Ahh, too bad. I would have paid 4 times the price. :)

Though, if you do offer any packages of Army aviation or armored assests, we are interested.

Chellis is very happy it won the auction, and is sending the money to santa monico immediatly.

Of course, the weapons are planned to be sold at about ten fold price on the open market, more or less for different items.

OOC: I don't blame you! heh... My nation doesn't spend alot of money, so sometimes we need to participate in these lil' auctions!
Triancia

Well, 350K for a small load of eastern Bloc weaponry is a bit excessive. I'm sure Triancia's factories could produce them in better quality for a lower price. :)
