eBay with Rockwell Tools has the refurbished Rockwell RK5100K-RC Sonicrafter Oscillating 20pc Starter Kit for $55 with free shipping. Includes a carrying bag and accessory case, and comes with a full 2 year warranty.
I have used the HF oscillating tool - two, actually - for well over a year and find it entirely adequate for my noncommercial needs (which have included considerable remodling of my home and a rental house).
^ Of course it depends on the use, and I wasn't implying the Rockwell is really "great" either, here are a few comments in a review, and woodworking forums or Amazon will have more user reviews,
How can this beat Harbor Frieght's $20 oscillating tool deal?
^ Seldom is the cheapest tool the best... if even adequate
