- New - (New w/ tags, New-in-bag, New old stock)
- Very Good - Minimal signs of use. These items may have slight wear or minor cosmetic imperfections, but overall, they are in excellent shape.
- Good - used but are still in good working condition. These items may show moderate signs of wear, such as fading, scuffs, or small repairs. Despite these cosmetic flaws, Good condition military surplus items are fully functional and offer reliable performance.
- Defect - Heavily used and may require some repairs or refurbishment. These items may have substantial wear, tear, fading, stains, and other cosmetic flaws.

I bought an U.S. Military Surplus Medium Field Pack Rucksack MOLLE II Complete - OCP/Multicam - Very Good. Well, I'll tell you what, this item is NEW. How I know it was new? I had to assemble it, that's how. Not a tear or a scuff of any kind on this thing. Everything to assemble it was in the rucksack. All I had to do was go search how to assemble it on the internet. It was simple to put together. And the price was fantastic. I ordered it on Saturday July 5th and got it on Tuesday July 8th. I will go to this seller again. I am well satisfied. Thank you.
I love my PCP Hydration Carrier from Forest City Supply. If you need military gear, give them a look before you search anywhere else.
Better than described. Great value and condition for the money. A great family to do business with.
Exactly what I was looking for at an unbeatable price.
We bought this tarp thinking it would be pretty worn yet still useful especially at the bargain price. Nope, arrived looking closer to a new item. We are very very happy with all the purchased items from Forest City.
Great experience, super helpful and had everything we needed.
I haven’t used the Skeeta net yet but I sure it will be just fine. There was so much stuff in there I bought way more than I needed but the prices were fantastic. The guy running it was very knowledgeable and very helpful. He answered all my questions and looked through stock to find some parts. They have a great store and you won’t go wrong stopping in. I’m looking forward to making another trip sometime in the near future . I was glad I stopped and you will be too.
I purchased a 20 pack of magazine pouches and they were all in better condition than described. In fact, everything in our order was in very good or better condition. My order was shipped quickly and it was a very good experience. We will absolutely buy from Forest City Supply again. A huge thumbs up.
Great tool in great shape. Came with a choice of cases for a very reasonable price. Waiting for the cots to be back in stock! Thanks guys!
This Assault Pack ACU is built to last. Strong YKK Zippers and a sturdy pack that can withstand the elements and won't fail you after you've just hiked several miles into rugged terrain. "Forest City Supply" sent me two of the best made Assault Pack ACU's I've ever seen. No rips, no tears, heavy duty made for military profesional packs! I will be ordering any military surplus I need again from "Forest City Supply" because they only sent me top notch gear!
This is one hell of a surplus store. I found this store on Facebook. When I found out that you could pick up from them we made a special trip down from Michigan. When we arrived we found that the store was locked. When I called to find out if they would be open that day. When we talked to the owners, they said that they were dealing with a family tragedy and would come down to unlock the store. Under no circumstance would I think that they would need to do so. We went to the rock n roll hall of fame. On our way back we saw that they were kind enough to open. Ones inside this place has a great setup. There was everything we wanted and more. All of there surplus is true military surplus. If you have the chance, I would definitely give this place a stop. I would definitely come back down when we need anything.
Thanks again . You guys rock!
The tarp i received was clean not faded or full of holes it will make A very good truck bed cover
Really nice backup to what i have good value for the money 👍
I bought this backpack for camping and my emergency services training. I was disappointed a bit when I saw that it was bigger than I expected but it will work for what I need it for. The description said that it was in "very good condition" which is an understatement, it is in brand new condition. The pack is amazing for the price and the seller has amazing customer service. The pack shipped very quickly and I consistently got updates from the seller. I will buy from this seller again if I need any more surplus items.
