Better value to be found elsewhere...

The stair edging is satisfactory for my application; however, the painted finish leaves much to be desired.  The item is terribly, terribly over-priced.

The quality doesn't really merit the cost of $11.95 (I see that they are less expensive after the 4th.)  I ended up taping two together so that when the wind blew the printing showed on both sides.
Not really a good value in my opinion.

So so...hard to find a good portable speaker inexpensively, apparently.  Because I chose this over the iHome everyone was saying was a piece of junk.  This has merely ok sound, but the volume doesn't go all that much higher than my laptop's volume, which is non Dolby, and so that was the point.  I'm not going lower than 3 stars because of the price, but if this is a real need I'd save my pennies for a better quality one.  See that the full retail price is $34.99, I'd certainly have given a lower rating if I'd paid that much!  The Bose one is $199, maybe I'll put that on my wish list, you never know unless you try, right?

First of all, this is a fantastic collection and a great value.

Regarding the so-called value--you have to watch the price on this as it fluctuates wildly! I got it for a mere $77, but I've seen it as high as $120. As I write this review it is not even available as a "Fulfilled by Amazon" purchase at this time, which is how I purchased it only a week and a half ago. Why this is all over the place like this is a wonder. But for what I paid, it was only a few dollars more than the 3-title Vixen Collection, which is going for $63. Add Faster Pussycat for $35, and you're over $90. And here you're getting all of them except the classic Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and the obscure 7 Minutes. [Note: BVD is available for a mere $13 as part of a 4 disc set called "Classic Quad Set 9" here on Amazon and is well worth it, as the "official" release goes for a whopping $50--damn they love to stick to the RM fans and right where it hurts!].

But beware: these WILL NOT play on a USA store-bought stock dvd player that has not been modded to be all-region. I have a toshiba dvd player/recorder that I got 2 yrs ago and a panasonic bluray player that I just got just 4 months ago and these won't play on either. I rolled the dice and hoped they would work, but did not. I'm going to end up ripping and re-burning them to dvd+r's on my iMac to erase the region encoding until I get a region-free player. If you want to start watching these right away, make sure your player can be modded to all-region, or buy one that definitely can or already is. I searched online, but could not find codes for either of my 2 units--such is life.

This issue aside, the films are exactly as advertised: pure Russ Myer! What more can be said?
I only deducted one star (reluctantly) because those cheap bastards at Arrow Films don't have this available in good ole' USA region 1 format and force us to jump through hoops to see 'em with this muliti-region BullS***. For movies that are 100% pure Americana in origin, theme and everything else,, this is re-goddamn-dicoulous...

Anyone have any suggestions for that region-free player I'll be getting?

This has a tilt sensor, which is very useful, and relatively rare on the market.  Thus I don't know what component it has in the pricing of this product (I hope it's good quality), BUT even with that considered, the rest of the value is in question.  Meaning; the build quality is poor.  The product arrived with the very minimal rubber pads not stuck properly on the inside (Where it mounts to the handle) vs a full piece of rubber, that I would have expected.  In fact, two of the pads were stuck on the plastic packaging.  Furthermore, the plastic is low grade, feels cheap (not a UV rated resin) and it's quite doubtful it has been tested for longevity in weather.  I am wondering what the product will be like after a summer and winter.  Lastly, this uses batteries.  It really should be a rechargeable unit (for the environment) but I do realize that there are currently none on the market.  Still, I believe this light is priced using the Weber name, but not Weber quality.  I'll report back after this summer to let you know what the item condition is.

