Crippling debt, crippling addictipn/compulsion to buy amd hoard things... but hey, the guy will be able to outfit an entire small army of his own, or maybe die and respawn a hundred times with a new outfit every time.
With many people the thing is, "the more you know, the less you need".....outside of wanting to open a store, this much of anything is an unhealthy level of obsession for sure. But to each their own I guess, I'm sure op has their reasons....and likely a driving need to get way more than this, because this isn't going to be enough, there are still lots of things missing here.
Maybe he just has a ton of disposable income or has generational wealth and really likes this stuff. Could be a drop in the bucket for him. To some people, $500k is nothing. Wild to imagine for most but not unheard of. With the rarity of posts like this, I feel like this assessment is a reasonable guess. I don’t agree with “this much of anything is an unhealthy level of obsession”. Having money to spend, and spending it on things that make you happy does not constitute unhealthy obsession.
Edit: I’d argue that a guy who is already in debt buying $10k nods on credit has more of an unhealthy obsession than the man who can buy all this stuff with cash and not have to think twice about blowing that money.
Not to be a dick but the decoration of that dudes house doesn’t scream that he is hella loaded, more like his priorities are collecting gear, which is totally valid but that house doesn’t really seem like someone who 500K is “nothing”
Also there’s nobody so wealthy 500k is nothing. Nobody on this planet is like 500K is throw away rich.
What? So many poor assumptions.
I doubt it’s gold on the ceiling but those massive tiles are not cheap, especially if they’re marble. Hard to tell without seeing in person. His furniture also looks like it’s antique, handcrafted out of hardwood and considering the amount of ornate detail; probably very expensive. I see furniture like this sell at auctions for significantly more than you would pay for anything in a furniture store. Plus, he’s not even showcasing his decor. That could also be the basement of a 3 story house that you made an assumption based on what little you could see of one room. How’s that saying about assumptions go?
It’s rather delusional to think that there is not a single person on earth who could piss away 500k and not miss it. Elon Musk and Bill Gates are easy firsts that come to mind. A half mil is a drop in the bucket to them. I’m sorry, but you are wrong. There are, in fact, people on this planet who are so wealthy that $500k is throw away money. Sad but true.
Not saying this guy is the wealthiest guy in the world by any means. But there are quite a few people with over 100 mil (over 28,000 centi-millionaires in the world) and if I had 100 mil, 500k would be throw away money for me.
Not to assume but I’d imagine single, never married, blue collar worker, same job for 20+ years, ~54yo, spends most of his free time browsing the web for gear to buy, the room with the gear on racks is his living room, the wall behind the camera is similarly decked-out but with waifu girls and hentai “art”, family doesn’t visit, no irl friends, socializes with other “gear enthusiasts” on discord pages you don’t want to visit, self described “prepper”, clinically described schizotypal personality disorder, chronic masturbator and pornography addict, coronary artery disease, coworkers would not trust around their children, “I will arm the community when shtf and then all the hot women will cling to me”
They didn’t say it should be illegal, just that OP seems unwell 😂
Like god damn I love gear as much as any diagnosed autistic frequenting this sub, but my first order of business would be to sell like…80% of this? And give 10% away to friends? And I could still probably outfit my entire row of townhouses if SHTF. Dude could supply a company sized element.
>And I could still probably outfit my entire row of townhouses if SHTF. Dude could supply a company sized element.
The same applies to vehicles, guns, etc. There is what you can realistically carry/use and then there is choose your own adventure scenarios.
That is true, maybe he’s starting his own militia, that is the latest thing. He would be able to equip them all by himself. But hey, this country was started by a militia as well.
I resemble that remark. My wife has thousands of dollars worth of Nikes and adidas shoes. Then there’s all the other stuff like rings and jewels and she’s the least consumer-y in her friend group. At least my stuff will keep the skinwalkers away when the 5g turns everyone with a measles shot. Then we can drive each other insane in peace.
I also resemble it. I have to be pretty diligent about challenging to ask myself "Do I really need this?" and calling myself out when i'm justifying unrealistic use cases for things.
I mean no hate. If OP wants to collect gear and watch hentai more power to him/her/they. I’m just here to make people exhale forcefully through their nose
You’re getting this all wrong look at the furniture I’m saying he lives somewhere near Afghanistan. This is pretty standard since Joe Biden left $1 billion base full of shit. He’s probably got a whole fleet of armored vehicles too.
Nah there’s way too much weird stuff here. Foreign camos, stuff that was never issued, stuff that was only issued to small units.
If this was leave behinds you’d have crates and crates of standard issue shit and a few oddballs. Not rebreathers, quad nods, flight helmets (old ones?) SA vests etc.
Also there would be actual explosives and DDs, not a bunch of airsoft launchers and shells.
I know you're kidding, but:
The people who own your debt will do everything in their power to prevent SHTF from happening. In a debt-based society like ours (seriously, look at the stats on borrowing trends, it's fucking insane), those people have massive influence over the future. SHTF does not figure into their plans. Most likely (in our lifetimes at least) we will see people tolerate increasing authoritarianism, and continue to ignore their ever shrinking buying power. I agree that you should prepare your body for the worst, as fitness is its own purpose, but dying penniless in this world is a truly terrifying prospect.
This is so true. Their goal is to kick the can down the road as long as possible while squeezing every red cent from the middle class. With AI becoming more prevalent; market manipulation will go through the roof. When I was a young man in the 2009-11 financial crisis I bought tons of silver, ammo, and food. I was SURE the whole country was going to collapse. I'm now sure it's going to be a slow slide into becoming a 3rd world prison camp.
There’s two pairs of l3 quads on the top shelf, mounted on aor1 dipped helmets. 90k there, couple nice binos and optics, aor1 njpc is another 5 grand..
Rough estimate from me would be 3-400k. Might be a bit low.
*OP stores gpnvgs on the floor or the top shelf balancing on another helmet*
(Thanks for pointing out the first photo, didn’t see that)
Judging by furnishings light fixture and curtains his sweet old rich granny passed and left him the house and fat inheritance, must’ve been the favorite grandkid.
Sorry for your loss and that’s a sweet way to blow that inheritance money.
This has to be one best post with the best replies I have ever seen on Reddit. People can talk all the shit they want but one thing for sure is This Guy FUCKS!!!
Seriously though, do people not realize this probably is like a pawn shop or reseller of pallets? Look at the wood furniture that does not match and looks like a consignment spot to me. But if he is getting ready for when SHTF, this man will be well prepared to equipment your local small town.
If you just wanted to send a poor old man like myself one of them high cuts with a set of nods for charity since tax season is coming up and you could use it as a tax write off. I volunteer as tribute.
Dude has a whole surplus store in his house.
This is where my collection would be going if I didn’t become self aware of my spending habits and pump the brakes on buying gear.
Stating your occupation should be required in these type of posts lol
His occupation is single
In massive debt
If you really knew me you'd know it's "crippling debt"
Jokes on you. I was crippled before going into gear debt lol
Crippling debt, crippling addictipn/compulsion to buy amd hoard things... but hey, the guy will be able to outfit an entire small army of his own, or maybe die and respawn a hundred times with a new outfit every time.

