Is is legal to sell a US Military MRE? Why are they selling on Amazon?

Shhhhh. :) Several years ago, there was some brouha from the DOJ trying to crack down on re-sale of real MREs online. They claimed the flameless heater portion was bad for parcel delivery and mumble-mumble, cough *securityterrorismhrmmhrmm* and for awhile, MRE re-sellers could not use the USPS to deliver them to customers (but FedEx and UPS delivered them fine). Some resellers just took out the flameless heater, and sold them anyway. Hurricane Katrina saw the National Guard busting out MREs from their armories, and sure enough thousands of unauthorized civilians were enjoying milspec MREs (with heaters!) and the government seemed to ease-off their efforts to control MRE resale, after that. Our tax dollars contributed to the creation and subsequent evolution of MREs, so I don't feel at all bad about carrying around a gov-issue MRE in my backpack for food-just-in-case. The recent show "doomsday preppers" has caused a resurgence or fad for people to stock up on shelf stable emergency provisions, and who wouldn't want the "real deal" MREs over the (generally) inferior MREs for civvies? Although I can't name one off the top of my head, if you go to the mreinfo dot com site, you will find that some of the same packaging plants that manufacture milspec MREs, produce the civilian versions. The wrappings are nearly identical in form factor and color and labeling font, just the US Gov seal is missing, along with the warning that the package is government property, and not for resale. Your best buy for real MREs is ebay. Everything you ever wanted to know about MREs (including the legality of resale) can be found at MREinfo dot com. It may be that "officially", MREs are not for resale, but that does not stop them from being resold, and the DOJ has not been cracking down as hard in recent years, as they were, when ebay first went online. If you get the real ones, just enjoy it, and keep it to yourself. :)

Maybe someone has a used one. Some people sell their items themselves on Amazon.

Provided you purchase from an authorized seller... check their web site. Amazon is an authorized retailer.

I don't sell anything. This was a review of an extension tube I bought on Amazon. It required no other parts. Pull out retaining ring, screw on extension, replace retaining ring with spring under pressure. Done.I was told by my local gun shop that this extension was no longer legal and he could not order. Checked Amazon and bingo there is was, factory part - kinda pricy though.

The item is genuine US Military but it had been previously issued. Some are new that are sold but the condition is so good it is like new for a great deal less money. Being prior service, this is what I am used to so I am very happy with the one that I purchased.

It's being sold by a marketplace dealer, but the stock is being stored and shipped by Amazon. I've bought plenty of high-end knives through Amazon, and never had a problem. The specs are all correct, the model numbers are right, and the price is about where you'd expect; I purchased mine through Amazon.ca, but I'd have no concerns about buying it here. In the slight chance there is a problem, you can always send it back for a full refund.

Makhail , I'm not selling anything. If you're buying this through Amazon I urge you to ask them your question, whatever it is.

If it says sold by Amazon, and says new you should be okay. Sometimes these things are on special. Right now, that doesn't seem to be the case (I just checked the price).

If you buy from Amazon itself, it's USA, but you should be a bit more careful if it's purchased through a 3rd party vendor. You can always call to verify.

No. The reason why it's overpriced on Amazon is that it's a model that's supposed to be exclusive to another retail chain (I don't know if they allow us to name it here but let's say it's America's largest retail chain). You can get it there for twenty dollars. So what some third party opportunists do is they buy it from that other place, and sell it here at a marked up price for people who don't have a branch of that chain nearby (or people who don't know any better). It's a fine blaster; it's just that it's not worth more than $20.

If this is a U.S. military contract or built to U. S. specs, a lot of people would like to purchase them. Otherwise forget it.

9140 is a professional model to be sold in a dental office. It is against Amazon rules for anyone to sell this model. That was banned last year. You should report this seller for breaking the rules and trying to take advantage of buyers

My parents purchased the Cefaly through an unaffiliated distributer in Canada. It cost a little bit more, but I've got a working device at home. Recently, I saw the device for sale on Amazon. If you can't find it, then they must've taken it down. I'm not sure that it is legal to sell in the US yet. It works really well for me, so I hope you can find one.

If you visit http://www.bennyemakeup.com/Catalog_Request.htm , the bottom states "Ben Nye prohibits sale of our products on third party websites, including Amazon and Ebay." I would question if this Amazon item is the real thing.

I am not sure they sell them, it is cheaper to buy the whole thing. I have a new one that I never used, make me an offer.

No.Something you will find on AMAZON .. since now anyone can sell anything, most likely the vendor is someone trying to make a buck or two .. in this case like $60. Buyer beware -- make sure you are ordering from AMAZON or a reputable dealer. Just saying ...PS this is not an AMAZON issue .. it's the scruples of the people selling.
