Thanks to a TF member that bought the Flojet Quad 5.0 pump.
He got a hell of a deal at $50 for a brand new pump.
I will have a used version of that pump for sale next week.
I list items weekly on eBay so it pays to check frequently. I'm a retailer, not a collector so I start dropping prices on items not selling. I think I started the Flojet auction at $139.99 and reduced price every week until it sold.
I often sell things for less than I paid for it just to clear inventory in order to have cash to buy more inventory that will turn a profit

You do have some interesting stuff. I keep checking back...
Thanks for looking.
It's unbelievable how sales on eBay are going during the virus. Must be the inability to physically shop or that all the swap meets are canceled.
I'm having one of my best year on eBay. Things are flying out the door.
My net profit is up too since I can't buy any new merchandise at swap meets and garage sales. I'm selling all the less expensive items that I've had sitting around for years. Free Money!
I usually sell more items in the $200 and over price range, but those items are long gone.
Fisheries Swap Meet was scheduled for April, rescheduled for June and now canceled until further notice.

Where? What I read was check the packaging. I was hoping to find that.
Also, as a US manufacturer ourselves, we must caution, it doesn't mean our materials are all from the US, as many of them are imported.
Regardless, I'd be very supportive of Greenlee just in knowing they do employ nearly 1000 US employees.
You also now have me curious as I'm not knowledgeable about hardware but just noticed that we do carry about 15 Greenlee products ourselves.
Actually hardware is one of the few businesses that except for Harbor Freight, you'll find a lot of US product. It makes sense to manufacture in the US due to the weight, so a significant percentage of equipment still made in the US. I would say in an average hardware store, you'll find 60-70% of the equipment and tools made in the US.
To get back on track, regardless of whether it's 100% or not, I'd definitely encourage supporting Greenlee.
