If you ever won an online bid for military surplus gear, were you satisfied?

The military offers alot of its surplus gear to the highest bidder in online auction sites. If you ever bid and won an item, what was that experience like? Did you get a good deal or ripped off? What did you win? Would you recommend similar auction sites to others?

The moment I find out an MRAP is up for auction to the general public (It will never happen, I am sure), I am all over that like white on rice.

I have purchased a M934A 5 ton truck in excellent condition, a M1008 CUCV pickup that I've spent five times the purchase price to make a daily driver. I have also scored a $4000 brand new transmission that was listed as a pallet of scrap. All I can say is buyer beware, do not trust DRMO condition codes, view the lots in person. Bid away and pay attention to the site rules.

Put me down for $50 if an OH-58D pops up on the grid.
