    It's not just 1 that causes the damage. It is when a child swallows several at one time or over a course of time. They can suddenly snap together in the digestive tract causing internal injuries and in most cases death.

    But i agree with you. If you are a parent you protect your child. Placing plastic plug things over outlets, cabinet hooks, ect. You don't leave dangerous magnets at toddler level.

    Might as well leave a loaded hand gun on the table.

    I just tried to list a small lot this evening. Blocked. Changed wording in the title and description. Changed category. No dice. I see listings but have no idea how they are making it up

    I saw one listing like that for sure. Grandfathered I bet.

    I am wondering when this is going to end.

    Ok, why would a young kid be on ebay.. when You've to have an acct.? Don't parents check up on there kids... I think this is foolish...

    The keyword Magnet probably got banned on ebay.. so list them as Mag - Net From HDD.. and You should be ok. Good Luck..

    Probably until they find a way to separate the dangerous ones from the rest

    Just sold a listing with "Hard Drive Rare Earth Magnets" in the title and body of the listing. Had to pull the word neodymium off the listing to get it to take.

    Gat the "call" from fleabay today.. "Your auction has been pulled for listing violations" We o not allow sales of recalled items..??? I tried to explain "these" were not 'recalled' items, and was threatened with account suspension.
    I do a quick search for "rare earth magnets" and receive almost 5000 results.. UHG!
    MORONS are eeeeeeeverywhere

    Thank you for posting this. I was just thinking about the 20 pounds of magnets in my garage and what to do with them. I was actually thinking about putting two in my mouth but I'm sure glad I didn't.

    Why would anyone want to do that??

    On another note, we have 3 buyers now that are buying H.D. magnets, check them out in the "Buyers & Sellers" section

    I have a solution! You can make a pet vest for rednecks that like to keep their coon hound in the back of the pickup. Just get a doggie vest large enough to fit the animal and sew on about 100 magnets. The dog will be sure to stick to the side of the pickup bed when the driver has to make sudden stops to pickup roadkill (or scrap metal). Actually, you can walk the dog down the street wearing the vest and all the scrap metal will stick to the dog so you don't have to stoop down to pick it up.

    Crazier things have sold on ebay so you never know

    When my then 18 month old daughter opened a childproof bottle of liquid Tylenol the ER staff told my wife the same thing. Well, first they told her her explanation was impossible. When she told them to give our daughter a bottle she open their childproof device also. That is probably what kept CPS from visiting. Now it would be nice if my wife were a good and perfect parent but I will continue to love her as the imperfect human she is.

    The good news is that my daughter spilled way more than she consumed and there was no harm or injury. BTW my daughter is now 28 with a 2 year old of her own. Yeah, they are quick little buggers. Faster than you think.

    A jerk? I don't know. Ignorantly throwing your opinion out on an internet forum? Yeah, pretty much.
