Default I have a good one for you!!!

This is off topic but I want someone to explain this to me. I am going to buy one of those hands free electric can openers that walk around the can and does it's thing. Had one years ago but it broke and now my arthritis, well, it's getting harder to do the can opening thing so I thought I would go online to see if I could get one for $10. There are MANY for $10 with free shipping.

Then I found this one. Look at the item, and look at the price and if anyone can explain WHY, I'd love to hear it.

I looked on the B and D site, and they're not even listed there.

Tongue

Sometimes they are a typo and sometimes not.

I once asked a question of a seller on ebay about a gardening tool that was listed as a 6pk. for 26.97. Was that price really for six of them? They wouldn't answer me and when I sent a second query, they raised the price
to $189.00! I found the same trowel at Lowe's locally for
$9.99!

You never know on ebay.... some good deals and some not so good deals!

At Amazon:

I'd read the reviews before considering this can opener...
many many did not like it and found it not worth the expense.

I have my own opinions about this item. About what they are charging. But I'm afraid to post my opinion because I don't want to be found at the bottom of the ocean attached to cement shoes.
