I once bought a lathe chuck from Amazon, when it came, it was in a
Harbor Freight box and had the Harbor Freight number on it. I stuck
the number in at HF site and up popped the exact same item for 30%
less. Made me chuckle as it was still cheap, but smart dude figured
out to list the item on Amazon and buy them at HF.

This happens on Ebay all the time - people buy HF stuff and
sell it at a higher price. Apparently there's a big enough
market of people who've never been in a HF store or seen one
of their advertisements to make it profitable.

Precisely and some people will pay extra just to avoid the HF store
smell.. ;~)
