what tha heck!!!?????

You must be looking at BIN prices. If you don't want to get into an auction, it might cost that much. Search on dc9360 - lots of auctions going on an looks about same to me price wise. My last was $91 shipped.

On Rcgroups, someone said all the cheap dewalts were slight blems - they had slightly scratched cases and dewalt wouldn't package them. Of the 3 I've bought, only one was in a sealed plastic package (Amazon deal). The other two were loose. All were the same electrically though, 33v out of the box.
