And you need a drum sander? Check this auction out:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0239326577

It may not look like it, but all the parts are there (Amazon has a pic showing it hooked up, google drum sander radial saw)

Here is another sander that lookes like a good deal and is getting few lookers

Cheers,

Mike

I have never had a problem with any of the 47 (really 47) items that I have purchased on ebay! from bone saddles to tone wood to tools to tunners, never a problem. (Ok... I even bought a guitar wow7-eyes ) with all things internet Caveat Emptor. Read the feedback before bidding and get a PayPal account!

John,

Its no big deal, but you do have to pay attention. Do not buy ANYTHING until you have watched about 10 auctions on things you really want. Learn about "snipping" and auto bidders. These confuse newbies more than anything. Always read feedback and look at the percentages against total number of feedbacks. A certain percantage of negative feedbacks against large sellers are almost guarenteed to be due to stupid buyers. Now, more than ever since sellers can no longer leave negative or neutral feedback (a good thing in MY book!!!)

But like I said, WATCH 10 auctions before you bid on anything. Then, bid on inexpensive things next. Get used to it, you will screw up a few times. Oh, and ALWAYS check shipping costs before bidding on anything! A seller who won't reveal this (rare) is to be avoided!

The two things I listed were awesome deals from very good sellers (I communicated easily with them)

Mike

good idea to buy small and get used to it. I have never been to good with bidding stuff...I like a streight deal...ya know..here is the product this is the price ...I guess it is the "buy now" price on ebay.I will get educated before I purchase.I just want to make sure i get the stuff.Thanks for the info friend.
[:Y:] good luck on your run...and I mean that.
peace and respect

Big John,

Also research the price on other sites. example, I wanted tuners for a dulcimer build. I looked at stewmac LMI and other sites like craig's list and even other auctions for the same type tuner. The "Buy it NOW!" price is really just the "I hope I can sell this quickly" price I think.
