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.


Quite a few E-Bay sellers sell what they don't own, and go pick up
what they sell. Others just order from their supplier and drop ship to
the buyer - they never even see the product.

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.
