I will be selling off a majority of my army and replacing it with goods from my storefront, Israeli Arms Storefront.
http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=371044
Therefore I have decided to sell the following items. They will be sold in groups, all the planes together, all the ships together and all the tanks together. First up, the planes, highest bidder gets them.

43 F22-A
45 MIG-29
400 Eurofighters
10 C-5
30 F-35 JSF
180 F-14
360 F/A-18
50 B-1 Stealth
74 B-2 Stealth
50 B52

All offers will be considered (except for enemies) and the highest bidder will take it. Only offer within your defence budget. Thank you.

I'd hope so. None of the planes cost 151 Bn I can promise that. Also, they're Israeli, so they're better than these planes!

07-11-2004, 12:48
So, we have 1.2 trillion. If any of the competitors want to check his defence budget to make sure that thats his actual budget then feel free. So far 1.2 trillion. Who wants to make me even richer??:)

Chellis will Produce the following for 300b dollars, for anyone that wants them. The bids on here were incredibly high for what seemed to be not even brand new aircraft. We will take as many orders as asked, or even multiples of it. However, if we get many orders, we may have to spend some time to step up production(and we will lower the prices to make up for the extra time).

45 F22-A
45 MIG-29
400 Eurofighters
10 C-5
30 F-35 JSF
180 F-14
360 F/A-18

To anyone that was going to bid over 1t dollars on these, you can get three or more times as many aircraft!
