I would say not much, but the 16 inch gun barrels surely would make the historical list.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
We would gladly buy as many airplane hulls as we could get our grubby little fingers on. Even if we had to rip them apart with grapple buckets and skid loaders, the amount of aluminum to recover would be quite valuable to us. Transporting the thing is the big problem, if they would let us tear them apart in their yard, we might move to.... I know what you are saying Jeff and I agree. What would be a great deal for us would not do the average Joe much good. Kind of like the 60 or so five tons now, with no engines and wrecked noses, not many folks have the means to handle them, much less gain much from their recovery.Who sets the threshold on whats "regular GL fodder" and whats historic or unusual? Theres stuff out there that some would not bid on but think its pretty neat and want to share and some who think that "pretty neat" is worth bidding on and would rather not see it broadcast. Thats where we end up with the arguing over what post stay and what post get deleted.
Just my, spend it as you like.
PMs about current auctions should also be banned because there is nothing to stop potential collusion or trading information about auctions using PMs.
I know Doghead has already closed the thread, but I'd like to offer a little insight to things.I like the "no posting" rule but think that your idea would be going a bit too far. What I say in a PM to another member, who is mostly likely a fairly close friend, is really no ones buisness. While I don't hold any misperceptions about confidentiality I can't imagine the mods going through PMs on a regular basis and the idea that they would need to in order to "protect" the site from FED intervention is a bit ludicrous. I can just as easily pick up the phone and call someone about a lot and if I don't have their phone number can PM them to send it to me. Anything beyond saying don't post live auctions is![]()
