51 pallets!! The lens stock is probably glass. I used to buy alot of govt. surplus years ago from Mechanicsburg. Once got a 40 ft truck full of semi-finished glass bifocals. Also still have 68,000 military frame fronts (down from 120,000). Anyone have temples!! I could tell you surplus stories you would'nt believe. Good luck bidding just inspect it first.

Walleye,

You should only have about 67, 998 frame fronts. Remember, you sent me 2.:shiner:

I have purchase over 50 lots in the last 4 years. You can get some great deals, but be prepared to take a (major) hit in some instances. Get to know the rating systems. A $500 deal may take $2,000 to make it servicable.

Also, make sure you have p/u agents in place prior to bidding. If you can't pick up in allotted times, you lose.

Make sure to take ALL fees into consideration before bidding.

Hi,

I heard a lot of those items are not thoroughly inspected so even their ratings is half accurate. Be careful because you buy it as is without any returns!

**Johns** · 05-23-2006, 08:44 PM

Ratings? How about the descriptions ? I bought a "phoroptor" that turned out to be a complete lane. On the other hand, I bought a "lensometer" that turned out to be 2 radiuscopes that they were parting out. Many times, they are miscategorized, or the person listing it does not work in that department, and has no clue what they are listing.
