[Milsurplus] Maybe the Good Old Days Weren't

[Hubert Miller]

Some of the old catalogs and ads, and probably i'm mostly thinking about 
G&G as the perfect example, were loaded with
stuff that just wasn't very usable, like the RAY-3 and BC-645 and who 
knows what, and when you scale up the prices to
today's, you see that they were flogging their large stock of 
not-very-desirable stuff for not bargain prices. Well, maybe
a bargain in relation to what Sam paid for it, but only. Some of the ads 
weren't real informative either, like the ads for a
whole RU-GF system. The price seems like almost a deal, but not a steal, 
but nowhere in the ad was any word that the
receiver was a TRF and no, you probably wouldn't greatly enjoy using it 
on the hambands.
