Take a gander at the feedback (# of transactions)
The detail of the sold items (mostly boardshorts)
The items they have up for sale now (and the # of how many they have sold already of them)

Sheesh, that math don't add up for me. Steer clear my momma would say.

I tried to buy 2 of these and it rejected my order because I didn't have a PayPal credit card. I only have a PayPal debit card. ?? That's a first for me. It also comes from China , not thru Sears.

Craftsman isn't Sears anymore; it's a SB&D brand that is being now produced all over Asia. I'm thinking that someone in China has a backdoor to excess factory inventory and is selling the stuff directly to ebay customers. At these prices they are probably still making a 20-30% profit.

It's on Ebay. There are a few different sellers who have these. There in another who has them for $ 19.99 w / free shipping. I bought this one. I should be here in January . I don't think your going to get scammed on Ebay. You have buyer protection. If you don't get it , you'll get a full refund and a bad seller will get banned.

Sounds about right, I was seeing these sets for around $300 something on eBay and can't imagine even getting 311 oxwall wrenches for $30 back in the 70's.
Hell you can't even get that many of the lowest quality HF has to offer for this price.
