This weekend was fanastic....
I went to a huge antique show which occurs few times a year because it was on the way to RI. Funny, I planned on visiting my relatives who are living in RI. The night before my departing, my buddy told me about this show and I found out it is right middle of my way so I went in early morning. I found a ton of Vietnam era items, not much of OEF/OIF items. Then in RI, my aunt told me that there is a surplus store nearby so I decided to go with doubts. I imagine that this store would carry crapload of knock-offs or useless european stuff. I was wrong! It is a old school store. So full of good stuff such as Dummy AT-4 for training, spent LAW, TONs of Kevlar helmets, gas masks, DCUs, MARPATs, few vests, RDF shirts, old BDUs, etc.... My cousin and I bought a lot of DCUs. We got ALL of patched Army ones. There's few of Air Force DCUs but eh. Then I found an ACU IOTV body armor vest with two SAPI plates that I just had to get it because it's not flooding the market yet because it's still in use, also for a killer deal. I talked the owner into lowering the price to $160.
This store's location is perfect because right next to it is Army recuritment center. I figure that some of soldiers probably went in the office for something and there's a store next to it so they sold their old stuff there.
That day, my cousin officially became a collector. I just taught him how to post on the forum.
I plan to post my items in the proper sections when I get to home where my familiar computer is at.
