I find eBay a better source for tools, but both it and Amazon are head-and-shoulders better than Lowes and Home Depot if you don't need that tool right this minute. And if you do need it today and it can be used, Craigslist.

In my area (poor, very rural), craigslist is too slow for that.

I've been searching for a drill press for months, and I actually just hit one today. Assuming it's not sold out from under me by tomorrow, I'll have a new one in the evening.

The last one I saw was sold within two hours of listing, and that was over a month ago.