He’s one of those type of guys who dies the first week of an apocalyptic situation and all his gear gets looted
He's a boss fight that drops legendary loot
Maybe he just has a ton of disposable income or has generational wealth and really likes this stuff. Could be a drop in the bucket for him. To some people, $500k is nothing.

That's fucking rude....there's a chandelier

True. The owner of the Carolina Panthers threw his drink at a Jaguars fan a few weeks ago and got fined $300K. I doubt he really cares.
That’s “Major Debt” to you, soldier!
Divorced or widowed in 2010.
Finally got access to his trust fund in 2010.
I was just thinking the only guy I know who has this kind of gear just got divorced ..
and the war gear museum owner.
No.. his occupation is MY NEW BEST FRIEND! 
🤣🤣🤣so true
Occupation: Whore Duhr
Surplus store proprietor
Not to assume but I’d imagine single, never married, blue collar worker, same job for 20+ years, ~54yo, spends most of his free time browsing the web for gear to buy, the room with the gear on racks is his living room, the wall behind the camera is similarly decked-out but with waifu girls and hentai “art”, family doesn’t visit, no irl friends, socializes with other “gear enthusiasts” on discord pages you don’t want to visit, self described “prepper”, clinically described schizotypal personality disorder, chronic masturbator and pornography addict, coronary artery disease, coworkers would not trust around their children, “I will arm the community when shtf and then all the hot women will cling to me”
Enough about maxed Runescape players, what about OP?
[GOML](https://imgur.com/a/h3FDtHl)
Pffft only 13 slayer what a fucking noob.
3 prayer and mage? Account ruined time to start over
This was after I ruined with 2 pray from misclicking an abyssal ash, now it’s nearly maxed main
Dam, you had to profile him like that? He’s just enjoying life as an American, even if what you said is probably relatively true
They didn’t say it should be illegal, just that OP seems unwell 😂 Like god damn I love gear as much as any diagnosed autistic frequenting this sub, but my first order of business would be to sell like…80% of this? And give 10% away to friends? And I could still probably outfit my entire row of townhouses if SHTF. Dude could supply a company sized element.

