I think I got a pretty good deal on a valve on ebay.

Bought a brand new Thermo valve for $15.50 plus $8.00 shipping on eBay. This was my first ever purchase on eBay. Is that a pretty good price for this valve?

Well, it's cheaper than just about all listed prices.

Since you already bought it, why worry? It was cheap.

Just curious. I can't help but believe that somethings wrong with it. How can you sell a valve for less than 20 bucks.

If you're happy with the price it was a good deal. I learned to stop looking at prices after I buy something. Something cheaper always seems to pop up..... Don't know which Thermo valve you bought, but a lot of the 200 bar DIN/yoke covertible valves are floating around new because people are making doubles out of the PST cylinders they came on. One guy I know built 12 sets of doubles for customers and had 24 valves to sell. Talk about a buyers market........

That explains it. It is a DIN valve and I'm going to have to get an insert to use it on my tank.

Nope! It's a DIN/Yoke valve...

Since this popped up, how are tank valves usually delivered "over there"? Here all yoke tank valves are DIN + fitting. But then I've heard they some places sell Yoke tanks without the fitting, so you can only use yoke 1.sts...

How is it?

But correct me if I am wrong..you have to have the insert for yoke. If it was sold without the insert then that explains a lot.

10-4!

It was sold without the insert.
