I bought plastic pellets on Ebay. 10 lbs for $17.65 (included shipping) from hifi_guy_2000
Just search "poly pellets"
It will probably take forever to use them all but delivery was FAST and ... I'll never have to buy them again!!!

That sounds like a good deal Joy. Here's a bit of pellet advice. NEVER drop the bag. Yeah Ok that sounds silly. Well, I dropped a 5 lb bag once and I've been picking up pellets for months now! Those little things get into everything. Just don't drop the bag and you have pellets for life...  joe |

I'd say you got a very good deal if that includes the shipping. Good job!!

YES, you came across a good deal. You have enough plastic pellets to last for years.

Just in case he has none, I found this guy selling stuff for lapidary. He sells plastic pellets at $10.95 for 5lbs in weight. www.tumblingmachines.com/tumbling_media.shtmlHope it helps with the pellets if not he seems to have loads of other equipment. Cheers Chris |

Well I didn't get quite that good a deal on Ebay. I bought 11.5 lbs for 21.10 delivered. Price came out to about 1.83 per pound.

Are those floaters or sinkers? The first kit I bought that included pellets came with sinkers and what a pain those are. I ended up throwing them out.  |

Joe...too funny but sadly true. One of my greyhounds eviserated a beanie baby 4 years ago and I still find a pellet once in a while. The stuff is scary!

11 1/2 pounds of pellets seems like A LOT for one person. don't you use only like a cup maybe a cup and a half when needed? (The weight from the ebay sale)
