Was just wondering,

How are these stubbies (restricted to four sizes) any better than the stubby ratcheting bit holders? I have a 100-Piece S2 Bit Set which can certainly see more use.

Trying to see is someone can convince me. :drool: :D

Same. I just accepted the $11. I have a complete USA Craftsman torx screwdriver set, just wanted the stubbies

Yeah, I wasn't really in the market for these, but couldn't pass it up.

Thanks again for taking the time to post these and other deals. I've picked up several items from your posts.

BTW - love those DBE wrenches, if you want to post up more!

you are quite welcome. I comb through all the ads but there's no way I need or want all the stuff I see listed. it's done in the hopes that people will see there's a huge second-hand market of really nice US-made stuff out there, and it doesn't always have to cost a fortune.

No, actually just looking for more quality DBE wrenches at a reasonable price. Preferably with an offset so I don't duplicate the capability I already have with my combo wrenches...

Thanks again!

These don't seem to be made by Western Forge. It shows PR, perhaps prior to the acquisition by Ideal Industries. Pratt-Read?

Well, it WAS sold to me. Then the seller canceled my order and refunded my $$$! I'll bet he re-lists it for $99 buy it now.

Is there anything I can do? I suppose if I complain to eBay they will tell me to pound sand. Just frustrating to find a good deal and then someone with seller's remorse reneges.:mad:

Wow! That is annoying for sure. I've had something happen to me on Ebay before. Bought something at auction and the seller didn't like how cheap it went so refused to ship it to me when done! Not much you can do. You can call Ebay's help line and talk to them and complain if you like, but it is about an hour on hold. I had to call them once when my account had got messed up for a bit. - Paul

Bulletpruf, I have no clue on that one.
I've had it happen to me a couple times, and I just shrugged it off - one was a 23" long steel socket box I snagged for $9.00 + a minimal shipping charge because there were no other bids, the other was some oddball socket the seller said he made an error when listing (and I have no reason to disbelieve him because I've made several purchases from him.)
There was more than one S-K 3/8" drive set listed yesterday, as I recall. One of them was a metric set which looked pretty reasonable.

I don't believe there's any effective "recourse". I just watched a seller pull an item less than 12 hours before bidding closed because:
"HI I was told that one of the wrenches was not part of the original set as it was not marked with a makers name.
As there were no bids I thought I would end the sale and do some research. I did not want to get negative feedback as "not as described.
With no bids, that may have been the problem."

Screwy deal, but what can you do? I think he realized that listing it at 99 cents might not have been such a good idea, as his "buy now" price was about $50 bucks and it was obvious there was no way he was going to get anywhere near that price for it.

In the short period of time I've been using Ebay there is one thing I've figured out: there will always be another deal on the same item later. Nobody selling used tools on Ebay has anything that somebody else isn't going to pull out of Grandpa's basement at some point in the future.

Well, it WAS sold to me. Then the seller canceled my order and refunded my $$$! I'll bet he re-lists it for $99 buy it now.

Is there anything I can do? I suppose if I complain to eBay they will tell me to pound sand. Just frustrating to find a good deal and then someone with seller's remorse reneges.:mad:

Nothing you can do. The seller will get a black mark on their account that lasts 12 months (?) I think.

No, I can't leave feedback on a canceled and refunded order.

I sent him an e mail and he didn't respond. His eBay member ID is curlygold and his name is Gary Jones.

Guy is a prolific seller; has a lot of stuff on eBay now...

Bulletpruf, I have no clue on that one.
I've had it happen to me a couple times, and I just shrugged it off - one was a 23" long steel socket box I snagged for $9.00 + a minimal shipping charge because there were no other bids, the other was some oddball socket the seller said he made an error when listing (and I have no reason to disbelieve him because I've made several purchases from him.)
There was more than one S-K 3/8" drive set listed yesterday, as I recall. One of them was a metric set which looked pretty reasonable.

