Looks like they swiped the pictures from HF too. Let's see, buy them on sale at HF then sell them on Amazon. I see profit, ain't that evil capitalism a lot of fun? 8-)

There a a bunch of vendors on ebay that have been doing this for years.
....and there's undoubtedly thousands of people who will buy it from Amazon at that price. What's yer point?

Your premise is wrong. I don't need one.
He's on a crusade against evil Republican capitalists. BeeHO should step in, take all their money from them and spread the wealth around. 8-)

No, it's a private company that is an Amazon affiliate. Amazon is just the advertising vehicle (and gets a cut on the sale).
But you've give me a swell idea...
Buyer beware.
That has been going on on the local "Craig's List in the DFW area for several years! One individual (or store employee) was/is constantly reselling HF tools at a 15-20% mark-up. They don't stay long, so some uninformed must be buying them :>((. If you Flag them, the item will just show up several days later. Postings even have a ph.# !

I think we should get em on the run! Do a preemptive strike on Alaska, then our mission will be accomplished!

It's possible that HF and this vendor are buying identical items from the same Chinese manufacturer and that the pictures come from the manufacturer. HF buys in far larger quantities and can buy and sell for a lower price.
BTW, until little more than a couple of centuries ago "trade" (i.e., buying at one price and selling at a higher price) was considered immoral. (It's not illegal, of course, but "legal" is not the same as "moral.") Making, building, repairing, producing were OK, but not trading.

Well, yeah. When a friend commented on my womanizing, saying "You're gonna wear it out!" I corrected him by saying: "Nah, it's like beaver teeth - you gotta keep it worn down or it'll kill ya."
That's odd.
I thought "Buy low, sell high" was the mantra since time immemorial.
Anyone who has paid more than $35 for the HF tool should learn to clip coupons. I think I got mine for 29.95.
Offering, I can believe. But are they selling?

For the variable speed electric one?
I thought a bunch of angelic Democrat operatives already had by bombarding the evil witch Palin with legal complaints which had the effect of bankrupting the then governor who turned out not to have unlimited wealth needed to fight them off. It was revenge for murdering, skinning and eating that moose. Bullwinkle was behind the campaign against her. 8-)
