Oh sure,
Just when I figure I'm done my buying you go and get anotehr great deal!

I'm in for at least 5 perhaps more, and I can do my own stenciling as well...cause I have a special project in mind for when I do my next cache...sly grins...nope grnbrg you can't get any hints.

As of this morning it looks like we are at just over 40 cans for 11 teams.

[Dragonfreys]

Well we are up to 48 cans for 13 teams so most aren't looking for that many at a time. I will discuss this with the MBGA executive to see if this is something that we can do for this level of interest.

Thanks for participating.

Just found out that Army Surplus is starting their sale today at noon.

i picked up a couple of ammo cans. They were only 20% off United Army's regular price. Which means they are the same price as at Princess Auto. If you wait until later in the week, they will likely have bigger discounts.

As of today (Friday, August 3), United Army Surplus only had 2 50-cal ammo boxes left that I could see. Prices are still only 20% off. It seems that S.I.R. purchased their inventory and is running the sale. I would also guess that they took the best items to sell for regular price at their store.

For now, it seems that most things are overpriced, so the 20% discount just brings it down to a reasonable price. Well, except for the Garmin Geko 301s they had listed at (are you sitting down?) ... $849.99! Even with the 20% discount that's still about 3 times the price it should be.

I got one of those ammo cans on the day the sale started. When I was there, there was about 8 or so left. Sucks that the place went under though :{

EDIT: And yeah, I saw the price of those Geko's too. I figured it HAS to be a typo of some sort on the price tags. I figured one of the three numbers didn't belong in there, and it was one of those GPS systems that are under a hundred bucks maybe... but from what you describe, that's also inaccurate. Man... someone screwed up good on that. I wonder if they sold ANY

The MBGA has 30 regular sized ammo boxes in stock selling for $10 each.



If you’d like to purchase an ammo box, please send a message to MBGA Gear. The ammo boxes will also be available for purchase at MBGA hosted events.

Thanks DragonFreys for loading up your wagon at Westbourne Army Surplus

Slippery had a good idea. Pick one of the cans in this pile as a cache.

[slippery_1]

Any you all said nothing good could come from living in the north...
Dragonfrey's admits that good ideas come from the north now...

I'll have to get one at the next event.. Will peter become the Traveling Cache salesman?

[Peter and Gloria]

Actually, TurdleEggs has the pleasure of storing our supply of Ammo Cans.

If anyone’s looking for an ammo box I’ll be bringing a few with me to MBGA Pub Nite: When Irish Eyes Are Caching. Come find me if you’d like one!
