Does anyone actually buy from this guy?

Saw this on eBay looking for SK sockets:

$16.19 for a Great Neck socket? Who are they kidding? I can buy a whole set of them at the local Big Lots for that price! Snap On sockets are cheaper that this.

That's nothing, check out these $600 Craftsman hammers....

Just about everything that guy sells is out of control. $50 for a plastic toolbox you can buy at sears today for $10. I'm shocked he can accumulate 900+ feedback with those prices.

In the early days of Ebay when a seller had to pay a nominal listing fee regardless if the items sells or not, sellers like this were few and far between.

Nowadays, most items do not incur a listing fee until an item sells so sellers like this can list and ask anything they want with the listing being open ended until sells.

Chum enough **** into the waters, you will eventually get the occasional ignorant idiot to bite.

It's .63 x .38 inches. Super rare. Only five left in the world.

Not all of his stuff is out there. The Sunex 3/4 impact socket set he's selling is pretty fair. Not the cheapest on ebay but close to it.

Which is exactly how the Nigerian scammers work.

Seller has over 5 million items for sale. So basically they are just a middle man and likely keep no inventory.

Maybe he sells the $600 hammers to the US Government lol.

"you don't believe they really spend 100 dollars on a hammer, 500 dollars on a toilet seat do you?"

 

[wvrailroader]

I see what my company spends on things, so yes, it is entirely possible the government does the same.

I remember the line, and and Judd Hirsch saying it, just cant remember the movie name.
And to be honest, damn close. You'd be surprised. It's not so much the item $$ amount, it's how its written into the contract.
