Things you can't buy anymore but may find on eBay......
« on: January 08, 2017, 07:24:06 PM »
eBay is a source of old products no longer on the shelf for whatever reasons. 

Here are things I bid or bought from eBay that you can't find in the store any longer:

Octagon soap

6-12 Insect repellant....a really, really good thing to have.  Pretty fair amount of that out there you may want to check it out.  It's in my bugout kits.

Insect spray with DDT

A pound of powdered DDT to mix with water for garden spray use (I really wish I had gotten this to save some time in the future).  This stuff just works...I know it hurts the birds but I'm assuming new old stock is grandfathered in???  I wish I had some...my dad was powdered with it nearly his entire stint in the Pacific in WWII and lived into his 80's.

I remember seeing 6-12 insect repellent at home when I was a kid. I don't know if I ever used it. Wikipedia says this about it - "Ethylhexanediol, also known as Rutgers 612 or "6-12 repellent," discontinued in the US in 1991 due to evidence of causing developmental defects in animals." I'll stick with DEET.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

Yeah...yeah....yeah...I know.  Everyone I know heavily used it when I grew up.  That DEET crap is next to worthless....I'll take my chances...   :o

Sorry  :'(  No Lawn Darts or original style Jarts  :'(  Only the new style or "box only" of the originals  :'(

How 'bout Mercurochrome and Merthiolate..... I thought they were gone from the market, but you can get it also.....from ebay to Amazon and even CVS on one of them.

I wonder if it's the 'original' formulation?



Pathetic! Who would buy a stupid box?

Shoot, collectors of "things" will sometimes pay big money for original packaging of things long out of production. I saw where one idiot paid hundreds of dollars for an original box that a Superman doll came in.
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"When it comes to the enemy, just because they ain't pullin' a trigger, doesn't mean they ain't totin' ammo for those that are."~PegLeg
