This is getting to be addicting! Responded to another CL ad and ended up with the following:

Items include wrench sets XS609A (SAE short box end, 9 piece), XS807B (SAE 4 way angle head, 7 piece), OEXS709B (SAE short combination, 9 piece), F734A ratchet head, F832, SL832, F831 and F748 ratchets.

Total for $400.00.....good, bad, or about average?

You did real good. I would say you have over 800 retail any time you can get 1/2 off it is a deal.

Re: Did I pay to much?

Thanks guys...you make me feel better about dropping 4 bills. The guy that sold them to me used to wrench for a living (20 years ago). He now works as a 55 year old DJ spinning records. The CL ad was for the wrenches only. When I contacted him he said that he had other stuff that I might want to look over. He has SO tools out the ying-yang! I could have walked off with a major haul if I had a little more cash on hand. Definitely going to head back when I find a little more green.

Nice deal if you need those items, but I'm metric, and have a few newer ratchets I like better.

Metric has been a little harder to come by....the seller had nothing but SAE for sale....I just got a lead on a full set of SO metric 3/8 and 1/4 sockets. Trying to set a time to go inspect. He still has not given me a price.

TwinCam - There are absolutely no marks on any of the wrenches are ratchets:)
From what this guy was telling me, they have been sitting in his garage collecting dust for some time. He was telling me that back in the day there used to be a Snap-on distribution center in Gwinnett County (north east part of Atlanta) that the public could walk in and purchase tools....did not have to go through a truck dealer. He lived near the distribution center and used to frequent the place weekly....kind of like I used to do with local Sears store growing up. I don't know if this is true or not...if it is, I wish I had grown up in Gwinnett county:bounce:

Those short combos are pretty old to be unused and still in a tray. Somebody was saving them for a rainy day. :headscrat

They have been used...just not very much! This guy three of everything....at least it seemed that way. I guess that he needed money and new that the SO stuff would sell.
