I've tried to buy a cheap R8 arbor for 22mm hole diameter gear cutters from Amazon a few times and have not been able to get one as of yet. I stuck out 2 times on my order and got refunded. I'm waiting for my 3rd attempt at ordering but it is looking like strike 3 is coming.
I don't (yet) want to but one from a more reputable place like KBC because of the huge price differences.
I'm wondering if anyone has one they would like to sell?

I don't have one for you. But when/if you find one, please post a link to the right one.

I too have tried and failed.

More spendy on Ali & spendier yet on Ebay. Who woulda thunk. OTOH I have seen things on Amazon at great prices but no stock which isn't all that useful either.

Well failed 3 times with Amazon. They were cheap but never came (got refunded).
So I tried Aliexpress and prices seemed to vary alot there also, naturally I chose the cheapest and low and behold it arrived.
It looks good and have no complaints cosmetically anyhow. I haven't tried it yet and it may turn out to be made of cheese, who knows.

Yes I cut a couple of small brass gears with it. I'm happy with it. Prices seem to vary hugely but it appears to me the product is the same.

I hate aliexpress... processed my payment in USD
Ya and then then the actual amount charged to my credit card NEVER matches exactly to the invoice. I guess it's differences in exchange rates between the time they charge and the time they invoice?

I use paypal (when offered) for AliExpress and have never had a discrepancy issue. CC charge in CAD usually goes through right away. You can have prices on AliExpress displayed in CAD.

I suspect that is a setup thing (resolvable). Mine displays in CAD & charges my CC in corresponding CAD, no FX conversion or surprises. Seems to me when I switched to CC from some other payment mode or maybe new CC#, I had to specify this. Or maybe I'm getting mixed up with Alipay which is for Alibaba but used by both? Sheesh I cant remember anymore but I have notes somewhere.

Every once in a while, maybe I clicked on a menu inadvertently, it looses its language marbles, the whole page displays in Dutch or Korean, including their currency. Usually its fixed by logging in again or worst clear browsing history/cookies. I've had this equivalent issue on other websites too, personally I think its usually a Chrome issue.

They do display in CAD. BUT if you use certain credit cards then they revert to charging in USD.

I usually hate them too. It isn't just the confused currency. This whole colour and size thing drives me crazy. It's like the system is designed for clothing - and it probably is! So does finding what you need. So do the descriptions and whacky disparency in shipping cost.

That's why I like to ask for info from someone who successfully got what they ordered and is happy with it. Sometimes the low cost is irresistible! I've generally ended up happy when I had a reference.

But like you say later, you really have to question your sanity when the price difference is low.