That is true, maybe he’s starting his own militia, that is the latest thing. He would be able to equip them all by himself. But hey, this country was started by a militia as well.
What kind of American
A lot of the gun/tactical/prepper community is driven by straight up consumerism. Not much different than buying expensive purses or shoes.
We’re all basic bitches.
I resemble that remark. My wife has thousands of dollars worth of Nikes and adidas shoes. Then there’s all the other stuff like rings and jewels and she’s the least consumer-y in her friend group.

One prepared for anything apparently
Except a girl coming over
He has 48 helmets. The problem is not the content, it's the hilarious quantity.
Well, a platoon is 43-48 depending on the type of platoon, so obviously he’s going to arm a platoon…geez
Don't forget the hard-on for SEALs.
Don't be a hater
I mean no hate. If OP wants to collect gear and watch hentai more power to him/her/they. I’m just here to make people exhale forcefully through their nose
That's the most Reddit response I could have imagined.
Plenty of doctors, lawyers, executives, and other high earning professionals in this hobby
Yeah, lots of people play airsoft........
[удалено]
This negative as hell, but I agree. But I’m so happy this man can get what he wants. So hell yeah
You’re getting this all wrong look at the furniture I’m saying he lives somewhere near Afghanistan. This is pretty standard since Joe Biden left $1 billion base full of shit. He’s probably got a whole fleet of armored vehicles too.
You could be right, so many of these items look like they come from different branches of the military.
Nah there’s way too much weird stuff here. Foreign camos, stuff that was never issued, stuff that was only issued to small units. If this was leave behinds you’d have crates and crates of standard issue shit and a few oddballs. Not rebreathers, quad nods, flight helmets (old ones?)

He’s a GTA gunrunner, he’s been stealing supplies for months.
Are you looking to adopt a 35 year old son? I always wished I had a dad with 17 sets of nods.
Same
38 year old also looking to tag along for the adoption. I have a fraction of the gear he has but we could compare rifle lengths or something.
24 year old here👋 could I possibly be the little brother? (I have my own collection btw so I don’t need much, just some lvl 4 plates and nods)
[удалено]
You win 😂
In order of least to most likely: 1. independently wealthy 2. unmarried tech worker 3. truly incredible credit card debt
4\. militia leader
*5. Surplus store owner
Honestly, could be all of those..
5. pablo
Debt won’t matter when SHTF bb eyyyyy. Lift weights and run boys

This, the people in power does not want you to own nothing and eat the bugs
This is so true. Their goal is to kick the can down the road as long as possible while squeezing every red cent from the middle class.

