The Erco Ebay Challenge

We all know Erco is the king of ebay, well most of the time anyway, so why not suggest some items and see what he can come up with in his scouring for deals.

I will start off with a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) since they are usually $100s each.

    How about some kind of storage method for all this stuff I buy off Ebay at Erco's recommendation? I can hardly reach the beer fridge. (Just kidding, nothing gets in the way of the beer fridge).

    OK.... I want Erco to find a mint condition, working, flux capacitor. I have to take care of some things from a few years ago.

    This might work out, but... now that I'm looking for gainful employment, I need to become a middleman and get a piece of the action!

    @erco - How about we pay you NOT to find stuff for us to spend our money on. I think most of us would come out ahead... ;-) I just looked at another of your posts and started looking for an ARobot - always wanted one,,,

    Sounds like quality extorsion to me! Everybody send me $20 a month and I'll stop posting Ebay deals!

    Omron PLC, at $15 with zero bids and 1 Hour left.

    I'm not buying it, though, as the seller is using Ebay GSP for shipping, and they 'estimate' $26.63 in import charges(TOLL and VAT)...
    (TOLL and VAT doesn't come into consideration unless the item ends up costing more than about $30)