I don't believe there's any effective "recourse". I just watched a seller pull an item less than 12 hours before bidding closed because:
"HI I was told that one of the wrenches was not part of the original set as it was not marked with a makers name.
As there were no bids I thought I would end the sale and do some research. I did not want to get negative feedback as "not as described.
With no bids, that may have been the problem."

Screwy deal, but what can you do? I think he realized that listing it at 99 cents might not have been such a good idea, as his "buy now" price was about $50 bucks and it was obvious there was no way he was going to get anywhere near that price for it.

I have this happen to me many times. Can I report to Ebay? Yes. Do I do that? No, because it is a waste of time. I would rather spend my time looking for another deal - there will be more deals in the future. It is annoying, but on the flip side, I have bought many things that are dirt cheap. I try to buy stuffs on Ebay that I dont need immediately, so if it is canceled, oh well... I am not too upset about it

bulletpruf:

I just spent about an hour and a half on the telephone with Ebay, and learned a few things:

If a seller posts an item - let's say an incomplete Proto 1/4" drive socket set - as an "auction" item for $35.00 + $12.95 shipping:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281966779830?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
(listed 03/13 @ $35.00 + $12.95 shipping)
it's perfectly OK by Ebay if a prospective buyer makes an offer which is acceptable to the seller as a "buy now" option.

If a seller posts an item - let's say a set of vintage ignition wrenches made by an obscure 1920's radio manufacturer - as an "auction" item for 99 cents + $4.50 shipping (or $48.00 + $4.50 shipping "buy now"):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231869945539?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
it's perfectly OK by Ebay if the seller decides within 12 hours of the auction's closing that since nobody has yet bid on the item, the seller can simply pull the listing.

However, if a seller posts an item - let's say a complete 3/8" drive S-K socket set - and a buyer purchases and pays for the item, and then the seller turns around and says "the item is no longer available", Ebay might choose to look into the matter. In such an instance, however, it is the buyer that would have to contact Ebay in regard to the issue. For reasons which should be understandable, they cannot address the issue with a third party.

After being transferred to different people no less than four times, I also addressed to them a recurrent issue I have navigating their website, and their repeated attempts to download and install a third-party tracking software program (aka "malware" or "spyware") into my computer (known by filename "smart-tag.js"), for which I have no use and in which I have absolutely no interest.
After having sent dozens (if not more) messages to them regarding the matter (and not receiving any response, in spite of my requests for same), I figured I may as well bring it to their attention as long as I had them on the phone.
They were unable to resolve the matter, but have assured me they "will look into it and get back to me."

Having spent my entire working career in sales and marketing, about 17 years of that in the capacity of the buyer for a chain of retail stores, I consider myself fairly well-acquainted with what could be reasonably considered "acceptable business practices" and "customer relations".
As a relatively new user of Ebay, only having been a user of their site for five months as of today (03/15/16), and taking into consideration the volume and dollar amount of purchases made, I am presently less than pleased by the manner in which they have addressed my concerns.
In what would normally be referred to as a "good" business relationship, there exists a symbiosis between buyer and seller: the buyer's needs are fulfilled, and the seller makes a reasonable profit.
The true indicator of a seller's ability and willingness to provide "good" customer service is the manner in which they deal with the proverbial "difficult customer".
With a "100% feedback rating" as an Ebay buyer, I wouldn't consider myself to presently fall into that "difficult customer" category. As well, I doubt the few members here from whom I have made purchases would consider the transactions to have been "difficult".

Again, I am presently less than pleased with the response (or rather lack thereof) that I got today on the phone. Had it been any of the hundreds of vendors I dealt with on a daily basis in the past, I would have simply flipped through my Rolodex, contacted another sales representative, and done a line change-over and gone with a different vendor.

So until, and if, Ebay chooses to address my concerns in a timely manner, this may well be my last post in this thread, and quite possibly the end of my business relationship with Ebay.
