that winner should be taken out and kicked square in the man jewels repeatedly

 

[Charles (in GA)]

I bought two of those, brand new, about a year ago, at a gun show, $5 each, still had the barcode stickers on them. Sears has recently dropped them from the internet, I guess they are gone for good.

Maybe they thought it was 1" drive?
I have a 1/2" one think of it as old reliable clunky. Not quite 40 years old-says "PATENTED-1971"

 

[Diesel_Crawler]

well my old man is sitting on a gold mine at those prices. Hell anything I got that says "USA" is going up

 

[Bull]

That auction smells fishier than the pollack I had for dinner tonight.

 

[woody 73]

Oh my gosh I am sitting on a goldmine Maybe I can buy a home in the south of France,maybe I should be thinking bigger how about one of those old castles...

 

[woody 73]

Oh my gosh what am I thinking maybe I could buy two new Ferrari cars,one for the am drive and one for the pm drive to my castle in france.

 

[1969]

What did WC Fields say? There's a sucker ...............

 

[wafrederick]

Way too much money!

 

[ngk22r]

[jjarrell4]

I was talking about the excessive shipping.... what are yall hootin about?




(Sarcasm)
for our sarcasm deaf members

 

[thesilverone]

worst display of bidding ever

 

[billymade]

Hey! I have one of those in my toolbox! Ebay?

 

[eborcim]

That auction smells fishier than the pollack I had for dinner tonight.

I've purchased items from the seller before, he's straight up. I think the bidders were a little off in this one though...

 

[gatewaysysop]

Hot damn!

I have one in every drive size, fixed and flex versions, not to mention some doubles and spare gut kits. Guess it's finally time to walk into the office tomorrow and tell the boss to stuff it.

 

[Wakefield]

Maybe he will buy out our Craftsman breaker bars.

 

[joeswamp]

You wonder if someone accidentally put a zero on the end of their bid, but then you realize that there had to be at least two idiots bidding that high...

 

[dieseldodge01]

I have a NOS one for the 80's, maybe it should go on ebay. I could get over $100 for it

 

[old salvage]

I saw one at the flea for 8 dollars and thought "humph, thats too much" then I remembered this thread. Glad i got it now. Here's another one at 16 bucks. Place your bets as to what it'll go for ...http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-CRAFTSMAN-FINE-TOOTH-3-8-DRIVE-RATCHET-/350411446714?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51962659ba#ht_500wt_1043

 

[jrodc455]

I just refurbished one of those (I work in the Sears stock room) literally an hour ago.

 

[fordbroncodave]

that winner should be taken out and kicked square in the man jewels repeatedly

i agree

 

[DrkMtnDew]

thats the best beer-money deal i've ever seen. if he sells the whole set, he won't have to sober up till after new years.

 

[Rickster]

Holy Cow! Note to self: Buy more RHFT's

 

[stricht8]

and relieve the one in my trunk from trunk toolbox duty.

 

[old salvage]

I just refurbished one of those (I work in the Sears stock room) literally an hour ago.

Suprised that some stores still rebuild those. Wish My local sears had kits for em.
I passed a nice Easco flex head because it needed a kit.

 

[stricht8]

A store handed me a rebuild kit last spring.

 

[mrholeshot]

I'm reopening my ebay account, lol

 

[hofferwood]

I like to look at the bid history on this kinda stuff.
I click "show auto bids" then really see what's up.
SNIPERS abound!!!
On this one, the looser tried one more shot with 13secs. left-----he got screwed

WHERE ARE THESE NIMRODS when I got stuff up fer bid????

[Brad54]

Don't forget the guy who was bidding against him.

Then again, I just over-paid for a Snap-on body hammer on ebay, but it's got a pick end that I've needed several times in the past and KNOW I need for one particular dent on my Duster, while the face is a high-crown, good for inside radii. Point being, I paid more than the hammer should be worth, but it's exactly what I want and need, so I'm happy with it.

[JetLinkin]

Dang, I've been selling stuff way too cheap!

 

[JC23]

See the pattern? Soon, Cman will surpass SO! Is HF far behind???

It's the end of the world as we know it, boys. Run for the hills!

 

[thesilverone]

run for the flea markets you mean

 

[oldtools]

That's what you get for drinking and bidding at the same time.

 

[BerninicaCO3]

on this topic, here's something that puzzled me:
bought 3 wright tool sets from a liquidation sale for $15 apiece (10-19mm sockets, some extensions-- missing the ratchet). I think it was a 22 or 23pc set. The original retail, including the ratchet, was $100-- just a year ago! Well, the business only closed a year ago; unless his prices were from the '80s or something!
Wright tool sets on ebay are fetching, well OK, asking, more like $200 now; did their prices double in just a year, or are wright tools no longer being made, or...?

 

[bonneyman]

I just refurbished one of those (I work in the Sears stock room) literally an hour ago.

Me thinks you should get a "side" job repairing all of the forum's C-man rats!

Seriously, if we needed a rebuild kit, can you get us the parts?

 

[speed bump]

Well I would give that for an RHFT before I would buy one of the dual 80 technology ratchets for $67 off the truck.

Those are probably one of the best 1/4" ratchets ever made.
