Sorry, no. I must have lost something in translation. At first I thought he was selling one socket, then a partial set, then the pictures only made it worse. I'm still trying to figure out what on a VW is that size.
I think I would skip that listing.

That guy has been selling his **** for over a year now, his other ads weren't too clear either and I assume the prices are ridiculous or they'd have been gone a long - long time ago.

7/8-1-7/16" sockets missing 1-3/16" socket 12 point Protos. Looking at my MSC cat about $140 worth of sockets brand new. If I was looking I would offer $40 if I wanted them and would laugh if he thought it was worth more than $60.

It looks like he is using "1" to seperate the parts of the descriptions when he should have used back or forward slashes????????????????????

I didn't know that Joe Biden was once a VW mechanic!!

Figured it out!? Some but not all of the photographed sockets that were not included in the listed photographs that are not Proto are listed as new, but used by a guy with a VW that was in excellent used or nearly new condition. Call him up, ask if he has a VW for sale.

Hello


Nice to hear from you; your interest is appreciated.


The range of sizes is from 7/8" to 1-7/16"; missing is 1-3/16" as I lost it years ago.


Pricing for the set of 8-sockets is $180.


I am willing to break the set into two sets; if that is helpful.


The larger sockets, 3-sockets, are - 1-3/8 - 1-5/16 - 1-7/16; these 3-pcs for $80.


The smaller sockets, 5-sockets are 7/8 - 15/16 - 1 - 1-1/16 - 1-1/8; these 5-pcs for $100.


If interested; I can be available most of the day until 11pm; if that is helpful.


I look forward to hearing from you at your convenience.


Thank You

Foward him the list prices from MSC and tell him that you will pay 30% of that.
