yeah, i remember one time someone bought a "mesh grille" from an ebay seller, turned out to be cheap wire. be careful when you bid on stuff like that, and e-mail the seller asking questions about it. getting ripped off = no fun.

Driving to Home Depot= $1.27
20' x 3' roll of fine mesh wire = $11.95
tin snips = $6.95

making 5 sets of "replacement grille" = 30min

selling 5 sets of "replacement grille" on ebay @ $10 each= $50

total cost= $21.68 (including cali. sales tax)

total gross revenue = $50

total income = $28.32
------------------------------------------------

sorry im at work and board. but you must say easy $28

lol
