The problem of estimating an endpoint of a distribution is revisited, using the bootstrap and random subsample methods. Contrary to an example in \textit{P. J. Bickel} and \textit{D. A. Freedman}, ibid. 9, 1196-1217 (1981; Zbl 0449.62034), suggesting that these methods do not work here, it is shown that one can in fact construct asymptotically valid confidence intervals in some situations.
