Been buying some tools off ebay at the mo. There’s one thing I've noticed, thats the amount of people that bid more for it, than its worth brand new, especially Snap-on stuff. If I find something I need or more importantly think I need, I try and find the new price with P&P and work out how much I'm willing to pay.
Some people must just get carried away with the whole bidding malarkey

They are called ijiots, and there are a lot of them around, many bidding on Elise items.

I used to have our recon products listed and they often made more than our retail price on the brand new items - not quite so good nowadays though
