As some of you already know, I recently purchased the entire inventory from Young's Army and Navy Surplus in Grand Rapids Michigan. They closed their store last October and put everything in storage with the original intention of possibly opening another store in Texas, where the owner moved. The owner recently decided against opening another store and decided to sell everything. It took some time to move it all, and I had to purchase a semi trailer to store it since the warehouse is already pretty much full. It fills a 53' semi trailer from front to back about 5' deep.
There is a bunch of great inventory in this buyout. With my busy schedule and gun shows every weekend, it will probably take me the rest of the year to make my way through this massive pile of surplus. I'll try to start getting some of the new items in the store soon, but we have limited space in the retail store as well. I'm planning to reorganize the store and possibly increase the square footage in the future as well. It will take time, but hopefully over the next year or two we will have a bunch of new items in the store!
Just a few of the items that I know of so far:
Over 1,000 sets of BDUs, ACUs, Multicam, Digital, ATACS and Tactical uniforms
Hundreds of pairs of various types of combat boots
Hats, patrol caps, boonie hats, tactical caps, helmets, etc
Firearm magazines
Cold weather coats, hats, pants, boots, etc
backpacks, duffel bags, tool bags, medical bags (many different types, sizes and colors)
dozens of different sizes of pouches in different types and color patterns
wool blankets
pins, medals, ribbons and various other dress uniform items
Gore-Tex items
Flight jackets
dozens of sleep systems with the Gore-Tex cover
Pea coats
Field desks
Foot lockers
Bullet proof vests and plates
Bullet proof entry shields (the kind SWAT teams use with the bullet proof Plexiglas window)
gas masks
holsters
boxes and boxes of knives
dozens of nun-chucks, several different types
a barrel full of swords
Plus much, much more!
I just started going through this stuff today. I haven't even scratched the surface yet. I never know what I will find with each box I open!
If anyone is looking for something specific that I don't already have in the store, let me know and I'll keep my eyes open as I make my way through this stuff!
