I may post some items here again...or not. I may also try eBay again...
Another beef is that other LG members think I should give stuff away... 

I was raised vegetarian, and for the most part have continued for over 50 years (yikes! ) I tried being vegan a few times... ...just can't do it...I like my cheese!

Just took video of tornado siren music in my area. The tornado warning was actually not for my area, but the tornado sirens went off in my area, five
times. For good reason... there was an apparent tornado touchdown not too far from me, near Lebanon Ohio, which is apparently still part of Warren County.
Two confirmed tornadoes touched down.
The storm literally fell apart on radar rather quickly after leaving that area. Not sure of any damage reports as of now, but I did see a brief new video
of a tornado on the ground in Lebanon, from a news station there that I'm not familiar with lol

Just spent 5 hours... attempting... to drill out a broken bolt in my rear strut mount of my sport car. Failed miserably.
I've tried right handed drill bits with penetrating oil, left handed drill bits with penetrating oil, several extractors
including the famous "Grabit" extractors. Everything failed, miserably. The Grabit extractor actually slipped out of the
drill.
Either the drill is very weak, or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
And yes, I reversed the drill for the extractors and the left handed drill bits.

I'd be more than willing to actually purchase from you. I've done numerous trades and purchases with Patrick, Tim (beatoven), and other members. 

What is the ordering code for them? I wasn’t even aware they made ceramic metal halide specific ones.

  It's not CMH specific , Sorry !    I've never owned a 50w that's not CMH . I know they make them , I've just never owned one .  I paid $1 per watt for this one . I've bought them as cheap as $20 w/free shipping !! NOW , to figure out where I'll use them all !! 

I used to sell here, but got tired of the runaround.
Example: a member says to me that they want to buy some lamps, and ask me to provide a shipping quote. So I go through the effort to pack them up to get an accurate weight, and then they back out...it becomes a waste of time...so I quit.
My items usually sell on eBay, even with the hassle...I just have to price them high so I don't lose money...

Agreed. It's insane. I listed some lamps, sold at asking price, and made about 50% of what was actually listed in the end. $10 for all that hassle? No thanks.

Eric, you sound like you have one.

Yep, I have two...I'll never need them. Shoot me a PM if you want them.

Eric, what's your eBay username, if you don't mind me asking? I'd love to buy some of your "excess" lamps... 

I have nothing posted on there currently. Unfortunately, one has to charge a high price to make money...
