this thread if you are interested in a pack, if you haven't already, so I have at least a list of people and something of a "who came first" order. That being said I simply cannot imagine running out of packs prior to everyone getting as many as they want.

Glad to hear this! I was starting to worry.....!and like I said before, let me know what I can do to help. I can zip over to Westfield any evening and most weekends.

Wow That is awesome!!! I will also put my name in the hat for helping with sorting.

I as well can lend a hand, shoot me a PM if needed, I'm on the south side of Indy but am willing to travel to help out.
