Was there something special under that cargo bed cover?
I've got two that I'd sell for less than that.....

I saw that truck too, I thought maybe I was crazy for thinking that truck was going a little high. There were some other trucks(M923a1) in sparta that went for over 7k, I think they just thought the pictures were nice, but it didgo through a 2009 rebuild.

Thats $6k more than I paid for mine.

Get ready. Income tax return time is coming. There will be some unusually high prices show up soon.

I checked it this morning and it was over 8K. I was surprise there was more action on it.

I believe Spartan-185 hit the nail on the head. A friend and I have discussed this very topic . If you wanted one you should have bought it before now because the prices are going to be at a premium for the next couple of months . The fact that anyone who stumbles across this site also sees the big GL adds doesn't help either. This is a good thing for the hobby but bad for those trying to make a living selling these things. Just saying put your money in the bank for a while and let it gain interest until the spending spree is over...........

Not trying to jack this thread, but does this apply to remote gl location where certain m923a2 go for 6-7k even 8k and worse looking ones go for 4-5k? I don't want to think what an m925a2 can go for if 923 go for that much.

High price for a rather rough A3. It did have a high serial number though.
Probably bonus time for bidders on stuff that is easier to buy and tougher to sell.

there were lots of 5 tons in Indy that sold for around 4500 today, some with only 44 hr

Yep... I watched it all along. I expected it to go high because of the 505465 S/N and the 1999 contract date. Also, it was a hardtop. Was shocked to see it go for $11,500 though, with a flat rear tire -although the CTIS seemed to be working. Must have had a leaky valve stem seal. Meanwhile, a M35A2 at the same site, which seemed to be in decent shape, went for around $3,500 or so IIRC.
