They still will have some value though.  There may be someone who really
wants a vest, and (s)he'll pay the most for one.

But someone in town, a professional trader or the local bartering stop will
offer a price on 'em anyway.  Because someone will want 'em, someday.  Even
if not now, but maybe in a couple of weeks, or maybe then the Convoy comes
through next...

Now - you might only get a full box of ammo for the whole set, but hey,
they are probably gonna just get mothballed until the guy can sell 'em off.
