I just won an auction on Ebay for 50, 4ft, 54 watt, 6500K, T5 bulbs(it's not a typo, 50). I got them for $99 with free S&H. I just started using the T5's and really like the results so I'm picking up a couple of 4ft, 8 tube, T5 fixtures without bulbs for $99 each that I also found on Ebay. I already have a 4ft, 4 bulb T5 fixture so I'll have a few extra bulbs, but it was the best price i could find. The seller has put up a new auction for the same bulbs but now has them starting at $129.99, so I don't think he was expecting them to go that cheap.

Sounds like a good deal to me! I actually need 2 T5 bulbs myself. Would you be willing to sell or trade me a couple?

Of course I would Matt. Do you just need two or do you want a few spares as well. When they come in I'll have at least 10 that I can part with.

I suppose a couple of spares would be nice too. Maybe 4 or 5 bulbs total? How much do you want for them? Or would you prefer plants?

That is a very excellent deal for sure!

If I hd the bulbs, I would take the plants from you!

Plant's sound good to me. I'll PM you when I get them and we can work out the specifics of the trade then.

Perfect!

I think you got a great deal !
