Maybe this is a common Ebay tactic; buy stuff at HF, try to sell it on
Ebay for 3x to 4x the price? Hey, maybe they don't even buy them first;
if they get 15 orders, it's off to HF to buy 15 saws.

At eight bucks, I bought the first one (at HF). I only made a couple of
test cuts so far. I think it will turn out to be useful. I was able to
make a clean straight cut without too much difficulty. The toughest
thing to wrap my mind around was not cutting onthe "pull stroke", but
that I had to start the groove by pushing the saw.

Never mind Buyer Beware, it's more like Buyer Be Idiot.

The eBay descriptions for the saws include the HF part number:

HFT-94722
HFT-39273

I saw that. But it wasn't very conspicuous, nor was it obvious what it
meant. While I agree that people need to be on the lookout for ripoffs,
and I knew those were Harbor Freight saws; not everyone is knowledgeable
about everything.

On a related note, I see Bosch router motors for sale on ebay for very
little less than I recently paid for the same motor with two bases and a
case.
