You can often swing deals at the big box stores if you are patient, too. At my local Lowe's I had been eyeballing this large roll around tool chest from Kobalt. It had been out on the floor for months and suffered some minor but noticeable damage to one of the sides. Originally it was over $600 but they had marked it down to $500. Still it sat. So, one day I worked up the courage to approach the tool manager. I offered him $250 for it thinking he'd laugh me out of the store, but hey, nothing ventured nothing gained, right? Surprisingly, he countered with $350 and I told him he had a deal. Now, with my military discount that brought it down about the same as our tax rate here so in the end I made it out the door with it for $350. I never have bothered to fix the damage since it doesn't affect its function in any way.

I prefer Craigslist for a much more robust search function -- and, no ads! Facebook search functions are wretched. They're inaccurate and hard to limit with filters, if you select results by time posted or closest first, fewer are listed. The application of filters is faulty. As you say, saved searches stink.

I did this just last week when I saw someone posting a bunch of angle clamps. Got a deal on a rockler router table with a lift plate & fence. Along with dewalt router. All brand new in the box. $300. Yes. $300 for all of it

The best place to get cheap tools is Estate Sales. I bought a Saw Stop 5hp Industrial Cabinet table saw with Biesemeyer fence for $300. (saw alone is about 5k new) It also came with a side table and Router attached. It also came with some starter capacitors and replacement brake cartridges. I got it home and only had to replace the Motor Start Capacitor (with the new one that came in addition to the saw) and it works flawlessly.

auctions and estate sales are great, but they require a lot more effort. Auctions like hibids are kind of simple depending what's around you, but estate sale auctions like maxsold will require lots of looking around the pictures and reading descriptions. Estate sales are kind of the same depending on the company. I'm just starting to build my tool collection right now and actually bought a miter saw (dewalt don't know model yet), table saw (craftsman 113 series), and 12" delta drill press today for under 200. Not a big deal but it's within my budget

I’m fortunate enough to live close to the largest Rockler on the west coast. I swing by every month. I’ve gotten a $500 bench dog cast iron router table top for $100. A $200 miter trimmer for $50. And a couple other screaming deals. I used bidspotter (jkm recommended) and got a Jet 750 dust collector for $300. Put a filter on it. $500 for a $1000 tool. But this was risky, had no idea if it worked or not. The only great deals I got on eBay were for used hand planes I restored. They weren’t great deals, just, great tools that worked well upon arrival and after an hour were perfect. That aside, I always check Home Depot or lowes. They randomly have Dewalt deals I swoop up. $100 router that’s $200. Same with the multi tool and impact wrench.

@@Lincolnstww Yes there is junk you have to sort through but I've got great deals on many handheld power tools such as drills, drivers, jigsaws, and routers. And not just beat up Harbor Freight stuff but like items from Bosch and Dewalt that were like new(my two best finds). First key thing is to try it out as best you can before you buy. Ask to plug it in and fire it up, perhaps cutting on some scrap. Secondly if it's cordless make sure you can find a charger, extra batteries, and perhaps replacement parts for said tool. Sometimes they are only pawned because the manufacturer abandoned that model. Also, if you get multiple items they will often be willing to knock a bit off the price if you ask. One of my local shops even gives you a one week warrantee. As for the stolen part, pawns shops are supposed to log all serial numbers so local law enforcement can match them up to any recently reported theft. I was actually able to recover something stolen from a vehicle in a similar fashion.
