    Looks like he's done some good work there Bill. That clamp style knurling tool reminded me of one that I spotted on ebay recently. Check out the asking price on this:

    RDG's normal practice is to alter the price of a listing to a stupid number when they are out of stock to stop people buying them. I guess this is either less work, or cheaper in fees, than cancelling the auction when you are out of stock and re-initiating the auction when back in stock.

    It's a shame ebay don't allow you to just suspend listings until stock recovers.
