Upcoming Sales
Hello! So I recently moved, and the movers that were transporting a large majority of my things managed to break literally EVERY SINGLE piece of
laboratory glassware I had in a box. Quartz, boro, multiple distillation apparatus, soxhlet extractors, most of the glass was quality brands. All
gone. Probably 3-4k in glass I had built up over the years. All well packaged, mind you, with fragile written in giant words all over the box. I was
furious, and a bit confused as to how it could happen. Each piece was wrapped in bubble wrap, separated by peanuts. It was a large box, but relatively
sturdy. I am still pursuing the company for damages, but honestly it doesn't look good.
Anyway, does anybody know of any websites planning on having a sale soon? I know black friday/cyber monday are coming up in a week, and I am starting
from scratch for glassware. I have been just visiting random lab supply websites and subscribing to their newsletter when they have one, but none have
been promoting any sort of sale that I can see.
Thanks!

eBay has been doing site-wide 10-20% off coupons about every quarter. They might have one around Black Friday or Christmas. You can get quite a bit of
decent Chinese glassware from sellers Deschem, Nanshinglass, etc.

Thanks for the eBay suggestion, I think I will just be getting everything on there. Mostly buying cheaper stuff, but getting some good Pyrex stuff for
reactions that require a little more safety/quality.
Going to wait till black friday though, see if a coupon or better sale comes up.

I still have some things left, but mostly adapters, dist heads, adapters, and more, all used US made stuff. Also have lots of Soxhlets left. If
you buy a few things, I can offer a volume discount. Once you figure out what you need to replace, let me know, and I can at least give you some
prices to consider. Or just look at the latest spreadsheet in the "Glassware looking for a home" thread. Let me know where you moved for shipping
costs.

Definitely will be contacting you soon Dr.Bob, those soxhlets look mighty tempting, will pick up some other things I saw on the spreadsheet as well,
but its going to have to be in a week or two. Just blew almost all of my black friday budget on a 3D printer me and my wife have been wanting haha. I
wish I gotten to you before all the other items that were listed were sold.
I moved to Miami, FL.
Thanks!
