i bought a tool box set on ebay that came with a load of tools in it. some of it is ****, i’m giving about 25% of it to charity, keeping about 15%, and selling off the rest.
since some have asked, i posted the story as i understand it here:
http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=338680
of the rest, most of it is not things that i think will be of interest here, but are still things that i think might be of some value. i intend to ebay all that stuff.
there is a small amount of high grade or specialized tools that i think might be of interest to the members here. i have looked on ebay at sales that completed successfully (IE: things that actually sold) rather than just listings. i intend to offer the better stuff here first, at a discount of 25% to 30% off the average of completed sales over the summer on ebay. if, after some period of time, they dont sell here i will move them over to ebay. while i want to recoup some of what i spent, i am not looking to make a killing, nor do i have a clear idea of what most of this is “worth”.
please note that some “sets” are either missing pieces, or have other brands filling in missing items. i have noted it where i can, but there was a lot of stuff, and some of it had gotten spread around inside the box. if you noticed something is missing that should be there, let me know, i might have it, and not realize what should be included.
back when i used to pay for cable tv, i used to watch Pawn Stars and Antiques Roadshow occasionally. the one thing i learned is that “cleaning something up to sell it” is usually a bad idea. the only cleaning i have done is to make engraving more legible. i’ll try to describe things as well as i can. if you need more information, just ask, i will also try and take a few more images if you want.
i am separating the items into postings by brand or function, along with occasional listings for things that dont really fit elsewhere. if you are interested in several things, or one thing for less than i am asking, make an offer. this is not personal. something is worth only what someone will pay for it. some of the stuff i’ll keep rather than let go too low, but neither of us will know what that figure is until someone asks.
if it is still up, it was still available the last time i logged in. if there are negations going on, i will mark them PENDING. when someone commits, i’ll delete it.
i am too new to this to try and quote shipping for various items, especially since i hope you are going to be interested in getting more than one thing. i hate the cost of shipping, and arent looking to make a profit there. let me know what you are interested in, and what your zip code is, and i’ll figure it out and let you know before you have to commit.
payments thru money orders or paypal. if you are local, and are picking things up, cash works too.
i have tested things like the air tools and socket ratchets to make sure that they turn, but have not done any usability or stress tests. they are sold with a good faith opinion that they work. things that didnt are either noted (like a certain cracked socket), or just not included.
PM me with questions or offers, or corrections for things i have mislabeled or gotten wrong. thanx for looking.
