This post makes no sense but I'll take a shot.

Buying bulk your best bet is to order online, especially with that kind of bulk. If you want to buy local there are EMS and REI stores all over MA, I don't know any local shops but someone else might.

I don't know what you mean by bong crabs, I assume you don't mean bong pitons.

Duties are country dependent, but that quantity of crap will almost certainly get you an excess baggage charge, which can be steep for international flights. Check with the airline.

You don't say where you're going in Asia, but you could probably order Czech stuff from most asian countries and get it cheaper than you will pay getting it retail here and flying it on a passenger airline.

Hope that please clarify what exactly you're trying to do. I'm kind of puzzled why you need more ropes than harnesses.

Generally you only have to pay duty on items you're taking out of or leaving in the country you're visiting, you don't have to pay duty on stuff you're taking and bringing back. Though there are exceptions, so find out ahead of time.

so are you saying that you want 50 biener's that you can smoke dope out of? because if you do, you are luck my friend. i happen to be running a special this week on hollowed out carabeiners. (law inforcement, please note sarcasm)
you might get a better response if you can specify if you want HMS bieners, lockers, D's, ovals. help is out man. around here a bong is a water-filled device made from glass and used to smoke illicit substances.

but i have to ask, what in the hell would you need all of this crap for anyways?
