The Problem

eBay is one of the largest and most competitive online marketplaces for all kinds of products. When it comes to those sold by the unit, weight, length, volume etc eBay's size can become a problem. With thousands of listings returned for many common products it is impossible to find the one that is the best value.

eBay features a cost per unit measure on some listings but we have found it to be wrong a lot. Many listings are what eBay calls 'mult variant', meaning that the single listing contains variations of the product and one of these is often the quantity being sold. Each variation of quantity will have a different cost per unit and there is no way to find out what that is on eBay unless you click on every listing and check every variation on offer. Sorting by price therefore doesn't work either as there are often variations for sample sizes which may be cheap but their cost per unit is very high.

What We Do

After becoming frustrated with the problem of being unable to sort on price per unit in eBay we decided to build a solution. We check eBay regularly for a range of popular products and our unique software assesses each listing. We extract the quantity on offer from all listings and their variations, calculate the cost per unit and display the listings on our site sorted by cost per unit.

Because of the errors some sellers make when listing their products for sale we can't interpret everything correctly but we make it much easier to find the best bargains on eBay at any given time. We are adding new products all the time and we earn a small commission for our effort should you go on to make a purchase.

If there's a product you'd like to see on our site please contact us on our Instagram account and we will look into it.

Measuring and Selling Angle Iron:

Angle iron is typically measured using two dimensions: the length of each leg and the thickness of the material. For example, a common measurement could be 2" x 2" x 1/4", where both legs are 2 inches long, and the material has a thickness of 1/4 inch. When purchasing angle iron, you'll often encounter these measurements, helping you choose the right size for your construction or fabrication needs.

Ideas for Using Angle Iron:

Angle iron finds numerous applications in construction, fabrication, and DIY projects. Some creative ideas for its use include:

• Structural supports for shelves and furniture
• Brackets for reinforcing joints and connections
• Framework for building frames and structures
• Lintels for supporting openings in walls
• Stiffeners for strengthening various components

Best Practices for Working with Angle Iron:

Working with angle iron requires careful consideration to ensure safety and precision. Here are some best practices:

• Wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection.
• Use proper tools for cutting and shaping, such as angle grinders or hacksaws.
• Securely clamp angle iron before cutting or welding to prevent movement.
• Debur the edges after cutting to remove sharp edges and improve safety.
• Consider factors like load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance when choosing angle iron for specific applications.

Different Types of Angle Iron:

Angle iron comes in various types, each designed for specific purposes. Some common types include:

• Equal-Leg Angle: Legs are of equal length and thickness.
• Unequal-Leg Angle: Legs have different lengths and may or may not have different thicknesses.
• Perforated Angle: Features holes for easy bolting or welding.
• Galvanized Angle: Coated with zinc for enhanced corrosion resistance.

Understanding the different types allows you to choose the most suitable angle iron for your project's requirements.

Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional builder, incorporating angle iron into your projects can enhance structural integrity and versatility. By following proper measurements, exploring creative uses, adhering to best practices, and understanding different types, you'll make the most of this essential building material.
