Be careful with ebay, you never know what kind of people you are going to run into...
20+ years ago when ebay was still VERY young someone was auctioning a Craftsman switchable (orbital / straight in line) half sheet sander just like the one my father had that I broke when I was a kid. I thought it would make a cool present for him. Someone kept outbidding me through out the entire auction until I gave up so I didn't win the auction.
I looked at who the buyer was after the auction closed and the buyers name struck me as very familiar. It was the name I used when setting up my fathers ebay account for him while I was showing him how to use ebay. LOL! I called him up and told him about the auction I just lost for a Craftsman sander to some ******* that kept out bidding me. We had a very good laugh over that auction for many years!
I have had the Craftsman sander since my father passed several years ago.
