Who here Ebays? I've got a couple questions

I was looking to buy some LEDs, 3mm or smaller. They are like 17 bucks at the local hobby shop. Got me thinking these probably come off of a line in china extremely quick. Found a supplier in China that sells them at .02 a piece. I bought a thousand of them. Arrived with no problem. But like everyone said, i was prepared to lose $20 bucks and chock it up to experience.
Knives, i dont think I would do knives from China. You can find Ebay stores that will probably give you a pretty good deal.

I have been ebaying since Jan. 2001. I personally do not purchase items outside the US. I don't sell much anymore, but usually only ship to US. In the past I have sent items to the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Japan, and South Korea with no problem.

I usually base my decision on the actual item and the cost of that item, as well as shipping. I find that shipping is often a deal breaker.

However, as the owner of two very small businesses I do purchase alot of items for my businesses that I can't get in this rural location. It can be a big time and money saver. I am at least an hour from any town or city large enough to carry items I need.
