Score of the day

[DARRYL21270]

I just scored a lot of 140 flap discs on E-Bay today for $72 Retail is about $800. I swooped in at the last second and sniped them.

You lucky S O B and I mean that with all due respect.

the auction started 2 days ago at $9.99 and it was at $27 this morning and I knew it was going to go up but I didn't expect them to go for that little of a price. I just bought 2 the other day at my welding supply house for $13.00

That's a great buy. I pay anywhere from $7.00 to $8.50 each.

Now if I could just find a deal like that on consumables. I won an auction about 4 months ago for $100 with about $500 worth of consumables and the guy stiffed me and never sent me anything. I was pissed. Those things are expensive and they've got us by the balls because we can't use our machines without them. Kind of like trying to use a computer without an operating system.

i ordered a bunch from lehigh valley abrasives.com about a month ago. very good prices in my opinion for a decent product.

Don't feel bad guys. The box says made in China - so they will probably fall apart as soon as they start spinning. That should make everyone feel better.

The ones from Leigh are good and last. They are around 1.89 each

Have you checked the retail price on Tru-Maxx blades ? their not cheap and what isn't made in China these days when it comes to tools, cars and TV's

Here they are out of the boxes

Just make sure you have your safety gear on when using those things.
The last time I bought chinese abrasives, it was a pack of 3" zipcut wheels. 2nd wheel into the pack, it exploded like a grenade went off and I ended up with a 4" scar up my left arm. The only thing left on the arbour was the little metal reinforcement insert from the centre of the disc. I swore off chinese abrasives after that and threw the rest of them in the garbage. I think their quality control goes something like this... is it close to being round? yep... does it have grit on it? yep... good to go, ship it.

My plan was to only keep about 20 of them (the 40 grit ones) and sell the rest this weekend at an outdoor flea market I have a table at. $5 each or 10 for $50 if I sell them all that's $600 in my pocket for an $80 investment and I still get the use of 20 blades for myself.
