Lordco only sells "Ts" not "Ys", tried Home Depot and Rona, do not sell also. Tried Greenline and irrigation supplies no luck.

I need "Ys" not "Ts" but thanks anyway!

Check your local gas station or convenience store. We sell them in ours but we are in Nanaimo.

Hmmmmm......... I got y's from Lordco before. Did you ask at counter?

Good to know Dynamic Aqua-Supply carries them. Thanks, mpr. Never thought they were that hard to find locally.

I called Lordco just now, because I do need them myself. They have 5/16" y connectors in their Coquitlam store and can have them transfered by 10 AM tomorrow to the Still Creek location. Gotta love Lordco for that.

Overhead transparency

Staples' price seems quite pricey, unless you buy the huge packages.
Or does anyone know a place that would just print 1-2 page for you?

Also if you order it from ebay I just checked and it's around $6.98 plus free shipping from a Top Rated Seller. If you order now it will get here before Halloween.

I never ordered anything from eBay before ... umm .. I guess I should get on it ... not sure how it works :fulloffuck:

eBay is pretty awesome. Make sure you purchase from a seller with high ratings/Top Seller. Stuff from HK arrives pretty quickly.


I think this is what winson604 was referring to.

Naruto Blue Leaf Village Metal Plate Headband Anime cosplay | eBay

and

online there is LED Lights, Bulbs & Accessories - SUPER BRIGHT LEDS but I have seen some places here that carry it

MG1 10-09-2011 03:05 PM

I think Home Depot carries it.

Search Results for led rope light at The Home Depot

I know this is Home Depot US site, but I did see it at one of the Home Depot locations here. I shop at the Burnaby and Coquilam locations.

Ride 10-09-2011 05:37 PM

Home depot does carry the led rope light and there's also a store across from the burnaby homedepot
that only carries led lights and rope lights in all sorts of colors and lengths. I don't know the name of the store but it's on Dawson street across from the homedepot.

Not really a "where to buy" more of a "where to find"
Looking for one of those portable instant photo booths around Richmond.
Thanks!

That store is probably better, because the ones they sell at Home Depot are pre-made lengths.

Here's the place

It's ok as MG1 stated, it's easy. The listings MG1 postd were in fact the one I was pointing out. Cheap price + free shipping and the seller is a top rated seller so no need to worry about getting ripped off.

eBay is a simple website to use and is really not that much different than buying anywhere else online. The main difference is eBay doesn't sell anything, they act as a host for other sellers and buyers to meet. Think craiglist but with rating systems so you know if the seller can be trustworthy or not.

Anyways all you need to do is set up 2 accounts. An eBay account of course and a PayPal account which is used to send and receive payments.

eBay auctions have mainly 2 ways to buy something and depending on how the seller has set it up, maybe just 1. They either set a Buy It Now price meaning you can just go on the listing and click buy it now, pay and your done. Or there's the traditional auction style where you place a bid and when the auction ends, the highest bidder wins.

Most if not all of these Naruto Headbands will be coming from HK, China etc and from my purchasing experience on eBay I find things from Asia come quicker vs the US. HK typically 2 weeks or less. Good luck, any questions don't hesitate to ask.
