HOLY SHEAR PINS BATMAN!

[chadrog]

I'm window shopping for supplies this morning and come across an eye opener -
https://www.ebay.com/itm/230882466647?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Could this possibly be correct? 500? Looking at a different listing from the seller, for a screw that is shorter, I come to the conclusion that it's a typo. https://www.ebay.com/itm/230869437212?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Well be it a typo or not, the ad is for 500 screws at $13.95 with free shipping - can't pass this up. Says there's 4 more lots of these available, anybody need a couple shear pins?

Holy batcrap, shear man! You have found the holy grail! All that 4-40 hardware is making me googly-eyed too! WoOT!

How about this from same seller for a cool million ($$$$): https://www.ebay.com/itm/21-Million...479?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35a1513cef

 

[fyrwrxz]

Dang! Just when you need an aircraft factory and I'm fresh out!

Haha, at least that other item has free freight.

Pitty they wont send things international. I'm stuck with my usual: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/100pcs-...908?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5646d815b4 At least these are in sensible measurement units

I feel your pain. The good thing is you don't have to explain to the wife why her parking space in the garage is taken up by a forklift....

 

[Issus]

No, i have to explain why it's taken up with a photo studio, large work table, large CNC mill, lathe and pallet of plywood

"but it's going to start raining soon, i need to put my car inside so i dont get wet"

 

[fyrwrxz]

Like I told my wife.."I'm sorry, but it's too late for a basement"....

 

[chadrog]

Hopefully he has 2500 of these laying around...

I'm trying hard not to have the same problem...

McMaster has them for $4/100, so this is a savings of $6-7 off McMaster's price for 500 assuming it's not a typo and he actually means 50, in which case it's a huge ripoff. No biggie, but I guess it'll be a nice pickup for someone.

Thanks for this, I've never found them cheaper than MCmaster. My order has been marked "shipped" from the ebay ad, time will tell. I have a weird feeling there's only going to be fifty screws in there.

 

[Issus]

I think you'll get 500

 

[cavecentral]

I think I will get 500 too

 

[blackjack2564]

They are back up............

 

[Jmhepworth]

If 500 isn't enough, he's got 5000 for $55. Just over a penny a piece.

I'm set for a lifetime!!!! Thanks for sharing your find!!!

 

[troj]

I ordered 500; should last me a while.

Did you buy 5000? 500 should be nearly a lifetime supply for me.

 

[jd2cylman]

Yup. Me too. E mailed the dude and he confirmed 500 count. And he must know our intended use as he replied "happy rocketry!"

-Kevin

I did as well! Nice find!

 

[chadrog]

I'll take his word for it.

 

[troj]

Agreed! Mine arrived today, as well. I have to imagine he counts this by weight -- counting out 500 screws would be...painful.

[Pantherjon]

Mine are supposed to be delivered Wed per USPS tracking info...

 

[chadrog]

-Kevin

Counting them by hand would likely double the price, too.
