So, buy.com has been royally pissing me off for months by spamming digitals in the CRT section. But this one really takes the cake:

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-High-Performance-Sure-Start-Clear-Packaging-Tape_W0QQitemZ380149287407QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5882a9c9ef&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Packing tape? Seriously? And check out the specs on that packing tape. I'd definitely go with the XGA packing tape over the lower-end SVGA packing tape.. Rolling Eyes

I tried contacting them to bitch about their constant cross-posting, but their comment system deftly deflects everything you send. *******.

The seller left out some details, so I posted a few questions:

Could you take off the lenses, and post pictures of the tube faces of the packing tape?
Also, how would you rate the wear on the tubes, based on the "Curt Palme packing tape wear" scale?
Finally, can you tell me how many hours of use the packing tape have, and if it comes with both of the the packing tape remotes (user and setup)?
Thanks!

The 3M packing tape is much better. Smoother, tighter edge lines

Must be EM-focusing, then while the cheaper brands like Highland must be ES. Wink
