Is this for real? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Indestro-Se...820718?hash=item2599e6a9ae:g:9gcAAOSwaNBUcpx1

Is this a sentimental price or are these things actually worth this much money? I see Indestro at the flea market all the time. I could be rich

North of the board that's costing $470 in adjusted dollars.

Wow

yep. it's been up for awhile. i'm one of the watchers, just to see if some buffoon would actually spend that much munney

Don't let 4C see this thread! He will say, yes, it is absolutely worth it! But he would not pay anything like that! This is a nice one, probably easily worth $25 or so to an Indestro fan. They are like old SK or Wright or Proto or Williams, very well made things, tough as nails. - Paul

There's 5 more listed for $25 or less in equally good condition. His days new, but has rust in the pictures. He must be smoking drugs

I agree it looks like a nice ratchet, but not new and definitely not worth that price.

 

[jwsia]

But at least he will ship it for free

paul every time that thing gets re-listed I crack up at that guy's ad.
he's sniffing the wrong brand of glue or something.

there was another clown on there who has a NOS 3/8" drive Indestro Super 3/8" socket set he first listed for $899.00 + shipping, which he's dropped down to $189 now:

both those guys are nuts. no way that ratchet is worth more than $75, even if it was brand new.

there was a new NOS 3/4" drive Indestro Super socket set, in the original box, with all the pieces, that sold in November for about $300 including shipping.
there was a used set that sold recently for $190 + $60 shipping a month ago - the bottoms of the sockets were all rusty because water sat in the bottom of the box and the guy pulled the breaker bar out of the set when he dropped the price from $249 to $190. took him almost 5 months to unload it.

no crazier than the guy with the T-64 Niehoff timing light who outbid me in the last 10 seconds and got it for $9.00 and listed it for $65.00 the next day, who now has it listed for $40.00 including shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Niehoff-T-6...:g:hWMAAOSw5IJWdtne&item=172119267500&vxp=mtr

those guys watch too many episodes of "Pawn Stars" and "American Pickers".
