If you're in a rush to get one I can't help. But if you're like me...."time is the mainstay of the poor"...Just keep you're eye's open on ebay... especially after the christmas season....
In with the new , out with the old.
I purchased my two kilns at different times, reasonably on ebay (see Newbie Question...Trinket..this thread)
It just takes time. And I have a lot of that. Just be patient.
Just FYI I'm currently bidding on a Vibratory Tumbler that's broken. The Gamble....Is it really broken or do the armature brushes on the motor need replacing? I've been looking at tumblers for months then this popped up. The same person was selling two other similar tumblers that were working and were snatched up. So far no one wants to outbid my $0.99 for the broken one.
Update: Got the 5# Tumbler for $2.37 and it arrived working.
