Not strictly bought today but here are three things I picked up from the bay in the last two weeks.
First up a retro German pack. I bought it for £15.90 delivered as a travelling pack. My old one had given up the ghost. It's surprisingly well made.Leather straps good stitching, waterproof bottom and top. Definitely big enough for an overnighter.
Next up a Rogue trekker hat bought for 12.99 delivered. This was bought on a whim but I'm well chuffed.
Lastly a Buffalo shirt size 48 bought for £14.51. Really pleased with this. It's hardly been worn. I think the chap was probably gutted.
Really chuffed with all three.

Recieved a jack wolfskin Iceland 3 in 1 jacket today.
I thought my north face evolution 3 in 1 was good value (£70 from North face outlet in Orlando last year) but this is far far superior & only £66 from Amazon!

Sadly not it was a one off from Ebay. I've not seen one since. As there is no name on it I would imagine it's from China.

British army DPM Ripstop Army combat soldier 95 trousers... new unissued... from Ayr Army store £12.99...
hi Stevie It depends what you'r after I suppose, his prices don't seem too bad, I'm well chuffed with my dpm trousers bargain but probably "a diamond amongst the rough" if you've been in a good surplus store then No its a bit pish... its a relatively small shop with around 3/4 devoted to cloths mostly grade 1.. He says he gets pot luck bundles in... some Mil-Com, web-tex stuff. A few gems maybe but few & far between, any kit that he has looks well used, half dozen Ausi & German mess tins etc no real what I would term "good stuff" but if I'm honest I probably rate it as a bit Pants really... have a look here
http://www.ayrsurplus.com/ this pretty much sums up his entire stock. really...

I have a store near me in Lanark. Dampness in it is unreal. All the gear reeks.
When they turn on the fire in the cold dank place you get attacked by hundreds of bluebottles. Dont get me wrong, they have everything you could think of.
Though I'm starting to think the shop might be a front for other nefarious purposes, because i cant see why they would let this place be as rundown and stinky as it is. It's so stuffed full of gear you cant move in the place. I'm not exaggerating here. I mean, you can not move up the aisles without tripping over or having to brush stuff aside. Piles of stuff piled on stuff from god knows how long ago. Unreal.
Obviously they also sell maggots for the fishing. I get the creeps just going into the dark hole. Shame really because this could be a gold mine if the stuff was stored properly. and i'm talking tons and tons of military stuff. Leather and Canvas rucksacks, they have plenty, It just freaks me out the poor conditions they keep the stuff in.
if ye want freaked out, go visit.

well compared to that, the one in Ayr is a palace... small but tidy there were jaw sticks burning on the counter the floor was bare wood & clean the store is at the end of an ally-way in the rafters above an random premises un known to me, doesn't smell unpleasent at all.
Just got myself a Highlander forces 88L DPM
I wanted something in-between my 44L and 120L, searched the Bay and got one brand new, never used for £12.00 delivered to the door from the seller, result I think
