You'd probably do well at game fairs too. Im wearing 3/4 combat shorts now, nothing more comfortable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichyWales 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I had a pair of the german parra boots, tough as nails Wish I could get hi-tec magnums cheaper, fricken awesome boots (£45-£100) but should be able to get british issue for nowt. Anyways theres always a call for this sorta stuff, I can only get boots, trousers, shirts and jackets, sometimes water proofs if lucky but its pot luck whats being chucked out at the RAF stores. Wouldn't say you'd have a problem selling this stuff tho chunk, theres always fleebay too, sell 24/7 on there. Hit the markets on weekends and should do well. Could set up a website to sell it, I quit my job as a profesional web developer about 2 months ago btw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayjay 264 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 i wear army surplus clothing more than i wear any other clothing,always seem to be in it, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rickyspringer 15 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 definitely a market for it, the main thing is not to be expensive with it, places are selling it for far too much money, I love the stuff mate, would buy more, I just get all my mates in the forces to bring me some back when they are home...
