I agree with Sawdustguy. If you need one don't hesitate to buy from stirstarters.com. I just bought a stir plate from stirstarters.com through ebay and couldn't be happier. I was planning to buy through his website, but saw he had an auction up, so I decided to bid and ended up winning. The stir plate was $26 + $8 shipping + $25 for a 2000 mL flask. He was very quick about responding to emails and shipping. I bought the item over the weekend and it shipped Monday and got to me on Wed. or Thurs. It was very well packed and I've had no issues with it (however, I haven't owned it very long).
I like to support vendors that get good reviews in the forum and vendors that are active in the forum. So far I am 2/2 with great vendors (AHS and Stirstarters).
