I have to own up and say I order my d rings from wessex or lion. I am slightly embarrassed to have to admit that I don't buy these top quality ones from ebay. I feel now like I am cheating my customers

Several crafts would use this type of D-ring, can't see it being much use to picture framers, unless possibly those who would use chains for hanging heavy items.

We sell these D rings in several sizes in brass and 'silver' - the one inch brass ones are 10p each - those ebay ones work out at 15p each plus postage.
They're used for various things such as curtain tie-backs, apron straps, etc.

Bad me, they were listed under framing/matting(on my saved searches)....
Oh well,there seem to be pretty useful to some,I will have another look at them and another chuckle then carry on.
Silly me
All the best

Roboframer,
just in case I change my mind and opt for some of these,how much would you charge for postage?
Cheers
Brian

Would depend how many/what they weighed - we pack things like this up in second hand jiffy bags, take them to the PO a few doors down, get a price and add that on at cost.

Oh
12. That's not so bad. I thought it meant each.
Seen dafter prices on fleabay.
The best bargain I ever had was a box of spongy sanding blocks. 225 in a box. The guy wanted 20 quid but I beat him down to 15. They go for about £2.50 apiece in the DIY sheds. Wish I had got the other three boxes he had.
Later....... Thanks Brian. I just bought a load of paintbrushes. (At the right price.
)

I would buy items on ebay to frame and sell, but their search facilities includes too many unrelated items to waste my time with while trying to find what I want. Nice items with potential for profit are hard to find these days.
