Here's a $1,399 Harbor Freight log splitter. The seller "changed oil
regularly" and wants ONLY $1,250!

What a great discount to the new price, and the oil was "changed
regularly" too...

The local favorite is a 4.5" Mastercraft angle grinder which people on
Craig's list want $40+ for, claiming "new for $49.95".

The same item comes on sale at Canadian Tire every two months or so
for $20.

I have never understood the Craig's list etiquette. Do people really
think they will get the prices they ask for?

BTW I note the guy did not insert a picture of *his* log splitter but
gave link to HF picture :-)

I have sold some items on craigslist for remarkable prices. It all depends
on the item, the buyer, and the need, just as on ebay. There are things out
there that are hard to get, have high shipping charges, are bulky, or are in
some way more attractive to buy locally. But these items we're talking
about aren't in that category, except for the stupid buyer part.