I don't know where these prices came from! This is identical to a Numark PT-01 portable turntable, which sells for less than $100 everywhere. It's a plastic battery-powered turntable with a ceramic cartridge and a sapphire needle (not as hard as diamond, so wears out quickly), intended for trying out records at the used record store. This is a handy little gizmo for casual use, but I certainly wouldn't play my records on it regularly. Yes, you can make digital "copies" via USB, but with audible rumble, distortion,  and poor fidelity. Compared to almost any magnetic phono cartridge, the ceramic cartridge in this thing has very limited frequency response, and very heavy tracking force, That combined with the non-adjustable tonearm will eventually grind your record grooves to dust. Get a real belt-drive or direct-drive turntable with a metal platter and an adjustable tonearm of the proper length to do high-fidelity transcriptions. Don't get one with a "DJ" tonearm (a too-short straight arm) or a "DJ" cartridge (designed for heavy tracking forces and lots of abuse like back-queueing). Get a table engineered specifically for high-fidelity playback, like they made throughout the '70s and '80's before CDs arrived. Technics, Audio-Technica, Stanton, Numark, and a few others still make pretty good new ones at reasonable prices. There are many other "audiophile" turntables available at unreasonable prices, but that's a matter of taste and commitment. Consider buying a good used one to find the level of quality you want. Buy a decent Audio-Technica elliptical diamond cartridge for around $30 and a Behringer UFO-202 USB phono preamp for $30...you're in business. You'll never regret these purchases!

Sorry to have disappointed the two reviewers who were expecting some kind of $$$ value assignments to each machine mentioned. The book is, in fact, a "download" of my 40 years of experience, owning and riding vintage Hondas. I tried to follow the conventional format of the other MBI guides, but other people were mixed into the editing process along the way. Due to some page count restrictions, some of the "ratings" boxes of each machine were deleted.
Owning, maintaining and riding the vast majority of the bikes mentioned gave me a chance to share that experience with others through this book. The sheer number of models that Honda produced through those years is more than can be included in one of these small guide books. I included most of the notable models, with some cautions or recommendations about ownership, wherever I could.
The rapidly changing collector bike market affects the dollar value of these bikes, greatly. Trying to peg a fixed value in the book, would be shooting at a moving target. On the whole, all of the bikes have risen in value since publication. In some cases, aftermarket parts have been produced in small numbers to meet the demand, but the Honda factory no longer supports machines over 10 years out of production. Current restoration costs greatly exceed the "market value" of the bikes, when completed, in most cases. ...
I am continuing to focus on the 250-305cc model Hondas, built from 1960-67 and will have new offerings on those machines soon.

pros:
functional--useful as a (somewhat) more affordable supplemental back-up battery

cons:
price--too high of a price point, i bought one of the last ones sold by amazon for $20, anything more than $35 seems too much for this when you compare it to other, more robust UPSs.

design--never been a fan of upward facing outlets--they are dust catchers and fire hazards, gotta plug up the ones not in use. i understand there is a battery in there, but it's still rather bulky and difficult to fit or hide, they could do much better, and they did with APC-BGE50ML, but then they went and charged even more for that (you could buy a portable battery pack and a better UPS for its price).

alarm/sound--extremely loud beep occurs when the power trips/goes out, it is startling, and almost deafening if you are nearby, it is much louder than my other, larger UPSs.

My review was based on purchase of this item at a MUCH LOWER PRICE.  In October of 2011 I bought 10 of them at a price of $1.99 each, with free shipping. It's not right to apply my five-star review to a different offering of the product, which costs 4 times as much.  Just not right, I tell you.  The original review shows how important the price was:

The old mains-powered always-on exit signs use two bulbs, and they are now close to $5 each at the local hardware store.  And they don't last very long (typically around 4 months I think) so that's a big chunk of the maintenance budget.  Only comparable ones I found were 40W, which causes a different problem.  Mostly LED signs have been used for the last 10 years or so, but that is an expensive conversion--  sure, conversion cost is offset by low running cost eventually, but I'm in rented premises for only another three months. Supplier is good, efficient, and a pleasure to deal with.

Better pricing elsewhere--HD, Lowe's, etc Seems overpriced and is the only alternative I have found for side panels that are rotting.
I guess the mfg of A/c's figure you'll buy a new a/c rather than mess with this.

This flashlight is certainly not bad - USB charger port, decent quality Li-Ion battery pack and well made. But at $90, it just doesn't feel worth the price. While well made, it isn't up there with the Streamlights of the world. There are multiple no-name alternatives on Amazon for much, much less.

