that I meant to buy for months, on eBay, and when they were listed they were coming from China. NOW, they are US located, and priced to move, so I'm thinking some distributors stateside loaded up to beat the tariffs and are loaded with inventory.

de minimis enforcement might just sink eBay for good. Not only for foreign goods but because consumers go elsewhere for all items.

Benefit to Amazon. Bezos and Trump.
