I had a similar experience about 10 years ago. I had my eye on a cordless power driver and found one at a home improvement store for $200 that came with a two year warranty, which would become a 3 year warranty via my credit card issuer. Later that day I visited a pawn shop and saw the exact same item, used and without a warranty, for $235 (my credit card issuer would have only covered it for 90 days). Go figure.
