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-) TDD |

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.# ! Sparky "Red Green" wrote in message ...

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." |
