That's a shame, I've had some good deals off them over the years.

That was probably the issue. Last email I had from them they were knocking out some high end military bergans for a LOT less than other suppliers. You have to be big to take less profit on a through flow basis and they were only small.

Yup agreed, it's the nature of the beast when you dabble in ecommerce, unless your prices are competitive you're not gonna get a look in. You'll get a few faithful customers who standby them but the majority of sales will come through search results.

That really is a shame - I too had some good bargains there

That's sad to hear. I've had quite a bit of stuff from them over the years, and they were often my first port-of-call.

RVops seems to have reappeared, but as a slightly different beast; now it's "novelty island ltd t/a rvops.co.uk" based in South Ockendon. Here's the link. It still sells military stuff. I haven't used the company in its new guise.

Just reading through the link in the OP; seems that the name has been bought by another company.

Surprised to get email from them, they did a fast service which gave me what i wanted. Nice helpful guys with great youtube vids.

There is a discussion about this on the ARmy Rumor Service website, the new owners are nothing to do with the original owner.
