Military surplus

Military surplus are goods, usually matériel, that are sold or otherwise disposed of when no longer needed by the military. Entrepreneurs often buy these goods and resell them at surplus stores. Military surplus rarely includes weapons or munitions, though they are occasionally found in such stores. Usually the goods sold by the military are clothing, equipment, and tools of a generally useful nature. Also, embroidered patches, name tags, and other items that can be used with a military uniform. Occasionally, vehicles will be sold as well (jeeps, trucks, etc.).

Demand for such items comes from various collectors, survivalists, and fans of airsoft guns and paintball.
