Great deal on MH bulbs

TOO FUNNY
Anyways, I gave the link to people as a intended gesture of good will.
Not to get into a debate over it with people but I am going to say this -
You should care about what ebay charges because,in the long run, you will pay those fees.
Guess what, If the person doesn't make money, they aren't going to sell stuff.
All I was saying is that alot of sellers on ebay are charging more for shipping and less for the item because it puts less money in Ebay's pockets.
It is practice to save us and them money.....which I can appreciate.
LOOK AT THE BOTTOM LINE>>NOT INBETWEEN
Bottom Line, These bulbs are cheap.
If you don't like how the seller makes his money, THEN DON'T BUY THEM.

Thanks Howdy - I too have bought tons of stuff through eBay via Hong Kong. HK dealers do exactly as you say, and though the shipped cost is usually roughly the same as getting stuff from the states, you save HUGE on UPS and brokerage fees. Most HK shippers make sure you have zero fees on the pick up end... everything I have bought from Hong Kong has arrived safe and sound without having to pay another cent... conversely, almost everything I have ever bought from the states shipped UPS has cost on average an extra $50... one time on an item that only cost $100 to start with!

I paid $10.00 for shipping an HQI bulb from him.

Ok, after a few more e-mails we sorted out the confusion, he is setting up a buy now site for 16 or 18 US for each bulb and the shipping is 12US for the first bulb so not near as bad as the first e-mail led me to believe.

has anyone bought a 10K bulb that can comment on the look of it?

Steve

[howdy20012002]

that is what I bought. (10 K)
It is much bluer than what I replaced.
However, I am not sure what I had before..they came with the tank. so I can't really compare it.

white with a hint of blue
when u look at the bulbs, they are white
however, when you see the shine on the wall, it has a bluish tinge
