I see that a lot on ebay on all different types of products. It makes no since to me why someone who is going to buy something online doesn't google it and see what the item goes for from different sources.

Hey! Don't you guys know if you put a big R sticker on your Japanese car it makes it go faster? And if you put it diagonally, then its even faster.

10-4 there dan i have 3 sets of the HF socket trays and love em they work fine.:)

Sorry, but they don't always work fine. Read the reviews and you will see they don't fit all manf sockets next to each other. Did not work for some of mine, glad they worked out for you.


Back on track of the OP.... See this all the time. People just don't shop around. Hell I'd at least google that ebay set before making a bid.

We've got a local craigs list guy selling a Costco wrench set that sells for $15 listing it each day for $29!

The HF ones are junk. They are missing common sizes and you can't fit a full set of sockets on them, not enough room in between pegs.

Yep.. Its a pain when as the sizes get bigger because not all the sockets will fit, I owned a set and utilizing Wright sockets it didnt work.

Agreed.. But the OP's 2 comparisons arent too far off Price wise. Even If you went to sears and bought the Hansen sets its even closer.


Sears link: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM198325977P?sid=IDx20101019x00001a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=SPM736693201 Still cheaper thru ebay for the Socket rails themselves.

if you buy them individually from tooltopia the entire set runs about $46 + shipping. Its about a $20 difference that someone flushed because they wanted the Snap-on stock stickers.

put "Snap-On" in the title and the SO part number in the auction and you'll be golden. Its the term people who want to overpay for rebranded items search for!

Or... Maybe they have never heard of Tooltopia and they seen that they cost $63 bucks at Sears. I dont deny that "Snap on" Stickers, Emblems bring out the Cash in People but that Auction doesnt scream "Out of line Crazy" to me.

$10 cheaper any day of the week. Dont say they dont know how to search ebay too ;).

I cant fathom why they bid it up, As i stated SO emblems bring out the Cash in people, No Qualms about it. Im only saying the Price isnt Crazy out of Line.

More like 16% Using your 2 links (Not factoring shipping because of ZipCode Difference)
