The Best of Ebay

would yeld 1.5 kilos of solid sodium nitrate after evaporation.
if you can pick up at pet supply for 10.00 and not have to pay stupid shipping then it is comparable in price for those that are remote.

If it was a gallon of supersaturated solution there could possibly be that much. Do you know if that's the case? The listing gives no specs on the concentration. I know at least one of the local nurseries around here sells prilled sodium nitrate in I think 4 or 5 pound bags, and I've heard hydroponics suppliers sell potassium nitrate.

I just posted this because I thought it was kind of funny but... here is the msds https://www.accessbutler.com/msdsimages/A0000287.pdf. I think evaporating to get the nitrate is impractical though. You can get 50 pounds of NaNO3 for $118 with shipping. You would need about $250 and a whole lot of time to come up with that evaporating. I supposed it would be ok if you only wanted a pound or two.

I was right on 3.3 lbs per gallon . The recipe I found was for 400 grams of sodium nitrate per liter of d-water.

OK, well I just figured it off the weight of a US Gallon of water (approx 3785 Grams) divided by 100 and multiplied by the solubility of Sodium Nitrate at room temperature (approx 81.5 Grams per 100 Grams of water). So 37.85*81.5=3084.775 or a little over 3 KiloGrams for a Gallon of supersaturated solution. I knew it was pretty soluble stuff, Every time I bought one of the little one ounce glass bottles from Perfect as a kid it eventually ended up dissolving inside the unopened bottle from absorbed moisture.

I believe this has to be saved for future generations :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I sold ram sticks one time with the fingers removed. It was clearly stated in the auction. Where do you suppose this seller came up with $4250 as the starting price?

He also listed it "Make Offer". Maybe by putting a start price like that, he thinks some idiot with some money will offer him $2500 thinking they will get a good deal, and he may be right. I have seen some seemingly worthless things sell for hundreds of dollars on there before. :|

Why refine, these "Silver Rounds" are worth more that pure silver, only on e-bay of course.

Why are the US sellers refusing to post outside of US? I notice the karat scrap is priced much better on Ebay US and often higher karat. than on ebay UK.seems strange that they limit their business.

Most sellers think it is a hassel to ship ouside of the US and realize how easy it really is.

It's the same as posting inside US just you need to mark it as a gift to avoid customs.

With current state of Europe economy one cant avoid customs. It was possible few years ago and I was getting anything from outside EU without them bothering to check parcel. Not true these days. I can say that many times higher percentage of incoming mail is checked as governments found new source of income in charging for VAT and import tax. I was charged on 8 out of 10 items. Funny thing is that even if you include invoice with price they are bound to check if item is usually sold for declared price so you have hard time to explain them that you had a deal of the century and got that for half price. Another thing is that they have nice thing - charge for VAT analysis.

 

[sebastionay]

their not allowed to charge on gifts. although i have experienced simular extortion, i payed duty and charges twice on an overpriced graphite mold, and it never arrived.
