Fieldcraft WTF? Is camo worth this much?

Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

That looks sketchy. I dont know why it is priced so high. The pictures in it look like MARPAT to me, not multicam. I cant comprehend why anybody would pay that much for it. It can be found much cheaper. No, its way over priced in my opinion.
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

There are some crazy people on there. Now we watch to see if anyone bids. Then we will know who the stupid people are!

Olathe....I think I'd be hitting up the Bass Pro if I were you. Of course maybe it would be worth the extra drive to Cabela's.

I'd say the seller is a genius. $1000 for $300 worth of gear? I'd say the 7 bidders are the idiots. Wow.
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

my guess is there's some hidden story there that the bidders are aware of, meaning dont think the auction is REALLY for a shirt and pants, know what I'm sayin, that'd be my take

Secret DEVGRU magical SEAL dust that makes you a bonified heart stopping kicker of names and taker of ass? Yeah, my panties are all wet thinking about it.

Mall ninja BS. Like another set I saw of "Genuine navy seal" experimental uniforms. The size was small regular. Really? Small Regular?

Maybe some "stolen valor" type who wants to hang them on his coat rack so he can brag to the strippers he's paying to bang about the secret mission last week he can't talk about. Hitler's undies aren't worth a grand and they contain historical shit (pun intended).

Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

It's that new reflective camo... Kinda like the stuff from "007: Die Another Day" except this shit isn't just invisible, it actually reflects bullets back at the shooters. Damn, I wish I had some of this stuff...

Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

I have some beach front property in the middle of the desert that I am willing to sale you if you buy would be willing to buy that. I don't see how camo can be worth that.

Nah, no fire from my position. But I think now you may have your tin-foil on a bit tight. DEVGRU pants as code for narc? Have you been watching CSI Miami? I think it is a case of chronic dumbass, as opposed to dumbass trying to get a case of chronic.
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

Hell, he will find some clown with more dollars than sense (or is it cents?) that will buy these based solely on the price. You see, everyone knows that multicam is the shit, and if "regular" pants are going to cost me a couple hundred bucks, these must be 5-times as good.

Free market, baby! I say if the buyer is that dumb, he doesn't deserve to have the $1,000 anyway.
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

wouldnt be the first time items on Ebay or Craig's list were not really the items bein sold, just an alterior idea since I just can't fathom someone bein so retarded to buy 1,000 dollar multicams

my Tinfoil hat fits right fine thank you very much, see if I cruise Sante Fe anymore wearing it!

Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

It's just like when the guy was selling the French Battle Flag (white cloth tied to a stick) and the jokers bid it up to $79,000 or something like that. I'm sure it's just a few guys having a laugh at a lame sellers expense.

Except Spider Monkey boy. He was cool.

Good lord, I couldn't make it through half of the first video. Do these people collect GI Joes too? I want to punch that dude in the face- hard.
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

i've been following the 'AOR1' stuff on ebay. i recently saw what i thought was a standard desert marpat uniform selling for over 900 bucks. it was the AOR1 pattern.

my limited understanding of this phenomenon is NSW came up with a super slight variation on the desert marpat pattern. to the casual observer its indistinguishable. navy seals, etc have fielded it, air softers found out about it and are going nuts! apparently its only available in super limited quantities. im sure people are trying to pass off marpat stuff as 'aor1.'

who in their right minds would pay that kind of money for a uniform your either 1. arent going to wear or need in the first place 2. if you do wear it 'for real' you are going to tear it to all hell anyway.

Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

I always thought that it was the man in the uniform that mattered.

But I think alot of people should take some time and see all the supply and demand for tactical widgets and whatzits in this day and age.

$3700 carbine rifle optics
$2500 carbines
$13,000 long range precision rifle systems
$150 combat pants

It's not about the price it's about the demand that drives up the price. There isn't anything wrong with it. That's capitalism in a nutshell.

It's your choice on whether you want to spend $1000 on limited run of Crye MARPAT stuff or just call Crye themselves and ask if they have any left.

It's probably what that ebay seller did.
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

There are a big group of guys that set the price super high on stuff like this and keep bidding on items until someone outsid ethe group like you or I says "I will make one bid on that" at $1000. The other 7 people split the money/profit of about $700 and stop bidding on it. Its a scam!!!!!!! Like in the above post you can buy the same thing for $300.
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

I will sell you a set for 800...lol... wow .... and some one will buy those. crazy
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

Is it wrong that I want to go to one of these airsoft places (I don't know what the f*ck they call them) with an M-4 set up for sim-rounds and about 20 mags and just start dropping people?

I'm reminded of the quote in Frank's sig line: "All the gear & no idear."

Actually I was wrong. I didn't look at all the pictures in the ebay ad but I guess it is a limited run camo pattern. Not the typical multicam from Crye.

Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

Kenda, I suppose you're right... just not my thing. I'll let it lie.

But I will say that the immaturity really pisses me off. They glamorize war as being this cool thing to do, when in fact they have no fucking clue what the fuck they are talking about. OK, now I'm done

Easy guys. It appears there are folks who get upset about their camo (Jellostorm), so I guess we need to stop picking on wanna-be's.
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

So is anyone else getting the urge to throttle any/all of those kids? I am. Good grief. I clicked on the first video link and it was like a freakin' train wreck from there. I couldn't avert my gaze to save my life.

P.S. I just found the other thread with Jellostorm's post in it. Redmanss gets the award for post of the month.
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

looks like marpat/ multicam to me... maybe the quality of the seams is what makes it cost so much... but even with the most high quality material, it seem's a bit ridiculous in price.
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

Sad day IMHO when "playing war" has reached the level it has.

One thing when you were an 8-10 year old kind playing with Army Men, or running around with a $5 plastic rifle. Another thing when you go to the level that these people do.

Airsoft can have some legit applications, I use a 20" AR to practice shooting positions, and they are great for some force-on-force practice.

However spending thousdands of dollars so you can be a "SEAL or DELTA Operator", total BS in my book!

Best of Luck,
M Richardson
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

I'm with this guy. I think movies and video games have really glamorized war fighting.

Come to think of it, I wonder if the reason some of the "kids" I saw when I were having a hard time coping with war was because they were not mentally prepared for the reality of it all.

Like I always say, there's no re-spawn in RL (real life).
 
Re: WTF? Is camo worth this much?

IMO, if these kids spend 10k on this shit and end up trained to keep their effing fingers off their triggers, it was all worth it. I don't know how many stories I've heard about someone having a negligent discharge because they never were trained or practiced safe firearm handling. At least these guys are getting that part of it.

What would REALLY be pathetic is if a grown man was doing this just for fun. I understand using airsoft for training, that's smart, but for just playing commando is rediculous....but then again, look at how many people spend 10k or better to do nothing more than punch holes in paper at 1000 yards. It's all perspective and what you want to do with your money, I guess.
