what is Tool Repo?

[Deafautotech]

my snap on guy had tool repo box of tools... i did found snap on deep sockets which i would like upgrade but my snap on guy want 150 dollars... so i am looking around it and bought snap on oxygen sensor wrench which i need it for 3/8dr instead use 1/2dr.... 20 dollars for it... i did found the tools what i would like buy but i just felt like i would waste my money if i buy other one while i am already had one....

Tool repo is when tools are not payed for and the snap-on guy takes them back.

oh ****! oh no i bought the tool from other tech who dont make payment and i paid full what i find the tools that i need (which i only found what i want 20 dollars oxygen sensor wrench). i am owe nothing to my snap on guy...

i am dont feeling bad for other tech who dont make pay because business are business!! if i need the tool then i have to pay full once so i dont have to make worry about payments...

Swapmeet near me has a guy every weekend with a dozen or so bins of SnapOn all pretty much 30% of new price.

Orange Coast College, near the Orange fair grounds off the 55 fwy, every Sat and Sun, 7-3 I think, guy is in the second row from the west side entrance.

Top of table are bins of wrenches and sockets, kits and air tools below it. I haven't checked his prices on a all the different stuff, just sockets, so prices may vary. Booth is full all weekend with mechanics buying stuff, so must be pretty decent.

I've done a little write up on each of the local swapmeets;

Most of the time a dealer resells a repo they want what the guy owed on it, which is usually almost full price. For example, I have seen an aluminum jack that was all beat up and he was only knocking $20 or $30 off new price.
