"Save up for" Abrams ": Polish readers comment on the sale of decommissioned equipment by the military via the Internet

The Polish military regularly sell their equipment over the Internet for a song. According to the Agency for Military Property (AMW), you can find very lucrative offers.

It is reported by the Polish portal money.pl.

AMW sells decommissioned military property through online auctions. Sometimes these are uniforms, sometimes tents, sometimes military hats or binoculars. Here you can also buy trucks, ATVs, minibuses and army and ordinary cars. It even happens that the military sells premium cars. For example, this year the Audi A6 was put up for auction.

According to the Polish media, referring to the press secretary of AMW Maria Weber, the initial price of such equipment starts from 1,2 thousand zlotys, or less than 23 thousand rubles. If you're lucky, you can buy a bus for 9,5 thousand zlotys (180 thousand rubles) or a Fiat Punto for 1,5 thousand zlotys (28,5 thousand rubles). And the AMW branch recently sold a 2006 Ford Focus for 7,2 thousand zlotys (137 thousand rubles).

Special equipment is also in great demand. For example, a Jelcz 315 fire engine was recently sold for 10 thousand zlotys (190 thousand rubles). Tractors are also well accepted, which are then used in agriculture.

They are saving up for the Abrams ...

- joked in a commentary to an article in one of the Polish readers.

If so collected on Tanks, then those should be in the same condition

Normal practice.

To sell something you don't need, you need to buy something you don't need.
And we have no money.

And here:

To buy something you don't need, you need to sell something you don't need.
And then there is no money.

As I said recently, a nation of traders. It's "buy and sell" in their blood

No, the Poles are not hucksters.
Some of them are ambitious to the point of inadequacy. They always have such in their government.
There are Russophobes. Such are now in the government.
But most are quite adequate. And many also look after the cemeteries of Soviet soldiers. But they are NOT in government.
And there are no hucksters.

That is, you have never heard of sales and auctions held from the stocks of the Russian Army?
And they have been going for a couple of decades ...
Are we a nation of traders?

Well, the military of different armies often sell surplus and illiquid assets. In Ukraine, before the war, it was possible to buy a demilitarized BRDM-2 - one such stood along with a field kitchen on Leningradskaya Square in Kiev, near the military center. On the other, in those days, Klitschko cut, - the election campaign. Then he was not yet a measure. I read how, under the guise of the Chechen campaigns, Russian officers wrote off and sold new trucks from storage. They wrote for example: "a grenade hit the front axle." This is what I quote.

Ford Focus 2006 release for 7,2 thousand zlotys (137 thousand rubles).

What is the article about? Focus on Avito costs so much ... 2006 is even cheaper.

And during the 2008 Olympics, the horses removed their complexes from the database and gave them to Georgia WITHOUT CHARGE "to fight the aggressor." Sukashvili chewed on his tie - THIS is yet to come ...

Everything is better than it will rot or rust, or the rodents will "chase". The main thing is to update for what "shishi"

[Pivot]

Well done, it doesn't work like that with us, first they take the first ones from the trough.

[out of habit]

Those that are the first with us hardly need used tractors.

Their relatives need them, they buy them in one lot for 3 rubles for an interest-free loan and then sell them at market value.

Selling their junk to buy an American one. Did they have enough of the proceeds from their own to buy junk from the stars ???

What is interesting about these auctions, people generally do not know. There are buyers of their own. Just like ours, we have budgetary organizations that sell equipment, equipment, good furniture, at ridiculous prices. Cars can be taken for 100k rubles. Only they don't write about it anywhere, and buyers are usually the relatives of bureaucrats.

Inspired. In the early 90s, he came to the South to his father's house, on vacation. The neighbor has an APC! I asked him how he got here. The answer is - I bought it for a "penny" ... I ask ..... Why? The answer is "I don't know, but cool in front of the boys." Life has shown how good it is that we scratched out from the 90s.
But many do not understand this even today, and the young do not know this at all, unfortunately. Here they are used as "bulk".

[Burbulator]

This is normal practice for armies.
No sarcasm needed.

There is a rumor that they will start selling slaves they do not need from the plantations. Instead of cherries and cherries, they decided to plant pineapples and bananas. For this, specialists from other countries are needed, and not those who are neither bee, nor mee, nor kukuriku.

[Bradley]

Someone will simply read: "" They are saving up for "Abrams": "

And someone: "The Polish military regularly sell their equipment over the Internet for a pittance."

And only one of them will correctly understand the news.

Interesting topic.
I watch the Iron Boys program on Discovery, where the owner of the warehouse buys up the decommissioned NATO equipment, makes pre-sale preparation, and sells it.
There are several videos on YouTube, take a look.
What is not there, by the way, the Germans are already running to pick up army pickups.

[Zaurbek]

Such auctions are also held in the Russian Federation ..... UPALs, Zil131, Gaz66 are being sold. From storage. I don’t know if they put back on STORAGE?
