So, a few days ago I ordered a few ER20 collets, collet nuts and collet wrenches from Precisebits.com for my spindle in the hope of reducing the runout that I find with the cheap China collets that I used so far. It was not too bad, but why not improve. I ordered from the Think and Tinker Precisebits web site and paid with credit card directly (not through PayPal).

Now today I opened www.ebay.com to shop for something totally unrelated but on the very first eBay home page I am suddenly greeted with several dozen offers for ER20 nuts, wrenches and related stuff. What a coincidence. Not that I would not find it interesting but that whole tracking business really annoys me. I don't think I am paranoid yet but it really pi**es me off.

I am only wondering who spilled the beans. The seller, the credit card company or some other intermediary.

Oh well, maybe we better get used to it.
