Re: reverse osmosis question

I in general do not do any shopping on ebay. Probably miss some bargains, but I also miss some hassles and bad services. I try to find some good realiable sources/dealars and support them rather than shop every where or a lot of different places. I like private bussinesses, but they are getting scarce anymore. To much ebay and the like, such as PETCO and Walmart.

Re: reverse osmosis question

I've never had a problem with anything I bought on ebay. If it saves me some cash I read the reviews and then decide.

Re: reverse osmosis question

Like I said I try to pick a few good places and support them so that they remain in business. I believe that can be more important than saving money all the time. Money is easy to make, but good retailers that treat you well and stand behind what they sell are almost priceless. I can easily figure not smoking cigarettes, or drinking or doing drugs, alone easily makes up for any savings I lose by not shopping at ebay or discount houses generally. This is a personal choice I make, what others find is right for them or why might be different from what I, at my later age, now find makes me feel best about myself.
