Hi everyone:
I hope it’s okay to post this here. I have what I think is a great deal on some nyogel that I’d like to share.
A sealed three-ounce tube of Nyogel 760G for $12, free U.S. shipping. But I only could get 15 tubes. So first-come, first serve. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Army tek Nyogel from Hong Kong on ebay is $13 for less than one ounce, with 3 weeks in transit. I will ship these tubes out asap first class or priority — whatever is cheaper — but delivery will beat overseas delivery by weeks.
I’m not listing/selling this anywhere else, not on ebay or craigs list or anywhere. This is for BLFers only. I’ll leave the offer here for a week or two, depending on the reaction, and I’ll notify everyone before I take it off BLF.
If you have ANY questions, please ask. If you want a tube, just say “I want a tube” in this thread. I will PM you with my paypal account name, where you can pay. PLEASE make sure your Paypal shipping address is correct. That’s where I will ship the Nyogel unless told otherwise.
I’ve never done this before on BLF, so I hope this is the right way.
As some may remember, I started a thread a ways back, asking what everyone thought was the best flashlight lube. Some BLFers thought Nyogel was a top contender. So I started to look for some way to buy it cheaper for myself because the stuff is priced like gold. I stumbled into this deal. Downside for me is that I had to buy 16 tubes to get a good price (kept one tube for myself). So I sure hope I didn’t misread BLF potential interest. Otherwise I’m stuck with THREE POUNDS of Nyogel, enough nyogel for about 6.6 million flashlights, which is about 6.567 million flashlights more than I have.
Why so cheep? Well, I was doing a bunch of cross referencing and came across some Motorcraft XG-12 grease for sale, which turns out to be Nyogel 760G packaged for Ford Motor Corp. How do I know it’s 760G? I called Nyogel in beautiful Fairhaven, Mass., and asked. According to Nye Synthetic Lubricants, this isn’t some look-alike or similar product. Motorcraft XG-12 grease is 100-percent real Nyogel 760G, just packaged for Ford. You can also cross-reference numbers through Ford’s parts web site. The same numbers are on Nye’s 760G info sheet. Of course, I also squirted some of the Ford stuff and known Nyogel on paper and did about everything to compare the two but taste it. It’s the same stuff.
Other things to be aware of:
1. The tubes are all sealed and appear to be airtight, but some have some loose labels and/or rubbing (see pictures).
2. Manufacture date is 2006. The Nyogel CS rep says Nyogel in a sealed container “at present” has no real expiration date. Ford loosely imposes a 4-year shelf life on Motorcraft greases. I couldn’t get the rep to say Nyogel lasts forever in a sealed container, but he said it lasts “a lot longer than four years.” I told him that tubes were dated 2006. He said: “They’re fine.” (I have tried this stuff, and it is GREAT!!! It’s the same consistency as army tek. In fact, not to bad-mouth other vendors, this Nyogel seems to spread on more smoothly with less congealed lumps than the other Nyogel I have. Could be a fluke or ???)
As for our international members, I’m afraid the postage will kill the deal, but I’ll offer the best deal I can. I also have to buy a shipping box for international mail. So, it will be like $14 for first-class international shipping, so $24 total for the Nyogel and shipping. Like I said, U.S. postage probably kills the deal. I’m not marking up the postage.
And once again, if you have any questions, please ask. And if you made it this far down, thanks for taking the time to read this.
