Did not need anything, but still ordered an axe. The handle has the biggest girth of any axe I have used.
Shipping was crazy fast. Looks nice.

Update - mine arrived two days after order, as eBay indicated.
I ordered the top five from @ching0n 's link - all the options under $20 (4-lb fiberglass, 6-lb hickory, 8-lb fiberglass, 10-lb hickory sledges and 4-lb axe). Couldn't decide whether to go 6 or 10-lb hickory and finally decided I was wasting too much time choosing between two <$20 items and grabbed both.
As stated, all made in India (not a common source of high-quality tools in my experience). Came split across three boxes, somewhat loosely packed and I thought I might find them pretty beat up, but figured hey, they're sledgehammers. Well, not the case - all looked in good condition and I was surprised how well finished they were. Great deal - thanks @elcom !

Ordered up the 4lb hammer. Time to get medieval on some concrete...
I bought a mini lathe to **** around with (amazon made it easy w/12 month no interest). I bumped into this one in/my "research". It's unique in that it has both power feed & cross-feed. It looks like comp. is Ohio based and may be putting the kits together to their specs. They offer the same (and smaller) w/less accessories if you prefer. Shipping a bit high. The bed ways on this one could be better (they're flat +v instead of double v)
I have an atlas that I bought a while back but it's been slow going getting it to perform well. Bought it hoping to cut some threads but I quickly became not a fan of change gears so bought one w/an electronic lead screw. You just push a few buttons and it cuts. Long bed version of them are still available but I don't need the extra length plus question rigidity. I'm not recommending it since I haven't gotten it yet (I think direct drive may have issues w/torque) but it's half price from the next ELS lathe (which is semi-direct drive and pulley/geared).

spreetail back again. they seem to rotate their prices often on the MM stuff they're selling. here's the MM version of a dremel for $13.36
Master Mechanic 40 Piece Rotary Tool w/ Accessories Kit and Spindle Lock Design
Master Mechanic 60 Piece Mechanics SAE Socket Tool Set, 3/8 Inch Drive Bits
$21.45--lowest i've seen it(Only received toolpost ;avoid)(Only received toolpost ;avoid)
I was planning to go w/a multifix system but this AXA copy popped up w/7 tool holders and looks like worth giving a try. I contacted seller and he said it does indeed include the tool holders (ad makes it dubious). Will report back if not the case. He accepted my 60$ shipped OBO. I believe the footprint is 2.5x2.5x3:
oh man, sorry you followed me on this one. I've asked for a refund, he's come back with "how much refund" but I can find the post for 18$ on aliexpress and a similar kit for 80$-$90.
I did receive the aliexpress multifix tool post clone and holders yesterday which was fairly fast. This model may be tiny for mid-large lathe but will work for my atlas compound. I see nothing seriously wrong w/them except maybe they're advertised as 12mm holdes and will fit but you lose some thread engagmeent for the set screws. I have 10mm tools so they're fine and I may be stressing over the 12mm engagement. One of the tool holders has special notches to hold round tools so that was a nice surprise.

Need one of these, thanks!
Project Farm recently rated the Ancel BA101 as the lowest-cost tester that passed all his tests:
Heads up if you order the Ancel BA101 - got this message from the seller:
"Thank you for your order. Please know that ANCEL BA101 is on pre-sale, you will receive your package in 15 days from the time you place your order, please be patient.
If you have any questions, please contact us via ebay message."
Waiting isn't an issue for me, but the eBay listing says 2-4 day shipping and that is not accurate

Interesting. I got the standard order confirmation. I wonder if there were only a few on hand.
I did too. Received a track #

Same here, but I did eventually get the pre-sale email as well. The tracking info I got shows the item is in Kentucky so I assume it will be here in a few days.
Ebay digital gift cards sale... $100 for $90 or $200 for $180
Tracking shows out for delivery
looks like mine is out for delivery today. Maybe the pre-sale message was sent in error

Temco cable crimper only, no dies. $22 Says it the older version, no spring under the handle
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1559502565...nGYhxNIxfcrdCcXgGXZm1/nU8=|tkp:Bk9SR9qDgMP5ZQ

The 18 piece die set for those lists for about $90. So that + the discounted crimper comes out to about $60 off the standard selling price for the full kit. I was just curious, so looked it up, really don't need one. Seems solid and I can't imagine the full kit goes on sale too often for such a specialty tool.
A few bux cheaper than jungle site. People seem to be generally happy but suggest disassembly and deburring 4" table, 3" chuck. It's a vevor but there's different accounts that carry the label for some reason:

^ I knew somebody here would want it.
I already own enough otherwise I would have grabbed it.

I got a 4 jaw 5" independent chuck from this vendor (49.99$), branded vevor as expected, A bit grimey from left over swarf and might hit a few corners w/a needle file but solid piece otherwise. Shows as 65$ now on my end but other vevor account has it for same price.A few bux cheaper than jungle site.

I didn't bother w/the OBO because I need this yesterday. Best price for features ('rugged pendant', 2x wireless remotes, bolt-on hook, lift strap) out of the dozens of clones I looked through:

Interestingly- There was a Dyson refurbished vacuum I was watching a few days ago it was for sale for $199. Well this morning it's part of the 20% off deal, but they raised the price to $249 which makes it $199. so for at least this one item, it's not any better than it was yesterday.
Edit- I should add this was an item from Dyson directly- not a third party seller- so I was looking at the same exact listing just with an updated price.

^ the old "Up 20, Down 10" discount. 
Delta 6" Stackable Dado Set (35-530) $19.99 +$10 ship
low feedback on seller but it did include positive feedback on the specific item so i decided to roll the dice. ordered monday, received today. pictured is actual product i received. looks like NOS. still made in china though so not too old of stock. almost want to pick up a 2nd set for this price. even two would be cheaper than i could find a no name dado set anywhere else.

Looks like eBay has 20% off on some stuff.
The Dewalt 891 refurbished non-battery for $164.
Some searching indicates this is a great price?
Now to look for a deal on their PowerStack(?) batteries.

Lots of Old Milwaukee stuff on sale for 20% off as well. IDK if any are good deals though?

That guy in Bellevue has been selling Milwaukee, Makita and DeWalt stuff for a few years now. I am betting he busts up combos on sale and then sells each individually.
