The sky is falling!!!! The fact is the shift has taken place and the only real option is to make the best of it. Just my two cents.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
GL routinely diverts stuff from the auctions for their retail side.I thought there were laws in place to prevent such a situation. So no one gets the golden deal. Everything has to be public auctioned to the highest bidder per gov contract specs. I could see ironplanet linking the gov auctions for construction type equipment to the search in their civilian equipment auction site. I don't see construction cosmonauts having any real interest in the cargo trucks they really aren't practical for most uses and the stuff loggers and farmers use they already know where to find.
That will dramatically reduce the prices-I'll bet 80% of the people buying this stuff are buying it on plastic and paying it off in time.Well I just signed up and the first thing I noticed is that they don't take credit cards. You have to do a wire transfer within three days of winning the auction. That means you need real money.
The K&G Ron was still asleep.

You also only have eight days to remove the item from where you bought it. Real convenient if it is an unmanned site or they only load out one or two days a week.
I'm also thinking that all the good GL folks I have cultivated relationships with are not going to do dik to help me remove anything that is sold by GOVPLANET.
CHANGE BAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!, NOT ALWAYS A UPGRADE
Methinks that in the future we will refer to GL as "the good old days".
Interesting theory. And while I am certainly one of those you mention, I have observed that the price of rolling stock has risen up to and over the GL $10,000 limit for using credit cards. So I don't think the IP rules will have much impact....I'll bet 80% of the people buying this stuff are buying it on plastic and paying it off in time. So either the prices go down or the policy will change.
It'll be interesting to see which way things fall. I can understand why they don't want to take plastic though. That's a 3% cut on average for them. Or they might start taking plastic like many gun stores do, if you agree to forfeiting a "discount" for cash.That will dramatically reduce the prices-I'll bet 80% of the people buying this stuff are buying it on plastic and paying it off in time.

and the days of free fuel are gone IP takes it out. trust me on that.
Of course if you can't pay your VISA bill you just get dinged on your credit report. If you can't pay your HELOC they foreclose on your house.Or people will take out HELOC's (Which makes more sense anyways if you're going to carry debt).
Which didn't have a factor at all in the 2007 financial collapse.....Or people will take out HELOC's (Which makes more sense anyways if you're going to carry debt)
There's a bunch of ways to pay for things other than visa if you don't have the money. And most are cheaper over any reasonable time frame.
