Gear for new umpire

[uxley11]

Outside of apparel, and the +POS shoes I will be buying, I can't see myself purchasing another piece of equipment for the next couple of years. I bought a WV Gold Chest Protector, Wilson Dyna-Lite Mask, OHSAA Hat, +POS pants, OHSAA shirt, and an OHSAA jacket for under $250. How did I do it? Ebay and Delaware blue of course. I bought my chest protector and a pair of Davis shin guards off Blue for just over $100 and then I sold the shin guards for $60. I bought everything else on Ebay, and with even had a pair of +POS shin guards thrown in for, wait for it, FREE. And +POS shoes I am buying are brand new, and I am getting them for $75. I think I cleaned up pretty well.
