You can just get another generator for your stove if you want to run the unleaded, it is a direct replacement. Or you can just keep cleaning the one that is there. The only down side is the smell and soot from the additives. Or just get the propane adapter and hose to your bulk tank (you should get one of those anyway). I have two gallons of white gas in the garage that will last me years at the rate I use it.

Be real careful Slow with any selling on "E-Pray". One little mistake with the description and you could run into trouble with bidders and IF I remember right I think you have to pay for listings now a days. Also I would be cautious about listing a low reserve it could come back and bite you in the behind!

My #1 rule that I have for myself when bidding on “E-Pray” is do I really want to spend what my maximum bid is?

Also if burning gas in a duel fuel lantern keep in mind that you will have to clean the generator often, it stinks ,and they were not meant to run on gas with ethanol in it you will have to buy premium gas.

I agree about FleaBay..

Not what it used to be. I was a power seller on there until it got silly. People holding you hostage for feedback to get free shipping , stolen parts and pieces, and the non responsive Support center was icing on the cake.

No longer the friendly, happy place it once was. :thumbdown:

But if you happen across the strange and bizarre (Jesus Toast and/or overhyped, discontinued snack foods) by all means...

I always find that people "shut in" by winter weather are searching for entertainment. Whenever my wife has sold items on Ebay, they have always done better in winter. Folks just don't seem to have anything better to do. I try to avoid buying anything that may be even slightly collectable during winter. Seasonal items like camping gear are best bought at the end of the season before the "shut in" starts.
