If you look really close at the photos, you can see it's all name brand borosilicate glass, including a lot of 14/20 taper stuff. Praxichys - 13-5-2017 at 09:00
Nice find! Super goofy that a pile of burettes, condensers, and columns are "vintage beakers" ... I had a nice chuckle.elementcollector1 - 13-5-2017 at 09:31
Don't be fooled, look at the shipping prices.JJay - 13-5-2017 at 09:34
To some sellers, all labware items are bottles.Melgar - 13-5-2017 at 19:39
Really, that seems to be pretty close to what shipping a large box of laboratory glassware would actually cost. I'm in the US (New York), and
everything seems to cost between $15 and $20 for shipping, which is about what I paid for shipping from Dr. Bob. I think he just sets the shipping
cost to his actual shipping cost, then starts the bidding at $1, since he doesn't seem to have any idea what it's worth.j_sum1 - 13-5-2017 at 20:23
"Does not ship to Australia."
I have only just started browsing but the one I thought was funny was this one:
It even says, "boiling flask". But nope: "beaker"!Melgar - 15-5-2017 at 07:30

What puzzles me, is first, he tries to fit the word "beakers" into each auction title at least three times. Sometimes, he can't fit the third one in,
in which case it becomes "bea" or "beak". Is he pasting them in from somewhere else, or what? And second, he called a few things, like the mortars,
by their actual name, not "beakers", but then there's this:
Like, those are just vials. Or "jars", if your vocabulary is limited. They don't even look very useful for chemistry, since they're clear plastic
(ie, not polyethylene or polypropylene or PTFE) and likely to be polystyrene which is dissolved by practically every organic solvent that isn't an
alcohol. But nope, those are beakers too!Magpie - 15-5-2017 at 10:02
Some of those kits have angle shaped connectors with female tapered glass fittings. The end is closed. What was the intended use for those?Praxichys - 15-5-2017 at 17:42
I think that might be the sublimation chamber for the cold finger condenser.Eyeborg - 15-5-2017 at 19:57
probably get swiped in the last few sec, but sittn at 5.50$ for me now
