Unfortunately this is also prevalent within the militaria collecting community with "What have I bought, what is it worth?" posts common on the forums. Thanks to current TV shows and the insatiable demand for this material a whole generation of speculator 'collectors' have been encouraged to seek 'home runs'.

And It’s also common that people who have nothing to BUY or SELL and lots of spare time will put their NOSE into web forms .

Hello Kam

Is it possible to get your serial numbers date of manufacture etc for your Non USMC jeeps? This way i can add them to my data base. Including the trailer.

Thanks
Eric

I like the worn out look of original data plates .
I know The complete Govt process for lost Old title,
search and then registration process .
Getting new Vin no. Etc
Been in the hobby for long time now 😊
As my add says wanted early Slat grill or script MB pars etc.
It can be with or without title .
Some jeeps can only be donor for other jeeps .
Seems like you have never unscrewed the jeep data plate
Without Rcmp permission 😊.


Yes not interested in knowing how you got scammed etc or other scams
Are going around .You can start another post for it.
Don’t take it personally, I just don’t like getting useless notifications .


And yes buyer beware . Few days ago got email, someone
Selling me 1941 Slat grill jeep for $12500 which I saw recently
sold on eBay for $25000. He sent me same Pics details .

Thanks

"And It’s also common that people who have nothing to BUY or SELL and lots of spare time will put their NOSE into web forms," said the speculator to the forum.

So have your found that home run yet or still trolling?
