Damned Ebay. Dropped another $42.00 last night. Wonder if it's possible to disable search on my computer ? Think I need an intervention or something.

Nice finds captbob! I check craigslist almost every day too. I've had a few steals over the years, but you seem to be in the land of used lapidary. I wonder if it is the retirees thinking they would like the hobby, but changing their minds? Found a new vibe for jamespatlanta.craigslist.org/nat/for/4864151391.htmlI would make a vibrating hot tub out of that one. You have to get that one....epic! Legendary tumbler. But who could afford the grit with that kind of habit. Cheers

My "Watch List" is usually a couple/few thousand bucks worth of stuff. I do trim things off as they go over what I'm willing to spend on them, but weekly purchases still ain't pretty - the rocks are, just not good on the bank account linked to Paypal. Still, there are deals to be had if you have the time to find them. Bet I spend 4-5 hours a day (usually very late at night) there.

Got a couple hundred in mineral specimens I'm watching, and a nice portable air compressor to power my mini air tools. As long as mamma can't get into my Paypal acct., I'll be allowed to live a little longer.
Been back & forth between Ebay and several forums all day. Butt's getting sore from sitting in front of my computer.

Sometimes, whether you need something just doesn't matter.
