Hey guys, I just bought 100 feet of 36 gauge nichrome wire from ebay,
should be here soon I guess. My question is I paid $.99 for it, plus
$9.99 for shipping and wondered if that was a good deal...I know it
doesn't cost anywhere near $9.99 for shipping, he just made it look
good on the price of the item, but I don't care, I noticed that type
of wire is fairly expensive normally so I grabbed it. Any opinions?

I only ask because I am not familiar with that type of wire.

Yeah that seems all too common these days on Ebay. They sell the item dirt cheap and pay Ebay a low fee, then make their profit on the shipping which Ebay doesn't get a cut of.

Seems unethical to me, but then again every seller has a love-hate relationship with Ebay which gravitates more toward hate the longer you deal with them.
