little bits of clothing like sweaters, issue boots, issue wool hats, wool liner-gloves and a toaster (tho not airsoft related) at Value Village. =) I was surprised to see issue boots for $15.

I often use a crocodile skin Samsonite by Alexander McQueen boarding bag as a responder's kit.
I ALMOST bought a 1 of 10 14K gold, red velvet lined Christian Dior guitar case to be modified at Harrod's into a rifle case for about 85% off. The poor bastard couldn't offload the damn thing. Even at 85% off it was about 1200GBP.
Also, toiletry bags make GREAT pistol pouches.

goggles from Wickes (a DIY place here in the UK) used by builders. Cost me £2 (about $4) and have withstood more punishment than my friend's guarder shooting glasses, including my custom safety test (point blank with a 500fps sniper 5 times) :P

Found two sets of Firepower multicam BDU's while visiting Cloverdale Fleamarket. The vendor had no idea of the value and sold em for 15 bucks each...even threw in a extra acu shirt if I bought everything...his market must have been just hunters.

I once found a partially used condom at the local Salvation Army. I got it for 50 cents, brought it home threw it in the dishwasher, and have been using that bad boy ever since!

Multicam cooking knife carrying case at a dollar store.

I cut out the plastic sleeves meant for holding knives and it fir my extended WA Hi Capa like a glove.

I dont know why the carrying case was camo though; maybe they were trying to make cooking cool.

Sorry Tex but that pic is going into the Spelling/Grammatical Fail thread :)

Look at the bottom of your pic where the watermark is.

Dammit. Fixed. Nice catch.

I've found some good deals at flea markets in Arizona. A little out of the way, but you can buy everything from MREs to all sorts of knives, gear, guns, you name it. All you need is cash, no questions asked and it's all legal.

Most of it you could never bring back with you though, but some of it you can.

My suitcase was stuffed with goodies my last trip back.

Battery operated glow stick with a 4 way switch at the dollar store and their door/window alarms make wicked trip wires

Hey, yeah, I just got some of those "glow sticks" (they change colours, right?) from Shopper's... and a supposedly "strobe" light for jack-o-lanterns that's really just blinking christmas tree lights; might make a good night target or something.
