    Window handle knobs

    A couple years ago, I had the exact same issue. At that time there were no alternatives, (that I was able to source) so unfortunately I ended up buying new repop handles that worked with those knobs. (They were flat holes instead of the cone type) I am not sure tho if someone makes them now

    Car flipper cautionary tale.

    It seems to me that all the online sales sites (I will pick on Epay, but no different for the other online timed auctions) are set up to make it easier for potentially unreputable sellers from hiding issues and/or committing a more substantial fraud. Over the years I have spent many hours...

    NPD Greed

    For what it’s worth....my philosophical view in my mind, we all have a choice to buy or not buy... if I think shipping or the price is too high, then I won‘t buy the product (I only look at the final cost to my door) Let’s assume for a second, that everyone (or more and more peeps) revolt and...
