MG TD TF 1500 - ebay kookoo again

They want $48.00 BUY IT NOW and Harbor Freight is selling the same gun (web site even shows same pic) for $14.99 at their web site. I just don't understand but it sure is good for a laugh!

Surprisingly enough, no one has gone for it yet, at least for that particular listing. Usually, there's at least one uninformed chap (I was going to say 'sucker', but that's maybe too harsh) that will take the bait.

It's an interesting sales strategy, take some general item, market it as something for T-Series owners, and hope someone will pay a premium price. Doesn't say much of the seller's opinion of our intelligence.

Phew, Had me worried. I had this unit on my "Watch" list and thought it was the one above.

It is not. The one I was watching is the 19.95 one

BTW has anyone used these? I have a blasting cabinet and also a syphon blaser, this looks like it may be easier to use than my syphon system.

Well, I bought the $14.99 one from Harbor Freight and 50# of beads from Eastwood (the ones they say will not etch the metal). Tried to use it this weekend, problem so far is that when you tip the gun at a downward angle all the beads run out before you can even start shooting, which mean I WOULD HAVE TO BLAST things at an upwards angle. I guess I have to figure out something else with it.
