    I stock up on eBay, too. I did go to my local Harbor Freight, but they did not have any blades.

    Harborbor Freight and Tools is very big and I bought 10 pkgs. on Saturday, thanks for sharing that they carry them. 2 per pkg. at $1.49each.

    Darn - my husband just got a catalog from HFreight and I tossed it! I'll look at the next one that comes in. That's a good deal on blades.

    Look at Harbor Freight in the Carpet Tool section. They may be sold out because the quilters discovered them and are buying all they have in stock before they raise the price on us. I checked online and they were already out of stock online.

    Thats a great deal, don't feel bad cause you think you didn't cause you did, you got quality blades. I wonder do the HF blades last any length of time? I am so hard on blades, I have one of those sharpeners and love it, but they are not as sharp as new. But my blades were pretty bad and I can use them again without any skipping. Its great.

    That ought to keep me in stitches for a long time! :lol:
    My curiosity is piqued. I wonder if they are packaged as Olfa blades or someone is selling the HF blades on E-bay. Will you let us know how they are packaged when you receive them?
