    No its not.(unless of course I am missing something and it wouldnt be the first time)
    There is something going on but I don't know what or why(though I do have a couple of ideas), I have seen other sellers do this. To save me putting up all the links, go to "other items" then sort by "price highest first"

    Paid $63 for one of these at a good quality tool store, thought it was more than enough.

    Have found LPR excellent to deal with.
    Would not buy from OZMxxx, as they have never answered any emails sent regarding their
    products.

    Hi R W,
    I've found exactly the same thing with ozm when asking about products(it took 3 emails to get an answer about frieght on a mill). So I've bought items from him not expecting any help if there was a problem. The 2 items I have had problems, emails were answered fairly quick and replacements sent. One was a broken tube on a fluro light which I thought he would say "take it up with Aus post", but he just sent another.
    Strange.

    Ozmestore flat out refuse to answer any emails...its relly bizarre. I actually got a reply from him once and feel quite priveledged.

    In his defence, he always posts very quickly and the products are basically as described with accurate photos. he is the cheapest in oz for most metalwork tools, however CTC works out about the same and has a broader range including some better quality stuff. This is where I shop now.

    I maybe the lucky one here as he has answered the few questions I asked about the price of combined postage, but that was a while back. I have his name in one of my emails, so I always start it with HI ****.like I know him.

    He has also backed up his products with me. Last year he sent me one of those combination centre sets for the tailstock and it had a heap of run out. I sent him an email about with the run out amount, and told him I could also send him a video of it if he wanted it, but. He just told me to send it back reply paid and he would replace it. The second one arrived and was spot on. The first one turned up in a timber case from memory, and the second was in a plastic blow case, so probably a different supplier, or at least a different batch.

    I have bought a couple of smaller things off Len, but he charges like a wounded bull. He recently put up some 4 inch lathe dogs, nearly $90 each with postage, though compared to Hare and Forbes selling a 38mm one for $44 I suppose it's not to bad for over here.

    I bought a set from EZ accessories in the US and the largest one was 2 inch, and it was only $10, so they are burning us with prices over here as they are all coming from China and both sellers are paying taxes. Postage cost me nothing as they where just flat rate box fillers, but even if you bought a 2 inch dog posted on it's own is only $28 from the US.

    Wow! Whatever happened to an old speaker magnet in a plastic bag ... or a rare earth magnet glued to a dowel and shoved down a piece of PVC for those who like fancy solutions.

    HI,
    I have always had My Questions answered by Ozmestore.
    I actually asked the Vice Seller a Question about the price. Here is the Reply Quote Hi, item is currently out of stock and is listed this way to stop people purchasing the item in the meantime - this way we don't loose our selling history, stock is due in 2-3 weeks and prices will be adjusted then. End Quote.

    Personally I don't think its the way to operate a Ebay Business. I have seen other Ebay Sellers do the same thing.

    That's it, Engineers shop and OzMEstore are filed in the same part of my brain, I recalled the wrong one.

    THE ENGINEERS SHOP items - Get great deals on Engineering Tools, TAP AND DIES SINGLE SIZES items on eBay Stores!

    and they are located in Broadford Vic, they always attend Model Engineers exhibitions , in fact I bought a knurling tool from him at the last one in Bendigo.
    They have their own website as well

    lprtoolmakers.com

    Ozmestore is located in Port Adelaide SA, and I have bought stuff from him as well and actually picked up some items from him such as my X2 Mill and also a 63mm Milling Vise.
    I think he only sells through Ebay.

    In general Ozmestore is much cheaper than LPR Toolmakers.

    I bought a Ridgid electric threader of ebay but it had no cutting heads.... Priced a full set from Sydney tools and that was $1500...

    They sell in the US for $700..

    And people wonder why we shop overseas...
