The earlier pictures are .029 keypunches which look to be in great
conditions. The next to last picture looks like a .026 keypunch but
seems to have suffered a bit, but still good for spares. If only they
weren't the wrong side of the Atlantic or cost a bit less to ship. Are
they really saying the keypunches only cost them 100 dollars each new
(400 for 4 and 200 for 2)?

That looks like the kind of keypunch we had at the University of
Delaware
around 1979/1980. I remember using them to duplicate punched cards
just
for the purpose of making confetti :).

Sometimes those numbers can be the actual original cost.. More commonly they are simply
random amounts that people plug in the forms when the items get processed for turn-in.
the real issue with bidding on this would be the fact that the lot is 5000lbs and 15
triwall pallets

For more military-like items, they are actual values. The government
has supply catalogs that are nothing more than huge price lists, down
to nuts and bolts for a few cents each.
