Today, I had success with my first e-bay bid. I have never bought anything on e-bay before.  I HATE e-bay!!!.  It is a cyclic process of frustration.  I would follow something I was bidding on for 7 days only to be outbid in the last 15 seconds of the auction.  People sometimes buy things for more money than the item costs to purchase new in a retail store...  WHAT IS WITH THAT???

I was bidding on Brady ID Pro Plus wire labeler's for labeling wires, connectors, etc. on the airplane.   I lost several of these labelers by being outbid by less than a $1.50.  I ended up with this one for $207.50 and it is brand new.  It is on the high side of labelers selling on e-bay, but few of them have been brand new.  The lowest price I could find from a retailer on this item was $385.00, so I guess I am still money ahead.

I am also bidding on a Semco Sealant Gun (pistol grip) for working with tank sealant.  Since I haven't done any work with tank sealant yet, I should be able to get some good use out one.  I have another several days to see if I am the successful bidder on that.  Dan Checkoway raves about the sealant gun he was given for helping out another RV builder sealing his tanks.  His information on his web site has yet to steer me wrong.
