If they retail at $45, why would you bid a little over a hundred?

 

[LawnDart79]

Looks like those bidding have more money than brains.

I'm yet to figure out the fascination people have with the colors...I don't get it. To each his own I guess.

 

[05CarbonDRZ]

Because It's the last Green Dead Blow I need to complete my set,I thought $100 was a CRAZY high bid that I would FOR SURE win it.

I'll take two please!!

 

[MoToys]

maybe my green ball peen deadblows will fetch this kinda money in the near future.

 

[balane]

I'm out of the loop for snap on dead blow hammers. I'm assuming Snap On no longer makes this color? If they're such in demand is there a reason it was discontinued or is this just a freak occurrence?

...crazy...

 

[jhelrey]

Starting bid... $9.99. I am sure the owner is not believing it.

Really? I look at it as Fuel for their fire!

 

[domain]

I would never pay 5+ times as much as something brand new costs for a color. This is insane.

 

[wornoutoldman]

As a tool purchaser I know for a fact that when the time comes to liquidate my tool collection (for whatever reason) there will be much residual value in them thanks to the snap on legacy. We don't even need to discuss how awesome they are in use.

 

[Catalyze]

The folks bidding on it aren't beginners or shills it looks like. Some with over 1K feedback and still bidding. It would appear that all they are making are Red colored ones now. Maybe green Snap On dead blows are like The Green Lantern ring....they give you super powers to smack the **** out of stuff and not have it bounce back and break your mask. No clue.

HBFE24G, part number for the green still works on the website for $45...

 

[killert]

Just bought one for 45$ off the snap on website

 

[dwm]

It's humorous that people can learn to bid on eBay but not how to put a part number in Snap-On's web site search.

 

[Roots]

Because It's the last Green Dead Blow I need to complete my set,I thought $100 was a CRAZY high bid that I would FOR SURE win it.

Again, why wouldn't you just pay Snap on $45?

Snap On Search: HBFE24G

They currently show, as In Stock. Craziness indeed...

I like the colors. That hammer would go great with the screwdriver that sold for over $100 today. It's only black though.

^ wtf. thats so stupid. Some people must have extremely deep pockets. I have a feeling this ratchet will go very high too. Its from the same seller.

He still needs to get paid. The high bidder could possibly figure things out, back out and take the ebay penalty or possibly that was the seller's buddy helping to drive up the cost against an aggressive bidder and it bit them in the ****. I wouldn't be counting me eggs until the funds were safely in my account. The whole thing just seems out of line to me.

Color doesn't make that hammer perform any better.

I really understood this lesson when my neighbor was spray painting his BRAND NEW straight-from-the-car-lot Wrangler primer gray. He looked at me when I asked why and replied, "The color doesn't make it any less of a Jeep."

He was right. I still thought he was crazy though.

Odd, I had looked it up just before you posted this and it said there were 2 in stock. After your post, I checked again and it says 3 in stock. I like the colors. Are you going to 'flip' it? Somebody will try it. My look isn't that good. I'd end up with $135 green hammers hanging on the wall. Which would be ok, the tool budget is blown for the week already though.
Then there's this one, which must make no excuses for it's color; went for 29 bucks. Go figure.

How do you figure? Some SnapOn people are crazy enough to pay over 5 times that current price of a tool? Just sad is what it is... I have nothing against SnapOn, but THIS purchaser is just retarded.

 

[cruiser808]

Opps - too late for the party. I would have paid $400.00 for it.

Yeah, too bad you missed it. Even if you were fortunate enough to have paid $400 dollars for the hammer, you still would have gotten a pretty good deal. Remember, we're talking about a snap on hammer.

holy **** sad thing is that those are in stock and i just sold the hbbd versions last week. 16 24 32 and 40 in green and orange.
some people really need to ask a dealer a question before they go nuts and blow their wad.

 

[mrshaun]

man if i could sell on ebay I would have a gold mine on my truck.
all the old hard handle screwdrivers i carry would brighten anyones day.

 

[c66miller87]

funny thing is i just bought one off the truck for less than 50 bucks. Dealer had all his hammers 10% off because he had so many. I bet he has 15 to 20 green hammers just on that one truck.

 

[canuckian]

damn! buyer could have gotten every size they come in for less than that! I just ordered a 24 oz orange one off the site. I should have bought a few green ones as well and flipped them on Ebay! The return would have funded my tool affliction for at least a few weeks!!

 

[Hoss356]

Just bought the red 16oz one for $25 from some little tool shop.

 

[mrshaun]

This guy has sold more tools than some dealers have

 

[PaulsGarage]

sheesh, fools and their money...

 

[ZRX61]

It's the same mentality that causes morons to pay $25 for Kawasaki parts fiches on Ebay that you can buy for $2.25 at the dealer...

 

[G U E C O]

y cant you? im sure this guy is a snap on dealer because all his tools are basically brand new. i highly doubt he would buy it directly from snap on at full retail then flip it on ebay for less (except for this item).

Snap-On will not let him. (as a rule)

I always wonder when you see something like this, and you see the seller is from Kenosha, WI
