I just ordered a bunch of various spinners, cause my kids into them, I got them from china, I am not afraid of lead but these things retail between 5 and 10 bucks... or more each. I can find them for more than 150 for 100 in any of the models good markup for any retail shop or ebay store when you only need to dump 10-20 percent of your inventory to ensure profit on a product as long as youre insured for lead poisoning.
Looking at my desk, which is cluttered, I assume there are three guys on this list whos desks aren't cluttered, the bulk of stuff in my desk, aside from the reams of printouts I intend on reading but couldn't anyway because Ive jotted so many notes on them are project components, a nut with a bolts, a mechanical pencil stripped to its parts, a gigeapc with a couple cutoff patch cables, some rj45 ends with the clips shoved inside each other, a paperclip holder with a bunch of ferrous shit in it, a couple rare earths, broken ink pens whose clickers still work, in other words a bunch of junk I fidget with. 4 bearings in a housing with a set of bearing covers is genius, even if they don't even have the complexity of two legos anybody remember finger boards, the little skateboards... somebody became a millionaire off those because back then china pretended they weren't ripping everybody off. I just bought a 65 dollar raspberry pi 3 kit with case, power supply, heat sinks, Bluetooth remote, 16gb card (think its a bootleg?... lol) On Fri, May 5, 2017 at 10:15 PM, Lewis Bergman <[email protected]> wrote: > I bought a travel trailer about two months ago.
