I just noticed that in "gloves."
I actually wanted a couple of dozen simple thick cotton gloves of a kind that has been around for centuries and I couldn't find them. These were for a temporary work crew. I had expected to find them for about $1.00 each in quantity. Anyway I went to Walmart and bought $2.00 leather palmed gloves, but I know if these are tossed into a washing machine they will deteriorate.
Later I went back to Amazon and tried some different keyword searches and found more cotton gloves that will probably do.

Being curious I looked under work gloves and under tools and home improvement for cotton gloves. Something like 233 pages of results each I think.
The big problem I saw was when you sorted by price the cheaper gloves are sold in lots of 8-60 (one example was 60 pairs for around 23.00) so often the higher priced items are shown first. (Single pair of gloves at $5.00 appears before case of 60 pairs for $23.00)
I think this is the venders choice as I have seen things advertised at single item price where you had to buy a case but I could be wrong.
I am often confused by Amazon and totally befuddled by EBay. But I have friends who are perceived by many to be about as smart as sticks who glory in them. My biggest use of Amazon is getting things that are hard to find elsewhere.
