It may be here some place, but a group of us are curious about the money involved in this shipment.

If anyone knows, please advise.

The Bangkok Post said "about 600 million Baht" which is about 18 million USD for the arms/weapons. Is this correct?

We are curious about the "cost" and the "retail" and the typical question, is it F.O.B. or C.O.D. etc.. What sort of margins etc.?

How much is the aircraft worth?

Thank you in advance and Happy Holidays

Did a quick search and not finding the particulars. All the stories are based on Thai estimates. I'm curious and involved in a group discussion where nobody knows the facts. Thanks again for any "inside" information not based on Thai newspapers and quotes of Thai officials. Follow the money, can reveal many things in life.

No idea what the legit or black market price of the arms would be, but I don't think a military surplus Il-76M that burns fuel like it's going out of fashion will fetch very much. In fact it's probably best scrapped and made into aluminium saucepans.

I estimate the total value to be approximately 550 billion baht and 50 satang according to my beer bar special forces expat contacts.

I don't think anyone knows the value, there's been no published inventroy of the cargo yet - has there?

Now Bruce don't you start sniffing around for a cut of the action, that was all dived up 2 minutes after landing. If curious you could check for an anusual peak in Mercedes registrations.

How DARE they not publish the inventory list on the Thai Visa forum instead of giving it over to the Americans

What we need to know is how many flights carrying arms through Thailand has this plane and crew made, and how have they got away with it in the past.

As if I didn't know.
