Looks like they swiped the pictures from HF too. Let's see, buy them on
sale at HF then sell them on Amazon. I see profit, ain't that evil
capitalism a lot of fun? 8-)

No, it's a private company that is an Amazon affiliate. Amazon is just the
advertising vehicle (and gets a cut on the sale).

But you've give me a swell idea...

That has been going on on the local "Craig's List in the DFW area for
several years! One individual (or store employee) was/is constantly
reselling HF tools at a 15-20% mark-up. They don't stay long, so some
uninformed must be buying them :((. If you Flag them, the item will just
show up several days later. Postings even have a ph.# !

It's possible that HF and this vendor are buying identical items from
the same Chinese manufacturer and that the pictures come from the
manufacturer. HF buys in far larger quantities and can buy and sell for
a lower price.

BTW, until little more than a couple of centuries ago "trade" (i.e.,
buying at one price and selling at a higher price) was considered
immoral. (It's not illegal, of course, but "legal" is not the same as
"moral.") Making, building, repairing, producing were OK, but not trading.

Well, yeah. When a friend commented on my womanizing, saying "You're gonna
wear it out!" I corrected him by saying: "Nah, it's like beaver teeth - you
gotta keep it worn down or it'll kill ya."

I thought "Buy low, sell high" was the mantra since time immemorial.

Anyone who has paid more than $35 for the HF tool should learn to clip
coupons. I think I got mine for 29.95.

I thought a bunch of angelic Democrat operatives already had by
bombarding the evil witch Palin with legal complaints which had
the effect of bankrupting the then governor who turned out not
to have unlimited wealth needed to fight them off. It was revenge
for murdering, skinning and eating that moose. Bullwinkle was
behind the campaign against her. 8-)

No. Their business mantra is: You've got it, you sell it, you've still got
it.
