    Lube Buy, What Have I done

    I was slumming evilbay, and I ran into this
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-Sticks-50...item27c2ae290d
    So I got to pricing per stick, with shipping, thats 1.50 a stick, or buck and a quarter for fifty, you get the drift, so I bought 50.
    Now that I've got it, what have I done? I'm familiar with the NRA formula, but can he really do it this cheap? I'm at work, wont be home for another week, so the suspense is killing me, the stuff has already been delivered ( girlfriend thought they were a mistake, no wicks in the candles) Hopefully this works out, but I thought I'd get your opinion, maybe someone here knows of this guy.
    Thanks

    I wonder what NRA formula he is using ?

    obviously not 50% beewax, 50% 2138 alox

    he is probally using bees wax and alox350 to make the lube with and just to let you know I have made that lube for years and sold it for a $1.00 a stick for hollow and $1.25 for solid so I do not think $1.50 is out of line for it D Crockett

    He can certainly make the lube that cheap, particularly if he has his own bees. I see no reason up front to not believe it is exactly what it is represented to be... 50/50 dyed green.

    I bought some from a guy on this forum, he had a small amount of the original Alox 2138. It was tan, like the old kind and looked even better!

    I wouldn't worry All his feedback on prior lube sale is good with no complaints.

    lube

    I would be more worried about the girlfriend opening the package unless it was given a OK by you.

    Thanks for the link, think I will see about this, as it is as cheap as I can make it because I have to buy bees wax and it is high and Randy hasn't got any. Plus I do not have to worry with the mess.

    I have been watching a couple of the 9 stick auctions. I'd like to get your feedback on this lube once you get a chance.

    She's right.
    It's a box of those new fangled "Wick-less Candles".
    They run on solar and wind power.
