wanted it badly? or did not check its value on the website.

 

[mrshaun]

well you can never tell what people will pay for stuff on ebay.

 

[mrshaun]

or he had someone bid it up to keep it from going too low.... you never know what you are dealing with

 

[Ed_EOD]

It almost seems like some people don't know how to buy from anywhere other than eBay.

 

[Ed_EOD]

or he had someone bid it up to keep it from going too low.... you never know what you are dealing with

He still would lose money because ebay will take their cut since it sold.

 

[mrshaun]

he didnt lose money. I bet he gets his tools from an industrial source at the industrial price. he sells to low to be a dealer.....

 

[mkdive]

$101 for a F80......

Seems to be a lot of these ebay extremists,
$350 for a damaged box + freight shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Roll...tZMotors_Automotive_Tools?hash=item5d280a89cc
$359 for the same exact, brand new box http://www.toolboxesdirect.com/tool...binets/excel7drawerballbearingtoolcabinet.cfm

There are people out there that think they can't buy some stuff such as snap on products because they are not in the trade. They will pay stupid prices as they have no idea what the real cost is. Most of us are sensible to check companys web sites before we bid on stuff as we know we can just buy from there, some people don't realise they can.
The really worrying thing is what are stupid people doing with tools

My only thought was even though the picture didn't show it, maybe it was one marked USA and a collector wanted it.

 

[Paullew]

That seller offers worldwide shipping stated in the ad. That helps.

 

[glenmore]

That may be it! Someone taking advantage of the strong Euro (while it lasts anyways!)

 

[Art From De Leon]

The same thing applies at pawn shops, which is why the printed price list will be sorely missed.

 

[dodger]

I saw that and the T72 that went for 81.50. I didn't think about the whole international shipping scenario.

 

[fordbroncodave]

wow! they payed more for that then you could get it off the truck

 

[glenmore]

The guy is a pretty big time seller, over 10,000 feedback and only ONE negative.

You pay extra for foreign shipping, so it must be a weak dollar/strong foreign currency scenario.

 

[maxipouce]

101$ is now equal to 74€, that's quite pricey for a 3/8 ratchet, I think we should add this factor;
"no snap-on dealer in my country I have to cope with the few us sellers that ship abroad".

 

[bgott]

I bought one of those for $38 or so a few weeks ago, no body else bid on that particular ratchet. There were other F80s for sale at the time for more money and multiple bidders. The only reason that I could see was that the seller disclosed that the ratchet had scratches and everbody wants a perfect ratchet. The funny thing is, you had to use a magnifying glass to see any scratches.

 

[Zrexxer]

Here's another example... this set of T-handle hex drivers just closed for $167.50 + $12.99 S/H... the set number is clearly visible in the pictures, which when looked up on Snap-On's website, lists for $79.30 with free shipping... 23 bids - WTF???

You just gotta love those bidding wars....

 

[glenmore]

Why can't they ever get into a fight over the stuff I'm selling?
