$10 says this is a scam
« on: March 06, 2023, 01:13:24 PM »
Supposedly from some kind of Macy's outlet, this fully stocked 360pc top box for $29.98.


Not even if this is generic bottom of the barrel stuff.

I've never heard of the Macy's home center, but I've never even been to Macy's and certainly wouldn't think of them when I'm looking to buy tools.

Why do you say Macy's home center?
Link says nothing about Macy's (read your link), and it gives contact information in Germany.

One sniff and it reeks. Explore the home page, view the contact info, do a web search on the parent company name and the hits will keep on coming.

Case closed.

Looks like a super way to get screwed to me! Bend over and assume the position after you have paid  your money!

In KS and MO Macy's was mainly a women's clothing store for decades, no tools, clothes. Then like Sears, but without everything except clothes they started going belly up and dropping like flies.

That's what it said right next to the Macy's logo when I first clicked on the link out of curiosity ( this is a popup type add on YouTube).
Interesting that it's now just a red star.

Sometimes the pictures are hot and you just gotta look at them anyways  :-\

Really  no I don't normally click the links, I just wanted to see just how much of a scam this clearly was.
