Just bought 2 M416 trailers, sight unseen! Here is what great days are made of….
A friend was at an auction today and called me about a Diesel Ford that he might bid on. The diesel went to high and while I was on the phone he said "they are about to auction a military trailer". I said “what kind”, he said “no clue” and then I heard someone in the background say "M416"!! I yelled to my friend….BID, go BID!! This auction was very fast paced, so he ran over, just in time for the final bid. I could here the auctioneer say moving on now, who will start us out, gime 400, do I have 400….. Tom was silent for a moment. I said “Tom, can you here me”? This auction was out in farmland with very bad cell service. I said again “Tom, you still with me….Did you get a bid in on time". He said "yep, but I am not sure your going to like it". I thought, oh know, what have I just bought!! I just had him bid way too much for junk or they were really nice and I did not get them. So, good news, when my friend finally spoke up and said “you got them”. I said “them, you had high bid for ONE and took both”? He just said “Yep”. Toms not much for words. He then just said “160”. This is how he has fun, I guess. He finally explains that he got the first one for $80 and had choice for the second one!! So, $80 for the first M416 trailer!!! AND $80 for the second trailer!!
Just thought I would share the great day I had!! I am going over tomorrow to pick them up. I hope they are in ok shape. For $80, not sure what to expect??? I am not even sure what I will do with them. I have a M 116A2 tool trailer already. I will update later today (Sunday). I am going to try to go to sleep!!
