Knucklehead trying to sell a broken main breaker for $40:

"The handle is broken and is stuck in the on position, other than that it works fine"

On what planet does that constitute "works fine"? Apparently it never occurred to the seller that the breaker cannot be turned off, nor can it be reset if it trips.

How many 2 pole 20 amp main breakers have you seen? Might that be 200 amps?

And, he needs $15 shipping, too.......

Yes, it is 200 amps. The shipping charge is reasonable: that's a large, heavy breaker. The goofy part is that he's trying to sell a broken breaker.

Not much point in that. Clearly, you didn't follow the link and look at the ad; otherwise, you would have seen this: Seller information Member id ddmj199871 ( Feedback Score Of 18)

A seller can't enter negative feedback for a buyer, but a buyer can still enter negative feedback for a seller.

Sellers can't leave negatives about buyers. Though there was a time when retaliatory feedback was an issue on eBay, those days are over, since only one party in a transaction can now leave a negative?the buyer.

I buy all my air bags from the used auto parts market on eBay.

Just curious. How are air bags shipped? Don't they contain some kind of explosive charge to make the bag inflate?

"Joke" doesn't work well, since those who actually put in/take out airbags, or just know it's done all the time, consider buying/selling/using "used" airbag a common term. A lot of them are sold and shipped. Just means an undeployed airbag that came out of a used car. Here's the real answer for Caesar.

Bottom line is they're hazmat. But a lot of people don't know the laws and just put them in a box and ship them.

Thanks for the helpful answer. That's interesting and appears to be a less painful shipping process than I had imagined, given that the Feds set the regulations.

At quite a bargain.

There's a shop around the corner from me that sells "used" tires. Actually, they get the tires from salvage yards where the vehicle has been totaled in a wreck. It's obvious from looking at their stock that the tires they sell have VERY few miles on them.
