Thought I'd pop this up for a little feedback as I've realised I've reached a sort of critical mass with all the bits and bobs I've been buying of late.
Just recently I finally bit the bullet and bought in a load of luer type syringes, tubing clamps and took stock of the large number of barbed elbow, straight through and other fittings that sit in a large tool organiser.
It's occured to me that I can't be the only one who's been looking to purchase small amounts of this sort of thing but found the minimum X hundred parts order side of things very off-putting especially when you add in P&P. So, as a little experiment I'm going to be putting an ebay shop up in the next few days with a selection of CIS related parts.
Granted I suppose this is a bit like advertising but I suspect a few of you will be biting my arm off to get things you've always wanted. Question is, does anyone else see there being at least a small amount of demand for this sort of thing?
On another note I'm looking for a new supplier for ribbon tubing as my original supplier stopped ordering it in over a year ago and my supply is running very short. If anyone has come across anything like this with inner diameters (ID) of around 1.5mm and outer diameter (OD) of no more than 2.5mm that would be really useful. Use of Tygon tubing in this way would be a massive boon as I really like working with the stuff
.
Lastly, I also need some thin blunt luer fitting needles for things like purging HP10/11/88 cartridges but so far I've been unlucky in finding anything other than short, wide ID stuff (that cost 40 to find out the hard way!). Any suggestions?
Anyways, feedback welcome... Here goes nothing
