Selling my long-term food storage

[Peanut]

I hope you find a good way forward from here. I'm in the same boat as others. My round trip expenses could run $800, if nothing went wrong.

Before I'd sell it... call a friend, put in storage somewhere.

There and back again.

The days of me driving 13 hrs in a day are behind me. 6.5 hrs ok.

You know, around here you can get what they call a "flea market trailer" for around a grand, it holds as much as a UPS truck.

I have shipped items by taking them to businesses such as these. Possibly a buyer could have a uber or some other driver service stop by and pickup the item and take it to the UPS type shipping center where they do all the packaging etc.

So sorry you're going through this mess, @Tortminder. Wishing you an easy, simple break (although if having to sell all your stuff is part of the process, sounds like that might be a challenge.... )

And like so many others, wish I were closer and would gladly try to lighten your load.

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts. The break may not be so easy as she is now talking about retaining counsel instead of doing this by agreement. If so, it will make it a contested action, cost me more in attorney's fees and, in the end, result in less for each of us. God must love stupid people...he made so many of them.
Once again, thanks for the good thoughts. It helps lighten the mental/psychic load.

I have connected with a local prepper group and have received tremendous help in completing the inventory of food & equipment, (it's about 95% complete). I am hopeful to have it sold by the end of July. I will keep y'all posted.
Thanks for all your kind words and advice.

[Tortminder]

For those who are interested, here is the raw inventory. It is in excel format.

 

[Magus]

Can you do a PDF? or .txt?
If we can work out a shipping arrangement I might have a buyer for some of the food.

 

[Tortminder]

The attachment on the original was a .pdf.

 

[Magus]

Nice supply. I don't see any prices on the food items or dates though.
What is the general pack date on your mountain house foods? As I said,
maybe we could do something by Friday? If not "we" then ME.

Is there anything you're looking for?

 

[Tortminder]

Average pack date on MH is 2016. Some rice, beans, wheat goes back to 2009. Getting some "nibbles" and a possible bulk buyer to let me know this weekend.
House goes on the market 7/25/22.

I'll keep the group posted on progress.

How did I miss this? I bought a damn canopy today! If you have anything left you want to sell pm me.

The stuff has been liquidated. I have been i\under medical care for the past 5 weeks due to fracturing my hip. Thanks to all who helped so much in getting this done.

Get the other stuff out of the way and you can start stock piling again.

I'm sorry for you not having support during your medical issues! Guess you will be stronger going through this without the woman you married!!! Be well!!

 

[goshengirl]

Wishing you well, @Tortminder. It may not seem like it now, but you WILL get to the other side of this mess.

 

[Tortminder]

I am being released from rehab Thursday and had to rent a condo for 22 days until my apartment is ready. This will be an (expensive) adventure to say the least but I will adapt, overcome and survive. Thanks to all for their assistance , kind words and prayers.

My wife has decided she wants a divorce. I must sell the house and liquidate my survival stuff and long-term food storage.
I am located in Hollister MO and have quite a selection of #10 long-term freeze dried foods as well as bulk rice, black beans and hard red wheat.
All sold material must be picked up in Hollister MO, (no delivery/shipping).
I paid an average of $20 per can on the meat products/ around $15 per can on the rest. I certainly don't expect to recoup my investment, but I will not give the stuff away for pennies.
There will also be camping/survival equipment in following postings.
Wise persons prepare, (luckily I am in my later 70's so not so much of a future).
See pictures.
