Buy New Tools on eBay
I recently started browsing eBay in hopes of running across deals on new and used tools. I ran across a Ryobi 3/8" VSR D40 Drill (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESE:IT&ih=019) for $5.99 which retails at Home Depot for $24.99 and a Ryobi Cordless Circular Saw (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESE:IT&ih=019) for $18.99 which retails for $59.99 at Home Depot, so I know that these are deals. Curious to know what I should bid for 14" Cut off Saw (http://cgi.ebay.com/14-Cut-Off-Saw-M...QQcmdZViewItem) |

Good Luck, Ronnie |

Interesting that both of these are offered by the same seller, located in Bloomfield CT... and GeoBytes traces the IP address you posted from to an ISP in Bridgeport. Coincidence? -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

Nah, it *couldn't be*! A shill? On Usenet? We'll see if "Cindi" posts any responses. If you check out the OP's posting history you'll see it's unlikely that it's a shill/scam. There's also so little money involved it wouldn't be worth anyone's time. Instead of getting bottom of the line new tools, think about buying better quality gently used tools. You'll pay the same or maybe just a little bit more, but you'll get far better tools. To determine how much you should pay for a particular tool, search completed auctions for the exact model number (or brand and tool type). You'll get a good idea of what people are paying. R |

Buy New Tools on eBay
If you look at the completed auctions by this seller, the highest bid he
got was about $15 and most were in the $10 range. Feedback looks ok to me, this guy does a volume biz and it looks like he is an eBay Harbor Freight type retailer, lots of cheap imported junk. You make the descision. Cindi wrote: Curious to know what I should bid for 14" Cut off Saw (http://cgi.ebay.com/14-Cut-Off-Saw-M...QQcmdZViewItem) |

Buy New Tools on eBay
If you have a Sears Repair center near you, They usually have a good
selection of remanufactured tools. The one near me carries brands such as DeWalt, Ryobi, Milwaukee, Sears, and others also. Can find some very good buys there on drills, drivers, routers, saws, along with other small hand tools. Not counting rebuilt yard equipment and quite a bit more, They give the same guarantee as new. Well worth a couple trips a month to see what all they have new in the store. Not associated with them, just an occasional shopper. CC "Cindi" wrote in message oups.com...
