Ebay can be addictive; I can drive all over town looking for for something, lately it was a #47 bit for building my latest flintlock, no go here in town. I got on ebay and had two at my door in a couple of days for $6. I have done this hundreds of times, from 36 grit sanding belts to Nicholson #49 rasps (got one new, American made for $20 shipped free).
I can spend more on diesel fuel looking for something for my shop than the cost of the item so I turn to eBay.
