buying real gear at cheap prices
« on: January 12, 2006, 12:13:05 AM »
Hey i dont know if you have a flea market in AZ but in CO i go to a flea market every sunday. I always go to the surplus store. The surplus store sells equipment used in real wars (quality is great) for such a low price. I bought my woodland heavy winter jacket there for $20.  This is pretty much the same principle of your army surplus store but i wanted to know some of the prices you guys pay for your woodland pants,jackets, and other army related items.


Thanks, I appreciate it.

Vince, you payed too much!

I got my DCUs for $160.00 for the shirt and trousers!

http://www.paracletearmor.com has a GREAT surplus store!

edit:  I get all my other sh*t for $FREE.99.  All I had to do was pee in a cup and sign something.  It's pretty cool! 8)
