People keep calling every old ratchet a "Snap-on" at swap meets

I was at a swap meet in Tulsa last Saturday and this guy was selling a beat up old Craftsman ratchet for $40 because he swore it was a Snap-on. I tried to show him the model number on the shaft but he wouldn't even look at it. It's getting real common lately where folks just slap a brand name on anything with a round handle. How do you handle telling someone their tool is worth $5 without starting an argument?

$40 for a rusty Craftsman, sounds about right for the "Snap-on tax" at swap meets.

Nah the real tax is convincing yourself you'll restore it.
