I have this set of various Channel Lock pliers that I'd like to sell but not sure what I should price them at. What say you?
Set has: 460, 440, 420, 426, GL12, GL10, 526, 337 and 3017

New and unused.

They are worth less than retail. Nothing vintage or collectable about them other than they look to be in good shape.

I like them. But I also have a tool problem and keep buying more stuff.

Depends where you are trying to sell them.
If i was selling them, id start around $60 for the set.

Put them up for $75/80 or best offer and see what bites you get. That's a pretty extensive set. I'd say everything cost about $100 new.

Why would you get rid of some of the best pliers ever made? Save them for when you lose one, toss some in the car, pass them on to your kids or future kids.

Man, those things are beautiful, unless you need the $ just hang on to them. I'd gladly give $60 for them if I was in the market. Post them on here and see if any members bite on them, they'll surely know the quality more so than the general public.

I'm just not a fan of slip joint pliers and with a full range of Knipex and Snap On pliers I'm just never going to use these. I think someone would get a hell of a deal and great use out of them. $60 would be great I think!

I'd love to list them but I can't here. I'm not a 100 poster yet.

I totally agree. Once i got used to using my Cobras and 'Gators, i find it less than appealing to use Channellocks. Both are great quality. Just my preference.

Keep them.

That's what I say. I'd keep them and build around them with other brands, etc. No sense in getting rid of what look to be good tools, and I don't think you'll get much more than 50% of retail for them.
