How much have you spent with GL?

[M1075]

Today while dowloading a paid-in-full invoice from GL, I clicked on the link to download an excel file of my past GL purchases. WOW, what a surprise. I really spent that much? What about you?

EDIT-
What started as a humorous thread may actually provide some good insight. This poll is far from scientific, but I imagine that it could speak VOLUMES to the GL powers about our interrest and committment to the hobby. Collectively, I imagine we Steelsoldiers members have spent over $1M with GL. Maybe $1M per year, maybe more, who knows? We can't post bidder numbers here and we can't see bidder history anyway!

I hit the $10,000 mark and my first purchase was just earlier this year I need to take a break and sell a couple to my friends to they can get used instead of killing the grass in my horse pasture. My kids don't really need to go to college, do they? Both my boys keep telling me which ones I should keep because they are going to drive them when they get older. After I got my first one I just kept wanting more!

$1K-10K here

I have no $$ to spend on GL (or anywhere else, for that matter) and no time for any additional projects. I guess that comes under self-control due to outside influences.

Are you working for my wife? I take the 5th. I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me.

 

[Recovry4x4]

I've spent between 4 and 5 grand with them.

 

[desertfox]

Well I am probably in the $25K range over a 4 yr period.

 

[wreckerman893]

Well...the unpaid balance on my MC is 12K you can prob double that to get the total.
BUT I HAVE TOYS MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[HeadWizard]

more than $10k and less than $30K.

I'm afraid to add it up - and I'd have to find where they are all parked.

This post got me thinking and I had never tallied it up before. I have always ended up flipping the items for more or getting my fair share of parts before selling. I added up the totals from my past invoices $13,474.09 over the past 6 years, this includes GL fees and tax.

I used to conduct a regular business doing surplus material resale, so I'm in for WAY over $10K over the past several years. Not to the $100K mark, though.

Interesting that the GL website Excel spreadsheet only lists a couple of my inexpensive purchases. I've spent over $4,000 and they only show $280.

 

[fstfrdy]

I have bought 3 vehicle from GL including a m35 and a m1009 parts truck and am still only $1,000 in the hole. won't stay that low for long (hoping)

 

[ecostruction]

Approaching 20k. That's not just vehicles though. Trailers and other odds and ends.

 

[wdbtchr]

I've heard so many horror storied about GL I just don't buy from them. I bought all my stuff through GSA.

 

[bulldog_mack13]

5K total and got two nice running trucks, M818 and M109A3

 

[GunnersHusband]

16K for 5 trucks.......

 

[ARMYMAN30YearsPlus]

Wow:
I am going to have to change my vote, I topped $10,000 with all the trailers, trucks ,welders, generators, tents, tools, and radios. That does not count the truck I bought from Tim but that was not a part of the thread.
