I believe I'd need a paper trail on those.

That's about what I was thinking.

Abandoned 113s destined for Egypt. Now for sale to the public....

Yep, wouldn't touch those without a papertrail.

Anyone ask about paperwork?

Comex International was founded by the Wilson family with 40 years of salvage experience. The founder and CEO, Charlie Wilson, was also founder of SeaRail International Inc., a traditional salvage services company; founder and CEO of SalvageSale, another online commercial salvage company; and co-founder and President of Tanks for Schools, a non-profit designed to bring education programs to children in impoverished countries by salvaging weapons of war.

Apparently a US company based in Huston, but they have offices in S. America, Europe, and one in Dubai UAE.

Very Interesting…….No paper work. I spoke with Tim Nguyen and they were in fact abandoned. He did mention they had an e-mail from the Army (which one) that said they were released for sale. Both are on the same bid and it ends the 9th, with no minimum bid. He was told they did run when they were first brought in and had not been stripped.

Comex is a legitimate international logistics firm, and this sounds like it might be the real deal. HOWEVER, I would get a LOT of documentation and follow up on EVERYTHING before I'd make any bids. PLUS, I would make them contingent bids, i.e. you agree to pay X dollars for the item, provided the seller guarantees the delivery and legality of the merchandise. Perhaps submit the money you wish to bid to a escrow account of your choosing, and if all works out, the money will be released from escrow.

Just an idea...

I asked for vin no#s said there was none

 

[bulldog_mack13]

hmmm hmmm , does anyone think they are on loan or stolen? Id like to toss a bid

 

[101ABSniper]

I Think and i minght be wrong but they have to be demiled if they stay here in the usa because they were going to egypt for ther army and the way are gov is so worred about us geting or hands on one now they may come and take them back then you are out of the money you put in to them

 

[Barrman]

How many of you saw or at least thought about seing the Tom Hanks movie "Charie Wilson's War?" Wonder if that is the same man?

 

[Floyd]

Imho, they are legit. Whoever owned them had more money than brains. Most likely they thought they could just ship them to Egypt and be done with it. Obviously unable to garner an export license and just gave up. MadDawg had a very good idea, if they go for it.

It sounds legit but I would be forewarned that the Federal Government would most likely watch this like a hawk or should I say eagle. If the wrong folks get in as president it might be sparrow or crow.

Mike, I think you're right on the money with that post.

Anybody want to go in one together?

 

[uh60]

Let see a EUC for a canoe what about a APC ? LOL....

 

[halftrack]

Somebody wants them, I just bidded a large amount (more than I ever did for any GL lot) and was not the highest bidder.

 

[David_4x4]

Heard through some reliable sources these have to be scrapped

 

[maddawg308]

What happened with these? Did anyone here get them? The auction looks like it has closed with a high bidder....
