GMTK AND SGMTK where are they all?

[319cssb]

I used to buy a couple of GMTK from govliq and gave them to friends and veterans i knew would need them. I kept one box for myself and meticulous maintained it. I got rid of a lot of my tools and since i moved to SC, it became a staple and i use it every day.
Last Friday, after working late on my daily driver, i forgot to lock back my car and the tool box was stolen (made a police report, but you know how does go).

long story short , i need to find a replacement. Not one for $1600 on ebay SMH.
I bought 5 boxes for $550 back then and gave 4 of them away minus one i kept. Buy now i cant find them anymore anywhere.
Does someone have a lead or a box for sale for a decent price? I sure would appreciate it.

I forgot to mention I have about $600 to spend on a box

I forgot to mention I need the box, plus the tools that go inside of it.

Not just tool kits, nearly all surplus has disappeared since GL lost the contract. How about a Standard Automotive Tool Set (SATS)? I just picked this up at auction and anxious to get it home.

They lost the contract because IP agreed to pay 6% vs GL 2% over and above the agreed settlement price. Accordingly, that is why the mil gen start at a $1200 bid opening at IP vs GL start at $25 and go from there.

The was I see it IP is going to have a tough time unloading all of the surplus at such high starting prices and will eventually have to lower them. When they start listing tri-walls filled with equipment/gear I want to see how they are going to price everything with 100+ different NSNs' in the box.

According to the rep at GL, IP is not doing well with the gov on this.

I bet, surplus must be piling up with IP. I hope the good ole days return again someday. I have inventory that sits for years before finding a buyer and that is why some surplus goes for pennies on the dollar.

Back on topic, check with Carnac. He was hoarding these things and selling them reasonably.

Apologies. The Hijack was not intentional.

I would also like to see these tool kits again.

Thing is just that i dont want a sears tool kit.

 

[CARNAC]

I gifted most of mine. I'm hoping for an electronics tool kit in the next month or so for the start of this years robotics competition. Kid is on the team this year.

I have also been looking for their return.

Iron Planet stinks at selling stuff but my opinion is immaterial. I'm about done buying anything but an occasional GMTK.

Nice Score! Seen those as bathrooms and kitchens but not a tool shop.

You might help a local FD to get some tool kits from DOD surplus. If their state forester participates in the program. Every FD needs hand tools and most vol FD have diddly.

DOD lists surpus tool kits in lots of several to many and if the FD requests one they might as well request the entire lot. The guy that does the work (as arrange pickup/transport) likely would have one coming as a thank you.
