For quite some time I have been working with our Yahoo store software to figure out how to offer free shipping on Maxpedition Gear, just like we do on eBay. I still don't know how to make it work properly, but I did have a brainstorm this afternoon. I set the Maxpedition gear to weigh nothing, then set the calculator to charge $0 for everything that weighs nothing, and *tada* effective free shipping on Maxpedition Gear. Enjoy!

Foliage Green Maxpedition coming soon
We are still working on purchasing another product line. In the meantime, we are ordering Maxpedition Gear's new color: foliage green. This dark grey/green is the perfect compliment to ACU camouflage wear and pretty stylish on its own.

The Maxpedition order is here! All items are up for sale in the store. The gear looks really nice. Alex will take the Monsoon Gearslinger on his upcoming trip to France and write a review to be posted here.
In the meantime, I am finishing up the SIGG order for placement on Monday next week. If you have any specific requests, speak up now.

Exciting news! Our maxpedition order has shipped and will be listed for sale early next week.
And, we just contacted the company SIGG to carry their ultra-durable, eco-friendly aluminum water bottles. More details coming on that soon too.

The surplus business is interesting in that there is a constantly rotating stock. It is tricky to manage and hard to grow when our customers get interested in a product, we sell out, and then can't find anymore. We also are struggling to correctly provide size and condition information because every item is different.
The past few weeks we have been busy working on our next business move: offering a line of current retail products. We looked for something that would cross over with our current military audience but move towards a retail niche that interests us more. We thought of outdoor/hiking gear and then started looking for a small manufacturer. Talks with customers and consultants in the military led us to Maxpedition Hard-Use Gear. They authorized us as a dealer earlier this week. Soon we will place our first order. Do you want us to carry a Maxpedition product you love? Comment or send an email.
