"According to the GovPlanet listings, in October alone the U.S. government made a total of $115,910 from the metal fencing tubes, which measure 28 feet long and are typically anchored into the ground with concrete. The latest four lots, sold on October 4, saw prices ranging from $25,700 to $32,505.Across September, it recouped $455,100 from numerous lots of different quantities which attracted a range of winning bids. Previous estimates suggest it made around half a million dollars from the sales in August, with listings dating further back in the year.
A USACE spokesperson previously told Newsweek that the materials were being disposed of "in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation."
"USACE has already transferred approximately $154 million worth of the roughly $260 million of bollard panels and other materials in accordance with standard excess property disposition procedures," a spokesperson said at the time. "USACE stands ready to implement a decision regarding disposition of the remaining materials."

I had just finished reading some frantic MSM articles claiming Trump is lying about the sale of border wall panels and then came across last year's article by Newsweek, a pro Biden outlet, seemingly refuting the MSM 'narrative'. I have little idea what the truth is, but Trump knows and I'm glad he halted the sale. Note back when Biden wanted money, the price of materials was higher. Now there's a 'fire sale' to get rid of it.
They then auction off the wall panels. for pennies on the dollar. for scrap
.Anyone , or any company , that gets involved in trying to buy or make off with any portion of wall materials should be both sued and blacklisted from ever having any business with the FedGov again. Also, promise that the IRS will be directed to thoroughly audit them.
Play by the Dem rules.
The tax payer will be paying many millions to replace it.
I want to know who bought it and why. It would foolish to scrap it when odds are that the fed/gov will need to buy it back.
Follow the money and we will find the source of the scam.
“The tax payer will be paying many millions to replace it.”
And in the long run saving billions for many different reasons.....not to mention mitigating a health crisis created by illegal immigrants introducing a myriad of diseases into the country the media won’t report on.
“”I want to know who bought it and why.””
I do too and I’ve not been able to come up with anything.
Maybe someone who will turn around and sell it back to the government when President Trump starts to rebuild it? That would be a hoot!
Nothing would surprise me!!!
p
Take it out of Joe’s pension.
The corrupt government of Joe my-Butts-Been-Wiped Biden didn’t “make” money! They LOST money. Author is a shill for Joe MBBW Biden.
Some could have been patriots preparing to return the materials as soon as we have a real president again.
And now it’s up to Dementia Joe to sell off our steel company to the Japanese in 12 days. This will be his last stake driven into the American people’s heart before exiting!
Biden's the worst President the country has ever had. That said, this is a new even for him.
Since PedoJoe is Obamatollah's puppet & the latter's 3rd term, it's more accurate to state Obamatollah is the worst President...which we all have known since his 2008's infamous quote of "transforming America".
Biden’s presidency is what Obama’s would have looked like if he had been unencumbered with the prospect of re-election.
“$260 million of bollard panels and other materials in accordance with standard excess property disposition procedures” a spokesperson said at the time. “standard excess property disposition procedures”. What in the hell is that?
