Question: If you see what seems like a blatant overcharge in the b/s/t section for a NIB item, do you post on the thread or not? Just curious.

I'm tired, so maybe I'm wrong... but according to my math it's $17.50 per 2.5oz in b/s/t, versus $18.90 for 4oz direct from miltec. So an extra 1.40 get's you an extra 1.5oz if you order direct.

And if you want a really good deal, 2 for 1 deal

Do people just not research retail prices before buying on b/s/t, because they assume it's a good deal? Makes no sense to me -- unless my math is way off ;)

Art Vandelay has it correct in his link.

Here is a quote from the rules.


Absolutely no "trashing the sales" posts! Have respect for the seller. If indeed the item is available for a ridiculously low price somewhere else and you absolutely feel the need to let others know, do it in private. If you think the seller is nuts (seriously – sometimes the seller may not be aware that the item is available brand new at a lower price elsewhere) you may want to politely inform them privately (E-mail or PM) so they may consider an adjustment to the price?

This thread is also in violation of those rules.

Thread closed.
