Amazon Warehouse Sale

[LongLook]

Just did a quick look at the warehouse sale items. $32 for used planer blades? You have to be kidding me.

So is this the Amazon clearance section?

Must be, says "Warehouse Deals".... your guess is as good as mine.

Looks like mostly stuff I would want to get rid of.

The interwebs say that the warehouse deals are returned, warehouse damaged, used and refurb deals.

So it sounds like a crapshoot. The couple listings didnt indicate what the deal was other than used, like new or open box. It does say the items qualify for regular Amazon return policies.

I also didnt notice a hefty discount on the items I looked at. Guess its just a way for Amazon to limit escaping profits on damage and returns (got to be a PIA to get a bunch of open box returns....they arent like Menards that just wraps the package in packing tape and puts it back on the shelf)

I purchased one of these, https://www.amazon.com/Lincoln-1162-Air-...atic+grease+gun , from Amazons Warehouse for $35. Other than the packaging being dinged up a bit it looked new to me and it has worked flawlessly for me. If I remember correctly I believe they have different levels of quality ratings when it comes to their warehouse stuff.

Some people like using the steel for other things.
My local blacksmith has a stash of used blades (of all types) waiting to be repurposed.
