Seen the price of D tips ?

[painter777]

See what a creative title and description can do for you.
Some D tips selling for more than C tips.
D tips- ~$70 - $132.50......
Is overpaying a symptom of Covid positive ?

I'd tip my hat to the seller if it wasn't for the use of WW2 in the Title listing. Then using the description as a 'how to' to educate buyers. Just isn't right.......

I been seeing this also, but I think the Newbie Buyer reads the description instead of buying some books and put some time in to educate himself. To me there's no reason to spend that much on a D-Tab Sling even if it was to go on the Granddaddy of MixMasters.
