You hit the nail on the head.
That is sooo true.

Trappin season must be over!

You forgot all the religious and political stuff related to lightbulb post.

I only believe in Incandescent lightbulbs. Not LED! And only bulbs made in America!

Great post K-Zoo!

I think this is the best post ever!

I sold some light bulbs today...

$10 for four fluorescent tubes ($2.50 avg.)

$18 for a 400 watt metal halide.

$12 for a 1000 watt high pressure sodium. (It would've brought more but the buyer said it was too orange)

$4 for 4 compact fluorescents.

How'd I do? I got screwed didn't I?

Mike

Who did you sell to? Were the bulbs new or used? What brand was the 400 watt metal halide?

Were you smiling when you sold them?

No need for it. T-man members aren't afraid of the dark.

And what if the bulb breaks?

Will

Ol' wolfdog will start a discussion on modifying light bulbs
