Is it just me, or has the quality (and quantity) of tools available on EBay gone done the crapper or what? I usually take a cruise through every couple of weeks or so, and it seems that the last coupla of months it had been a struggle just to find a brand name on something other than Dewalt drill bits. It’s all cheapo knock-off garbage.
Kind of a bummer, I’ve found some pretty good deals there in the past. Picked up my Makita LS1013 there for $400. What happened?

are you doing a search by particular brand? There is defenitly a lot of Harbor Fraight type stuff thats for sure.
If not try it, if you type in Porter Cable for e.g. you will get over 125 items. Same with Milwaukee and so forth.

No kidding...I usually just do a search on "tools" or "power tools" and look at whatever comes up. Maybe I've been missing out all along! Thanks
E bay is the world biggest pawn shop, have you ever found a deal at a pawn shop.
I appreciate your concern, but you're preaching to the choir. I only buy brand new tools off of EBay for a variety of reasons...the biggest being that I'm not into walking around with someone else's goods. There are many actual tool stores that sell on Ebay.

Now that you know that you cant bid against me on anything for at least 1 month!
I have bought several tools on E-bay, and from buisnesses selling their wares on the net. I do think that e-bay can be a pawn shop but also that there are legit people selling their goods.
