Question Anybody Ever Use This Link For Belts?

I stumbled upon this lady while looking on Ebay for some deals on 2" X 72" belts. Anybody ever use these? Looks like it might be something to try. Thanks!

I bought a batch from these folks- real responsive and quick delivery. I felt like they were happy I was spending money with them- a big plus in my book.

The belts work fine for finish and light grinding- they aren't Nortons- but they give you the chance to use a new, sharp belt without the Norton $ting.

Thumbs up

Barbkat is the abrasive lady for me. Good pricing and good service. Been doing buiness with her on ebay or direct, for over 3 years now and never a glitch.

Is there a minimum order with her? Company I've been using, Red Hill Corp, has a $25.00 Minimum.

Ditto, recommend her highly, fast service (OH-to-OH shipping) and good belts. No minimum with her.

I have bought from her several years now. She even walked me through setting up my Paypal account.

I called her one day and told her I needed belts, she shipped them and trusted me to pay the next day when I got to my computer.

She can't count worth beans though, she seems to sometimes stick in an extra belt.

I don't buy through e-bay though, I go direct to her.

Just placed an order with discount abrasives this week. They were real good to deal with and like WinDancer said, seemed happy that I was spending my money with them. I've also bought from Barbkat and had good service from her too.

Hey Joel, not trying to be a smartass, but I can't recall a time when I didn't buy a lot more than $25 worth of belts at a time.

Usually, it's more like a hundred dollars worth.

Heh, you're right, danbo, my order is usually around $80-90. Was wondering, so I could just order a few different ones to see what she had, is all.

I have purchased from Discount Abrasives many times. Kim is great to deal with. Orders come lickedy-split. He's got the lowest prices around on A/0 & Zirc belts and they are (from my experience) a bit better than the belts I got from Barb.

No offense intended, both are great sellers and nice people to work with. Just making a note based on my experience.
