Very important to be aware of the additional fees. Also, decide what it is worth to you before you start bidding and STOP when the
bid reaches your limit.

So true, I have seen people get caught up in the moment for Online auctions and the price eventually exceeds retail.

Technically Whitworth is one threadform and BSP is another.
Like the difference between Unc and NPT.
One is parallel, the other is tapered.
Nice find tho.

I thought Whitworth was English, not metric.

It is Whitworth on 1 side, Metric on the other.
I have one that is like that, just Imperial and metric.

Yea, guess I did not read it. Caught me again, only doing half of what I should.

Not true. BSP has Whitworth thread form. Now there are 2 kinds of BSP:
BSPP which is parallel and (commonly known as the G thread) and BSPT which is tapered.

BTW, there are also 2 kinds of NPT. There is actually a parallel NPT kind called NPS.
