There are ex-guardsmaen that make a living bulling boots and I don't mean a $5 shine.
    Here is one such bloke I found when searching for ammo boots after being interested in them from another thread.

    That's the one I saw before, couldn't find it again, thanks. He charges $50 just to bull the toe and heel of the boots, plus the shipping. If you want the full boot beeswaxed and bulled it's $90 plus shipping

    And he claims a turn around time of 28 days because he's so busy.

    But those are definitely shiny boots.

    And that's if your willing to wait. Now if you had to find someone in the barracks in a hurry I could easily see $300 .
