I recently started browsing eBay in hopes of running across deals on new and used tools. I ran across a Ryobi 3/8" VSR D40 Drill
Curious to know what I should bid for 14" Cut off Saw
If you will send me $5.99 in cash and the drill, I'll throw them in the trash for you.

Interesting that both of these are offered by the same seller, located in Bloomfield CT... and GeoBytes traces the IP address you posted from to an ISP in Bridgeport. Coincidence?

Nah, it *couldn't be*! A shill? On Usenet?
We'll see if "Cindi" posts any responses.

If you check out the OP's posting history you'll see it's unlikely that it's a shill/scam. There's also so little money involved it wouldn't be worth anyone's time.
Instead of getting bottom of the line new tools, think about buying better quality gently used tools. You'll pay the same or maybe just a little bit more, but you'll get far better tools.
To determine how much you should pay for a particular tool, search completed auctions for the exact model number (or brand and tool type). You'll get a good idea of what people are paying.
RIf you look at the completed auctions by this seller, the highest bid he got was about $15 and most were in the $10 range. Feedback looks ok to me, this guy does a volume biz and it looks like he is an eBay Harbor Freight type retailer, lots of cheap imported junk. You make the descision.

If you have a Sears Repair center near you, They usually have a good selection of remanufactured tools. The one near me carries brands such as DeWalt, Ryobi, Milwaukee, Sears, and others also. Can find some very good buys there on drills, drivers, routers, saws, along with other small hand tools. Not counting rebuilt yard equipment and quite a bit more, They give the same guarantee as new. Well worth a couple trips a month to see what all they have new in the store. Not associated with them, just an occasional shopper. CC
