If it retails for 59.99 and it's 18.99 on Ebay right now, I'd wait till it went to 59.98 then bid on it.
This is your third try posting the same crap. You didn't "run across" this, you liar. You're shilling for the seller.
eBay is a big yard sale in a rough neighborhood.
Never EVER buy from people with less than 98% positive feedback, and a minimum of 50 transactions.
-zero
Yup,and already with bad feedback.
Did you see the feedback on the seller? 77. I wouldn't buy a stick of gum from him.

What a deal! Only $18.99 + $14.95 shipping = $33.94 for a cordless saw without battery or charger and without warranty from a person with a reputation of defaulting on nearly
20% of transactions. Buy it. You deserve it!
Yes,but it looks as if he's using this guys pics, a scam if ever there was one.

And if one looks closely at the ad, the reason it's only $19.99 is because - SURVEY SAYS - it's only a carcass. No battery! What a great ebayer, folks.

Friends don't let friends buy on Ebay - regardless of sellers feedback.
BS. I've done quite well buying stuff on Ebay. I does take more than a lonely brain cell though.

No. The seller has bad feedback and you will probably get ripped off.
The poster *is* the seller. "Cindi" aka James F. McGovern has been shilling his/her auctions here, and at rec.woodworking, for a while now. This is at least the third time he/she has been busted.

No, you should FOAD. How many times are you going to SPAM the newsgroups with your eBay junk? Do you think we don't know you are shilling?

Who is this idiot spammer who keeps posting this crap? Jesus, get lost.
I've purchased many things on Ebay and never got stung. If the seller has a good feedback score and has been on quite awhile, it's usually safe to buy. I also pay by credit card just in case. Like everything else "Caveat Emptor"
Yes, definitely buy it, but don't ask this sort of question in this group again - oops, too late you're off to the KF....

Looks like Cindi is getting the same reception she got the last time she tried this scam

And isn't that a violation of e-bay rules?
