Around here people think their used tools are worth almost that of new. There is a place next city over from me that sells china imports to swap meet vendors. They sell all kinds of tools, building supplies, some garden and a fair amount of cooking gear, a lot of the CG is commercial.
Prices were always about HF with a 20% coupon. I haven't been in an HF for 3 years so IDK what they are about anymore.
The point is that a lot of the same tools FS on CL are priced at new WRT to this wholesale place. That is just one of the downsides to living in a metropolitan area. People want 25 bucks for a duffle bag most would throw away.
I can't say what they actually get because I don't buy things from CL much. Only if I spot a real good deal which is snapped up in an hour. Flippers.
I looked at engine stands this morning on CL just for grins (that's assuming I would grin. mostly I shake my head). All were 3 point and prices were around 100. One for 40 in Las Vegas. Sure thing, bud.
HF has a 4-wheel model today for $49.99.
