Pricing Spreads

I was snooping around looking at, Car Safety Hammers.

This was a fun and informative sortie.  Looking on eBay I found the same basic basic hammers (a pair) listed from $62.54 from a seller with a far from acceptable FB score to another listed at $18.49.

The $18.49 seller has a fun filled listing. as in:

A) Feed Back is below my minimum of  99.6%

B.)  Feed Back is Private a fail for me. Private means we can see if  any previously sold items we are interested in were given bad marks.

C.) Sellers does not respond to his many feed backs - an automatic deal breaker for me

D.)Looking at this sellers Shipping and payments page we see where he charges sale's tax in every state. This is a scam since we know or comfortably assume he does not have sales tax transaction permits in all state and likely none at all.

E.) His listing shows: Certificated by PTS---The quality and design of this car safety hammers had been certificated by PTS (Product Technology Service), more secure and professional. Look up PTS and see that it's a Chinese company that most likely sells it's (dubious value) ratings.

LOL Some fun eh?  It pays to review listings thoroughly

Sam, I have a couple of those smaller ones. I'm looking for heavier ones that don't require as much arm strength to swing, especially for a woman who may have suffered an injury further reducing strength.

My thread was not about now cheap I can buy a "somewhat similar" item. It was about comparing two same items and pointing out deterrents to dealing with a couple of different sellers.
