It IS possible to get a good deal on EBay!
« on: April 08, 2008, 09:36:52 AM »
I just got 2 boxes of 20 each 4000 grit Abralon pads delivered from California for $50! That is an old fashioned steal; I never expected them to go for so little. It must be below wholsale, since www.SUPERGRIT.com, the cheapest internet/catalog dealer, sells them for $60 PLUS shipping, per box  of 20.

I can only assume the other bidders stopped when they did was because the auction was only for 1 box. I asked the seller who said it was for both boxes.

What is "hand sanitizer gel"?


Charlest, I'm not sure what he is talking about, but if I were to guess, I would say it is that gel that is in a pump bottle sold at Wal-Mart and many other stores. There are different brands of it. Two that come to mind are Prell and Best Choice. It is especially popular in the winter when the Flu Bug is going around. Many stores around here have it at the check out counter for the customer to use before he leaves the store.

I know, Brick. I was making fun of the current "Z" generation's pseudo-fixation on artifical and exaggerated cleanliness, taken to an absurd degree.

While I appreciate and thank bowlingtoe for his comment, and believe that a gel may have an effect on Abralon's utility, I am not inclined to test it. I trust he believes what he has passed on to us, but there is a degree of diminishing return, taking effect somewhere in here.

I think this topic has gone far afield.

All I wanted to get across to the readers that Ebay is not always the EVIL B*stard that we often think of it. Between it and PayPal, its operating partner, it is possible to get good deals, if you watch and are careful.

I have been burnt when I wasn't careful. I have also been saved by PayPal and Ebay when my userid was compromised.  I understand that others have had less good experiences.

Caveat emptor.

I will be locking this topic now. Thank you for all the replies.
