Fort David Military Surplus

The owner was very friendly. We called in today around 3:30 to see if the store was open. The owner informed us he was closing at 4 but that he would wait for us. It took us 15 minutes to get there, and yes he was there waiting.The store is stocked with so many different items and prices are reasonable for it being a surplus store. I've been to other surplus stores and their prices were ridiculous.

The owner was extremely interested in me, said I reminded him of his daughter, kept wanting to know personal details about my life, then arguing with me making me justify how I live my life, giving unsolicited personal / religious advice, and made me very uncomfortable wanting to hug me too much... acted like we'd met before, which we certainly had not. Would not return.

Prices are high for used military stuff. The owner is a whack job. He's rude and I think he's hiding something. I don't recommend this place at all. All I wanted to do was to compare my ruck sack to one of his so I can identify what pieces I'm missing. He said no rudely. He should get no stars but I have to at least give one I guess.

Nice and welcoming gentlemen when I walked in. I was specifically looking for ammo cans, which he has a ton of. Price of the .50 cals was $20/each which is about the price you'd pay for new, which these were certainly not. I saw a random .30 can can and he said those were $10, which is reasonable. The one can I saw was scratched and one side painted solid white. I asked if he had others and he looked around for a little bit before asking if I was from Washington DC. Many of my questions were went unanswered but received cryptic answers. I was starting to feel pretty uncomfortable. I received a text and got an immediate "no pictures on here", to which I said it was a text. That was it for me. If I were you, I'd go elsewhere.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! We went there looking for a cheap pair of boots. When we walked in the man running the store said welcome. All the boot were along a wall with nothing marked with a price. We politely asked the man if if he would take $30 for the boots. The man yelled at us "this is my house!! Remember that!!" I told him we just wanted to know what he was asking for the boots and he said "All boots, $90." The boots we used and new ones on Ft Bliss are only $75. So I asked him (politely) if he would take $35. The man became irate. So we left as he was screaming bible verses at us. This guy was CRAZY!!! CRAY CRAY!!! I couldn't believe what had just happened. SOLDIERS STAY AWAY FROM HERE.

The item I ask for he had in stock very old and wore out I had asked him how much and he told me $75 and I told him to much do you have another one and he walked me out of his store Very Rude no customer service in the owner of his business. Will I ever go back the answer is NO WAY even if it is the only store in El Paso Texas.

I wish I could give less than 1 star. My daughter and I were denied service because we refused to wear a mask. By order of the governor, you can't mandate masks or face fines. I guess he didn't get that memo. For someone selling American military clothing, you think he would understand freedom. I'm not sure it's worth complaining to the governors office. We mainly went because of all the complaints about the crazy owner. We were not disappointed.

Very bad experience with the salesman, outside the store is advertised buy sale or trade and went I asked for trade he told me that it depends who, really? I walked out and never coming back, he was very rude.Not even half star!

Zero stars if I could. The owner is crazy!! Super religious for no reason. Kept talking about how Walgreens and pork is going to kill everyone. I kept trying to get him back on track with helping me find what I need so I could go about my business. Super unorganized, super creepy, not one item in there has a price tag. Not to mention it was 120 degrees in there! Every time I would ask how much he would quote me way more then the army would have. Which then I proceeded to tell him I will look elsewhere or set up payments through the army. Then he started yelling that we disrespect him and I politely told the man we are leaving and thank you. DO NOT go here. Go to elsewhere and what they don't have just pay the army for in payments. This guy was INSANE.

I went in looking something for the field. Do not patronize this establish. The owner or guy that was there is so rude and disrespectful. Save your money and go somewhere else.
