Indeed. For now, my 'needs'
are pretty basic and I can buy similar items more cheaply direct from China or from India via eBay/Amazon.

Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Accusize Canada lists "used" (returned?) products on Ebay under seller name "quality_machine_shop". Most of the time it's 25 percent off; lighter things often includes free Canadian shipping. Right now I'm waiting for a set of chucking reamers that was $156.75 instead of $209.00
Currently they have quite a few QCTP sets listed.

Thanks for that 'heads up'. Could be some bargains there- or at least prices that are more in line with the AliExpress and Banggood prices for similar (new) items.. They have 1500+ items listed on ebay under that seller name- both 'pre-owned' and new items. For the used items, it can be interesting to check the reviews on amazon; my guess is that's the source of many of the returned items.
