N95 masks being sold on ebay

[CountAllVotes]

I noticed that people are selling 3M 8511 N95 Protective Disposable Face Masks NIOSH Respirator 10 PACK.

I bought a box of 10 for $38.99 a few days ago and they arrived yesterday.

I have an N95 I had for use from past days and I compared it to what I received and it is a match so all the way!!

These are the real deal!

If anyone needs any of them, now is the time to get them!

Take care everyone and stay SAFE!

2. That is IMMORAL in my book....

When hospitals and essential workers are in need of these masks. Profiting off others suffering and need is IMMORAL in my book.

I have made well over 3,000 double thickness masks for Adults and children. They are FREE!!! All I ask in return for every mask requested, make a donation of $5 per mask to your local Food Banks. People are needing Food. With the holidays approaching, long lines at Food Banks stretching for miles, and monetary benefits running out due to Congressional Republicans' failure to address this in the Senate, we need to do what we can.

Anyone needing masks, send me a Private Message with your name, address, number of masks needed. I have donated myself for every mask sold. I make no money on this. Pay it forward.

8. The people selling these seem to have a huge stock

I see cases of them being purchased, not just a 10-pack.

I don't know where they got them from but ...

They are indeed 3M N95 masks.

12. Thank you...

In addition to what masks I actually sold, I have also been making monthly donations to my Local Food Bank because we have so many families in need in Olmsted County. Local Restaurants, Gyms, Schools, and other places of large gatherings now closing for 4 weeks under orders from Gov. Tim Walz, I know the best gift I can give is more money for Food.

11. These masks are not medical grade, they are for dust

They have a valve for exhaling and offer zero outlet filtatration.

But, good for you to be doing this work. Thank you

3. Do these masks have an exhalation valve?

If so, my understanding is that they should mot be used for covid-19. They do protect the wearer but not others nearby...

The cdc faq says that if you use one of these, you should cover it with an additional surgical type mask...

5. I wear a Buff over the top of it

That works ok.

I really do not go out much but when I do, I'll have several layers of protection.

4. I just looked this up

Are these the ones with the valves in the front? I thought those didn't work, as it let out air.

16. they dont protect anyone else except the one wearing it - n/t

6. Looks like $5 a piece or so nt

13. People here on the DU were buying 100 of them for $1,000

I was hoping that this info. might help them out.

15. I paid $15 for a two-pack of them last year

I need them to clean my tile bathroom with all of the toxic chemicals that need to be used. Luckily, I did not go through all of them and they were still in a sealed 3M N95 package.

Glad I had not used them as it gives me something to compare them to. They are indeed a dead match.

14. These are not for Covid, but for painting, sanding etc. Where you don't want to breathe

in small particles.

Early on some medical people used these with a mask under them.
