Geomags, Supermags, Magnetix...need Ebay help

[cruisnfamily]

My last Christmas question of the day.

What's the difference between these three types of cool magnets for kids? We have some of the geomags and I'm looking to add on. Are they all the same but just different brands?

Thanks!

Edited to add: Read my post below, looking for some ebay info.

Ok, I have researched magnets well (we sell toys on ebay).

We primarily sell Magz and Supermag. Personally the Supermag company is wonderful to deal with, and they send wonderful catalogs. Magz is good as well, and their commercial prices are a little better than Supermag.

We did/do sell both brands, and they do well. We also sell some less expensive off brands as well, and they sell also. Supermag has great tension, and made well. Magz works well also.

The off brands work also, but are a little less sturdy.

My kids interchange all sets, and they all work together.

Can somebody educate me on ebay?? I'm looking at a bunch of Geomag sets(several pages worth) listed on Ebay for .01GBP which is equivalent to .02 US dollars. That can't be right When you click on each one it says "sim buy" or something like that. Is there something I'm missing? Or can I bid like $1 or something and see if I can get these things really cheap? How do you know what the reserve amount is?

Thanks! Sorry, I'm uneducated on Ebay.

Here's a link to what I'm talking about:

bumping to see if anyone can explain these Ebay auctions to me....I'm afraid to bid.

Also, have any of you heard of Magz? They're significantly cheaper, are they also interchangeable?
