Mods, this is not exactly woodworking related so feel free to move it if you wish. I may rue the day I showed SWMBO how to use Ebay. She's been on a kitchen refurb kick. Found backsplash tile she liked but hadn't settled on countertops. She was looking at solidsurface(dot)com but was concerned about shipping and how to handle full sheets at 100 lbs. plus. Then she found an ebay seller that goes by Tomstoybox1. She sent a message and found his name is Tom Phillips and he has a business in Milford CT. called Surface Techniques. He just bought the business including inventory and is trying to liquidate some of it. He didn't have the color she wanted but was willing to order it. I thought the non-'blessed' couldn't buy full sheets of solid surface materials. He said we cannot buy from DuPont or whoever but we can buy all we want from him and DuPont has no problem with it. I asked about posting here and he said go ahead. The caveat is that all identifying marks must be removed before it goes out his door so there's no warranty claim possible. We also bought a matching sink which he did not remove I.D. marks from. We drove up one morning in my Ranger. He cut a pallet down which fit nicely between the wheel well. He had ordered 1.5 sheets and cut them slightly oversized based on our rough drawing. That way the longest piece was only about 5' long. Cushioned things with cardboard and strapped 'em tight to the pallet. He does have some neat toys - Steibig(sp?) panel saw, Robland slider saw, a $$$$ machine that will route a V groove, apply tape and create a drop edge in one pass. He also got us the glue & gun for a decent price. Pretty nice option for those of us in the mid-Atlantic and lower New England areas. He does list local pickup only. The current ebay listing is 170826021419.
