OK is it just me or does this sound crazy, a person on eBay is selling a bucket with a strainer for $70.
here it is (http://cgi.ebay.com/GILSTRAP-HONEY-EXTRACTOR-GREAT-TOP-BAR-BEE-HIVE-/300458271011?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0)
It looks like a bucket, fitted with a salad spinner. My wife tried to use a nearly identical looking salad spinner to extract cut comb last summer, but the spin mechanism couldn't really handle the weight. Maybe this one works better.
They call it a 2 gallon extractor, but the working capacity is aprox. 1.25 gal. For $70, you can take a bucket and a rope and pay some kids to spin it over their heads and do a better job.
Don't forget the 10.00 shipping. 80.00 total
use two buckets and a lowes 5gallon paint bucket stainer
It better come filled with tupelo honey for that kinda cash!

That's too much like common sense. ;) ;)
I have to say i'd save my 70 bucks and put it toward a decent extractor.

Yes it is nothing more than a bucket fitted with a salad spinner and no this one can't handle the weight of anything substantial either. If you only want to extract enough for one biscuet at a time, this "extractor" (now over $90 w/shipping) is your perfect buy. Otherwise, don't waste your time with this scam. A $14 salad spinner and a $3 bucket with a "Honey Extractor" label is all this guy is selling.
A rose by any other name . . .
