[Rhodes22-list] Another Shopping Issue - Hand Tools

[Brad Haslett]

Hank,

Great tool but the tools I'm sniping at are too expensive.  I got beat by
about 20% on four auctions.  I'm trying to be somewhat disciplined and am
bidding 67% of retail on Snap On tools. They are going for near retail.
This may be a short lived hobby.  I guess I may just be to stingy for Snap
On.
