Default Negative gloat!

I have always boasted of my great buys; so it is only fair to mention a
screw up. Maybe someone can learn from it.

I bought a set of reconditioned Dewalt 36v tools on Ebay for $480. That is
$75 less than I could find them for anywhere else.
There was a packing slip on the box. The seller had bought them from Amazon
two weeks earlier for $399!
I checked Amazon today, and they have them for $399. ARRRGGGHHH!

Well, they didn't have them when I checked, and I sure don't need them now;
but they are great tools, so if anyone wants a good buy...

But you know, they are going for over $500 right now on Ebay, maybe if I
bought a few sets... nah; ain't worth the hassle for a $25 profit.
(freight, ebay expense, paypal expense...)
