Wow ... it went for $183.53 ... brand new set ...

The 10-19 Flank Drive Plus sets seem to go for $200 incl S+H on a regular basis. Since this one is not a flank drive plus set, even including the 20mm wrench the price doesn't surprise me. What surprises me is when people pay over over list for something they could just order from the manufacturer or one of the tool sites. I found one guy who had hundreds of listings that looked like a toolwarehouse.net list, but at slightly higher prices. Each listing was complete with 'copy and paste' descriptions...

This set is over $300 off the truck.

It was $263 on the Snap-on website, so what's the big deal?

With tax it'd be about 280 (in my county). That's a fair good amount over new, but not a huge incentive not to support my dealer.