The MicroUSB charger port is a nice touch, but poorly implemented as you need to unscrew the entire lens head to reach the port, and do this enough, and the seal will probably suffer.

So - good light, decent quality, at $50 too expensive.

As advertised , you can find a better price online if you shop around

Nice, but if I saw these in the store, I wouldn't have paid anywhere near the listed price.

Worked alright but I found a better deal locally.

Really nice looking plane, severely overpriced, but so are Stanley Sweetheart products made in Mexico.  The issue is, if you do like I did and buy the optional high degree frog (for figured wood) and an extra blade, then you're going to be out well over $400.00.  The Japanning chipped on mine just from bumping on a Baltic Birch shooting board during the first few minutes of use.  Not too impressive for a Cadillac tool.  I also don't like A2 steel used in the blade.  Doesn't seem to hold an edge much better than my Stanley blades.  In fact, it doesn't cut any better than any of my properly honed and setup Stanley planes from England.

Lie-Nielsen does make some rare models no longer available by reputable makers, and that's why I will still add a couple more specialized planes from their lineup.  But at a time when even China made products are being sold to the public at American prices, yet still not the quality of American craftsmanship, Lie-Nielsen needs to stop gouging the public.  Woodcraft no longer carries this line in my city because of the gouging.  And though there is probably a lot of QC and hands-on work to complete their pieces, much of the tricky stuff is done by computerized machinery operations.

Although Veritas (made in Canada) is pricy in itself, I will seek to buy from that company's offerings first, before plopping down so much for a hand tool.  On the upside, I do know this LN plane will outlast me.  It's a shame the consumers have been so conned all these years.  There's also the Wood River brand from Woodcraft - but again it is made in China and is not much cheaper than the LN stuff.  What made the old Stanley Bailey Bedrock planes great, was that the common guy could afford them AND they were top notch.  Makers like Lie-Nielsen and Clifton have made it almost impossible for the person of average means to justify buying a quality tool.

The first thing I have to note here is the crazy price amazon seller are charging for this! $72.75??  That is a huge jump up from just around th 40 dollars amazon charged before they ran out of stock.  I bought mine at Home Depot for 49, those resellers are really overcharging for this thing.  The number of stars I gave it doesn't take that into account, but my personal opinion for anyone looking is that while this is good, it's NOT worth 72 dollars at all, and you can get it much cheaper.

The reason I give this product 4 stars is because it finds the center of the stud, and it does so fairly well.  That's better than my old cheaper stud finder which just found the edge, and you'd have to calculate where you think the center is.  The consistency with this is good, but not great- if I try multiple times the center is generally in the same spot, sometimes there is a little variation but overall pretty good.  But sometimes the signal gets weak and it thinks the stud is too deep even when I know it's not.

The AC finder is the main area where it did not perform well for me though.  It seemed to just find spots randomly- getting a positive in one spot once, and then nothing the next time I treid the same spot.  I'd put it all around an outlet with active appliances and get nothing sometimes.  For me, its poor enough that I don't feel I can rely on it whatsoever.  If I could give it 3 1/2 stars I think I'd go with that.

Still, I bought it to find studs, and if that's what you're buying it for, it works- and the marker is a useful touch.  I believe there is a cheaper model (the i65) for much cheaper which finds the center too though, and it got good reviews on Amazon.  If it finds the center as well as this one, I'd say buy that one over this.

EDIT:
I just realized my review should go with the Zircon 61962/61963, not this model.  but from the looks of it, they appear to be the exact same product, I can't tell what differences there are if any.  Maybe the newer model has a different firmware that works better?

The tool kit is fine, but the price exceeds the sum of the 'necessary' tools. I use the word 'necessary' because if you're buying this tool set, you probably already own some of the basic items like hex wrenches, screw drivers and plastic tire-remover levers. Also, the tool box is cheap and adds no extra value.
I would suggest that if you're considering buying this product, do an inventory on the components that you really need, and see if you can buy them individually for a smaller total price.
