I see that a lot on ebay on all different types of products. It makes no since to me why someone who is going to buy something online doesn't google it and see what the item goes for from different sources.

this bigdummy read the reviews and knows that not only did they skip certain sizes but all the sizes they do have dont fit next to the others....next

But they have Snap On stickers!

It's like adding stickers to a ricer for more HP.

10-4 there dan i have 3 sets of the HF socket trays and love em they work fine.

Hey! Don't you guys know if you put a big R sticker on your Japanese car it makes it go faster? And if you put it diagonally, then its even faster.

 

[bigdummy30]

and a "Honda "sticker ,regardless of actual make, also helps with performance.....

Sorry, but they don't always work fine. Read the reviews and you will see they don't fit all manf sockets next to each other. Did not work for some of mine, glad they worked out for you.


Back on track of the OP.... See this all the time. People just don't shop around. Hell I'd at least google that ebay set before making a bid.

We've got a local craigs list guy selling a Costco wrench set that sells for $15 listing it each day for $29!

The HF ones are junk. They are missing common sizes and you can't fit a full set of sockets on them, not enough room in between pegs.

Yep.. Its a pain when as the sizes get bigger because not all the sockets will fit, I owned a set and utilizing Wright sockets it didnt work.

Agreed.. But the OP's 2 comparisons arent too far off Price wise. Even If you went to sears and bought the Hansen sets its even closer.


Sears link: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM198325977P?sid=IDx20101019x00001a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=SPM736693201 Still cheaper thru ebay for the Socket rails themselves.

if you buy them individually from tooltopia the entire set runs about $46 + shipping. Its about a $20 difference that someone flushed because they wanted the Snap-on stock stickers.

 

[bigdummy30]

i was thinking of ordering 2 sets from tooltopia ,getting the over $100 free shipping and selling the other set on ebay....but i just know that will backfire

 

[Skin]

put "Snap-On" in the title and the SO part number in the auction and you'll be golden. Its the term people who want to overpay for rebranded items search for!

Or... Maybe they have never heard of Tooltopia and they seen that they cost $63 bucks at Sears. I dont deny that "Snap on" Stickers, Emblems bring out the Cash in People but that Auction doesnt scream "Out of line Crazy" to me.

$10 cheaper any day of the week. Dont say they dont know how to search ebay too .

 

[bigdummy30]

percentage wise its almost 25% more.....so relatively speaking its the opposite of the HF coupon....

I cant fathom why they bid it up, As i stated SO emblems bring out the Cash in people, No Qualms about it. Im only saying the Price isnt Crazy out of Line.

More like 16% Using your 2 links (Not factoring shipping because of ZipCode Difference)
