Picked up a Dewalt 733, 12 1/2" planer(VERY little use) and a 18 volt XRP
Dewalt Drill/circular saw set for $445. The drill set was just bought
yesterday from Lowes and had not been used(still had cash register receipt
attached). There was a note on the bottom of the receipt that you had to
wait for 10 days for cash back. The guy paid $399 for it. One might
ask,"why not take it to Lowes and wait for 10 days and then ??....". Well,
those nuns taught me better. The planer had new-looking knives and all the
tools. Ran a piece of hardwood through it and it came out like the knives
were new. The two were labeled in the pawn shop for a total of $500.
That's about it.

Friend of mine owns a stationary store. They often get calls from a
thousand miles away from someone buying printer cartridges. They don't even
ask the price so they know it is a scam. Seems like certain products make
easy targets as the merchandise is easily sold at a deep discount.

Be wary as it can often be traced to you if you buy the stuff from the
theives.
