The Las Vegas MKVII surplus man...

Post by IndianaJames »

Anyone remember this guys name / email, web adress? I will be going down to Vegas next month, and will have a couple extra days. Thought I might take one and stop buy this guys establishment, and try to talk him into lowering his price - But, I dont remember any of his info?

IJ,
When the news broke about this guy in Las Vegas, I was there. I called the guy when the price was about $50 and then as you know it went slowly up to $100. Anyway, I asked him since I was in town, if it was alright to stop by, and pickup the bag without worrying about shipping. He was not agreeable to that. It was strange, he did not want me stopping by. Go figure?

Why not? Do you think he just operates out of his home and didn't want anyone coming by? Odd.....

Hmmmm.... :? I since thought he had lowered it back down to about $70. And now that you mention it I do remember you posting about how you tried to stop by. But no one remembers his info? Maybe its just a futile attempt! :evil: It just ***** knowing this guy has a crate full of those bags just sitting there!

I think I may have made an assumption. I thought that ddchristi was this Las Vegas guy. They're different? :oops: :roll: I've got to start having un-assuming early mornings.

LOL! :lol: Im pretty sure these arent the same guy, for one, the ddicristi fellow lives in the midwest, and two the guy already has big stockpile of bags that he got from england for cheep, so I dont think he would be bidding $70 and $100 on these bags. I am suprised the actual Las Vegas guy isnt selling them on ebay though!

A vast storehouse of nothing but crates of MKVII and VI bags.
Things that make you go Hmmm...
It would be an homage to the end of Raiders though...
