I've had very, very good luck on Ebay--same name, over 300 transactions (280 feedback, so well over 300 actual trans.), and only one problem, but the guy's son made good on it when I told him what I was going to do. I love Ebay! :)

When I began buying professional grade tools (1980's) there were few opportunities to buy good tools cheaply, most were sold by word of mouth, locally.

There was one professional tool seller that occasionally sold Snap On, usually sourced by buying up retiree's tooling.

The first time I looked at Snap On on ebay UK, I was surprised at how they'd lost their value on the secondhand market. Really surprised!