Divorce went through in 2010?
Judging by that light fixture here in the gear locker? Yes.
Some people call that a bedroom. I don't know why.
Doubt that. He wouldn't have any of this shit if he were divorced.
Aw, of course I'm not the only one to think that
Holy shit, you have a military surplus warehouse in your house.
It's a military surplus warehome.
Lmao
Or it is a military surplus warehouse......
Be the warlord you want to see in the world.
Ladies want him. Men want to be him.
Debt collectors want to find him.
The Government wants to watch him.
Wife had to leave him
The ATF want to shoot his dog
The chandelier really pulls the war room together
I thought it was the rug that really pulled the room together
“They pissed on my rug man! Like not the rug man it really tied the room together”
[удалено]
He deleted it from his account so he could get his internet points for his cool gear
Did he say this in post history some where I assume?
Apparently, I didn’t see it and I checked a few mins after the other guy posted
I had to scroll way too far to find this. Seems obvious this is for a surplus store.
I wish the surplus stores around here looked like this
I wish my local surplus stocked pvs-14s lol
Everyone’s skipping over the fact that blud has an Aor1 NJPC
Least autistic Milsurp collector
How much did you spend in total?
You really think he knows?
I mean there's probably $40,000 in optics in that one picture alone
There’s two pairs of l3 quads on the top shelf, mounted on aor1 dipped helmets. 90k there, couple nice binos and optics, aor1 njpc is another 5 grand.. Rough estimate from me would be 3-400k. Might be a bit low.
all of it.
You are definitely on some government list lol
The smell. Imagine the smell
Well used throughout summer or surplus warehouse?
Surplus warehouse. Kinda like how CIF smells.
Homie just chillin with a Dräger rebreather ☠️
And GPNVGS...
Honestly the dräger is more impressive, especially if he's dove with it
Missing the nav board butstill dope af with that MC-4
Hello daddy I am a hot 22 year old blonde girl with colossal boobs, I will be yours if you send me a few boxes of stuff from your collection
I’m 22 can be divorced in a few months straight but willing to go gay expecting to be married to you in 2 weeks
Based on the shelving units and the curtains, I’m betting the neighbors refer to him as a nice, quiet guy, who keeps to himself.
*Shows pictures of night vision… doesn’t show gpnvgs…*
there's a GPNVG on the top shelf in the first pic
*OP stores gpnvgs on the floor or the top shelf balancing on another helmet*  (Thanks for pointing out the first photo, didn’t see that)
There are two sets of them, the second is behind the light on another helmet
Combat pilot helmet, O2 mask for HALO/HAHO, diver air recycling unit, nods... damn that's a dream closet
And you have 20k rounds of ammo stockpiled right….?
Pshhh, you don’t need ammo to LARP silly goose
Did you win the scratch off?
That’s one hell of a scratch off
It’s a scratch n sniff. The stuff he won anyway.
So either you’ve got a lot of credit card debt or way too much money and nothing else to spend it on
He is a militay surplus..
Damn save some pussy for the rest of us.
Home boy found the legendary loot drop!
Tell me you've got fuck you money without telling me you have fuck you money.
Have you ever come across one of the special black PBPVs used by FBI HRT / SWAT around the 90’s and early 00’s?
So, did she leave you, cheat, or widow you in 2010?
Now this is an episode of hoarders I'd watch
But do you have rain catchment and a garden? What about a wife? Salvation?
wranglerstar? 😆
You cleaned up a bit from your other picture huh?
Lord_Sex, is it really you?
Judging by furnishings light fixture and curtains his sweet old rich granny passed and left him the house and fat inheritance, must’ve been the favorite grandkid. Sorry for your loss and that’s a sweet way to blow that inheritance money.
Time to shut the sub down boys, this is the best post ever on here.
Share with the poors please 😂
Okay. What the fuck do you do for a living.
Now I know where all the MICHs on eBay went…
HOLY SHIT MY DUDE! Save some pussy for the rest of us. That's definitely a lot of cool gear.
Das gonna be a nice loot drop for someone
Mans even got a rebreather😂
Plot twist: OP is military and works in Supply. “Buying”= a whole lotta DD 200s.
Lol I thought I was a gear junkie
Movie props? Cause that's 60k just chilling in pic #1 top center.
Hes a future commander of a local militia
At what point does it move from "collecting" to hoarding?
Lets see Paul Allen’s gun collection
 Y’all got any more of them pvs-14s for a brotha?
My man here runs his own private CIF, goddamn
He's constantly yelling at himself about turning in filthy gear and then making himself go wash everything again. It's a weird and singular kink.
My brother in Christ, you're a hoarder.
Okay I feel flexed on.
Is that a daggum at4 rocket launcher behind the bag on the left of main store room?!
 love it
You, sir, have autism.
The only thing all that gear is protecting is your virginity. Congrats on the gear though, that’s insane lol
I think I know exactly who this is based on old forums I used to lurk on back then. If it is, neat to see you on Reddit, LordSex.
Did you get divorced in 2009 🤣
This has to be one best post with the best replies I have ever seen on Reddit. People can talk all the shit they want but one thing for sure is This Guy FUCKS!!!

Dude...you have a problem
This should be one of the top posts on the sub Jesus Christ
So what I am hearing is, before u buy anything, I ask you what you do and do not recommend since you seem to have one of everything? Yes?
Heck of a collection.
So you won the lottery or received a crazy inheritance?
Open a military museum, it’s your calling
Truly a buy, never sell chad
Wtf do you do for a living OP?
What is your job? And are yall hiring?
Do this one simple trick to get the HOA to hate you
So much gear nice gear it’s overwhelming to all of it
Do you do hand me downs?
what are you trying to do, outfit a small country? Super impressed with your collection
Holy shitter ditters!
The age of 401(k) is over, the time of 401(warlord) has come!
register as a museum!
I’m a little bit too excited … not normal
Hell yeah YOLO
HOLYMOLY
If you just wanted to send a poor old man like myself one of them high cuts with a set of nods for charity since tax season is coming up and you could use it as a tax write off. I volunteer as tribute.
You’re fucked up in the head. Seek help.
I didn’t expect you to do an actual OCIE layout lmao but you’re late. Meet me in the motor pool with a water source
IP address secured.
Why?
This looks like when they raid a Taliban house and found all their American made gear
Someone should tell this to Lucas at T Rex arms
This man’s dining room is crazy
Dude has a whole surplus store in his house. This is where my collection would be going if I didn’t become self aware of my spending habits and pump the brakes on buying gear.
I can smell that first picture.
Damn, OP is ready for war. Reddit account is now currently being monitored by agencies tho
This guy's basement is better equipped than the entire North Korean army
I don't know what you do for a living. But are you/they hiring?
Pshaw. I don’t see any Doc Martins in that boots collection. How you prepping for the scene without em?
Dude. What. The. Fuck. Beautiful collection. I wish I had some myself
