Notes from JWR:
The high bid in the SurvivalBlog
Benefit Auction is now at $960. The auction is for a
large mixed lot that includes:
A.) 15 brand new 30 round M16/M4/AR-15 magazines from JWR's
personal collection. These include four scarce and desirable brand new HK steel "Maritime
Finish" magazines, and 11 new USGI alloy magazines made by Center Industries.
(Note that most of these were made during the 1994-2004 Federal ban, most of
them have restriction markings, but those became null and void after the ban
sunsetted.) Even if you don't own an AR-15,
these magazines are great to keep on hand for barter. (Note: If
you live in a state where full capacity magazines are banned, then you must
choose to: refrain from bidding, or designate a recipient
in an unrestricted state, or re-donate the magazines for a
subsequent auction.) In today's frenzied market, these magazines have a
retail value of at least $460..
B.) A NukAlert radiation
detector donated by at KI4U.com (a
$160 retail value).
C.) An assortment of loose leaf teas, a box of Bellagio hot chocolate (25
individual packs), and your choice of $50 worth of ground or whole bean roasted
coffee. (A combined retail value of more than $150), all courtesy of CMeBrew.com.
D.) A case of 24 cans of canned
storage butter, courtesy of Ready
Made Resources (a $110 retail value).
E.) A carton of 10
rolls of Hydrion fuel test strips, (with a retail value of $85), donated
by UR-2B-Prepared.com.
F.) "Alone
in the Wilderness" book and 2 DVD Value Set on the life of Richard
Proenneke (a retail value of $51.95) courtesy of Camping
Survival.com
G.) An EVAC
Easy Roll Stretcher kit, (a retail value of $49.95), donated by FrostCPR.com.
