Good Stuff
All of the surplus came in good condition with no tears or stains.
So hypothetically, lets say you're moving a warehouse full of military surplus. What would suck the most to ship? If you guessed boots—you'd be right. They're bulky, heavy, and your employees will hate you when they have to re-sort everything at the other end.
So instead of moving with our boots, we're liquidating them. Enter Ivan's Boot Balls.
About the Balls
Unlike previous "Gumball" themed clearance events, Boot Balls™ are composed of regular inventory direct from our shelves. You're getting our regular products at a massive discount—unless stated otherwise all boots are either new or in Grade 1 (excellent) condition.
Each Boot Ball™ contains one (1) randomly selected pair of boots based on the published odds below. No special requests for specific models boots will be honored, it's all down to what the random number generator says.
Please note that this is a clearance event. Returns, exchanges, and warranties are not honored on Boot Balls™.
A Special Note on Sizing
Sizing is determined off of standard US sizes. Some sizes may have different widths mixed in. If you have a specific width you would prefer please put that in the order comments. We will try to accommodate width requests, but there are no guarantees.
The Boot Ball™ RNG Process
Below you will find the table of available boots, each with a corresponding percentile chance. Boot Ball™ items are determined through the following RNG system—no requests for specific boots are allowed.
Let’s say you have your eye on a particular pair of boots and want to calculate your chance of getting them, at least once, across multiple Boot Balls™. The formula for this is:
1 - ( 1 - % Chance) ^ (# of Chances)
If boot A has a 20% chance per Boot Ball™, and you purchase three Boot Balls™, here's how it would shake out. Your chance at boot A is equal to:
1 - (1 - 0.20)^3 = 0.488
In other words, your chance at boot A is 48.8%
Note: To use this formula you need to express the percentage chance in decimal form. The 20% chance in the formula above is written as "0.20" not "20."
Happy hunting and may RNGesus bless you!

Honestly great selection, although some of the items didn't fit. There should be like a size questionnaire included because i swear both awesome pants I got I had to give them to someone much smoler.
Good shit
I ordered 5 balls. I got a DPM Combat Shirt, Flecktarn Parka, Flecktarn Pants, Big Fish Hat, and a $50 gift card. (~$176.71 worth of stuff for $79.95)
The shirt, parka, and pants were all supersized. I don't even know anyone that big I can give these to, but at least I can get a shirt or something that fits with the gift card. Not really worth it since I have to donate most of what was sent.
After years of not the greatest luck with gumballs I received a tastefully aged flecktarn parka *in my size*, some delicious beans, and a $10 gift card toward my next prayer for NODs.
