Hey Everyone, I had to take NSG down for a little while due to my primary job (If only this would suceed enough that I can tell the boss to shove it!). However it's back up and running now, and I'm adding products daily. If you have anything you would like to see on the site please let me know via PM and I will be sure to find a supplier and get it up ASAP. I will be primarily focusing on gear, including a lot of foreign camo patterns and the like! I'm sure that my prices aren't the lowest on the internet, but I'd like to think they are pretty competitive; and hey, the money stays in good ole' Michigan www.NorthernSunGear.com

Since your a smaller retailer; I bet if you stocked some old mil-surp ALICE gear you could make a good profit off of those. And if you ever get a chance to grab some Russian RD-54's count in my buisness. I'd order from Russia but for what I'm getting the shipping isn't worth it.

Needs company names on items. I assume that will be something coming.
Will you be carrying airsoft or RS gear? If yes to RS, what brands?
I don't think there really is much of a market for old ALICE gear... I could be wrong, but you don't see a lot of people buying that. However, for the prices it might not be bad.
Check out the DRMO auctions if you wanna do some surplus related stuff. They've got a warehouse down in Ohio if I remember correctly.

I'll favorite your site and buy what I need from you. I'd love you see you successful with this site. I'll spend the extra money knowing that it's not going to a bunch of rich guys in California that have never known the value of a dollar to begin with.

Thanks for the support and the tips guys. Knife; I do plan on carrying some RS items, with time (I'll let you know brands when I've ironed out some suppliers for them). I will also be putting up brands in the future; right now quite a few of the pouches and such are less known companies but I've ordered them and found them to be of suitable quality. I will however in the future be stocking more of the "brand name" items. Thanks again for the support guys.
Also, I'll see what I can do about getting some Russian gear asap.

So where is this store located? Or is it just something ran on the internet out of your home?
Next time I need a new BDU or helmet cover I will be sure to order from you. It's just as expensive anywhere else, really.
How much does your shipping usually cost?

I try to keep shipping relatively low, and I'm providing several options: Per item shipping, Table scale shipping (Based on price of items), and in a couple months I'll provide USPS quoted shipping for estimations. Right now it is ran out of home; but if it gets enough of a following I intend on opening a shop on the west side of the state, centrally located between Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Battle Creek.
I also intend on going to several events, atleast one per month, so people who order can pick up their items or meet me to save on shipping if they wish.

Did you double your inventory or something this morning? I glanced through the site yesterday and don't remember seeing a good deal of what I saw today. If so, awesome!
I'd really like to see this take off. I'll be sure to check your site first before looking elsewhere for stuff.

Doom,
Yes, I actually have quite a bit to add still; and as I said if there is something you don't see that you are looking for let me know. I can usually get my hands on it. I don't have all my suppliers set up yet for the name-brand stuff; but I'm workin' on it!
