I was looking last week at oversize BXA tool holders, ones than can hold a 3/4" shank tool, where the standard BXA holders have a capacity for maximum 5/8" shanks.
On Ebay I saw that All Industrial Tool Supply had the second best prices for them, at $16.95 each plus $6.50 freight (each?), $0.15 more than Shars pricing, each, with shipping.

I had opened an account with All Industrial some months before, but had poor luck finding anything interesting in their online catalogue.

Their online catalogue only shows Aloris QCTP tooling, and gives no clue that they have great deals on imports as well. It occurred to me that I should call them and see what kind of deal I could make by ordering direct from All Industrial.
So, I called them this morning. I told them my story, gave them their part number, told them I was interested in the best possible deal on three of them, delivered, and the friendly customer service guy said after about five seconds looking at it "Well, the best I can do for you is $13.95 each plus $6.50 shipping for the three. I said yes, and I had a paid invoice in my inbox in a couple minutes.
So, I saved $9.00 and quite possibly some freight by ordering direct from All Industrial. It is not that I want to keep eBay from getting their cut (and if you believe that, I have a bridge for sale...) I will respond to this thread again after they arrive and I check them out.
I tried to look at their eBay store, but there really is no such thing. They apparently have another company doing fulfillment for them on the eBay orders. They do have more things for sale on eBay, just difficult for me to find them all.
FYI.
