i guess enough people think that a wood handle and saw blade should
fetch lots of money

And "vintage" saws on ebay and bonanza must be inflated due to some
collector frenzy

I thought i'd find a used saw for cheap but now I am gonna get a
new 1 or 2

And vintage seems to be anything that just looks old. Dirt and rust
and abuse seems to make it vintage


It's been said before - don't sell yourself short - take a look at Harbor
Freight. Perfectly good quality saws.

Warning: Phrasing Police In The Vicinity

What does "don't sell yourself short" have to do with buying tools at HF?

Shouldn't it be "don't sell Harbor Freight short" since it's the quality of HF tools you are referring to, not the quality or abilities of Electric Comet?
