Any gear out of stock due to China situation?

[Marie13]

I’ve been in international shipping for a long time, so I’ve gotten curious about what’s available or not.

Had anyone seen any gear shortages yet due to the coronavirus situation?

I was measuring my face for a mask the other day and my husband was questioning why I was measuring from the bridge of my nose down to my chin. He said that I had it all wrong. I said that's how the manufacturer said to measure it. We got into a heated argument about whether that was the right way to measure for a mask. Then he finally realized I wasn't measuring for a scuba diving mask. LOL.

I bought a new 50lb doubles wing last year on ebay for $177. (It is actually pretty nice.....) At the time there were dozens and dozens for sale. I recently went back to my prior purchase history to find a link to the one I got and noticed that there are now none. Zip.... Some 30s and below still, but no 50s. Wierd.

I also wonder what a sudden spike in people with pneumonia on O2 in hospitals might do to oxygen prices.....

I buy stuff from alibaba or aliexpress very frequently. So far I have not had any unusual troubles...although I do have a heated magnetic stirrer that's a couple days overdue. The stir bars showed up but not the main machine. Not uncommon for shipping times to be slightly erratic though.
