How much would you pay?

[cincinnati_kid]

Found an ad on CL for some snap on stuff. 4 ratchets 1 set of metric sockets, 1 extension, and 3 screwdrivers. I am always looking for a deal on tools and the guy is open to offers. Here are the pictures he sent me.

 

[cincinnati_kid]

He said he will take $240 for everything

 

[I van putski]

I'd pay that. You could resell and still make money.

 

[cincinnati_kid]

These would be my first snap on items. I just dont know enough to know a good price when I see one. A lot of my things now are craftsman or off brand no name stuff. I would like to start getting some quality stuff.

What size is the largest screwdriver? Looks like it could be a #4 phillips...

those older ratchets are between 20 and 40 a peice depending... The hard handle is probably a 60 dollar ratchet. The socket set would be around 70-90 or more on ebay. Screw drivers would be around 15 bucks and the extension around 7. Roughly of course... I'd offer the guy 200 bucks and negotiate from there.

 

[cincinnati_kid]

He said he would take $200 I guess thats a good deal?

$200 is a good deal if your planning to actually use these tools. If your planning to make money off of some of the items to have a better deal then it would take a while. The only tools that really stand out are the green ratchet, both socket sets and the extensions. The other ratchets are pretty dated, and no1 would be willing to pay more than $20-$30 per ratchet.

$200 tops.

 

[cincinnati_kid]

Ill be using them. Just looking for some quality stuff.

 

[woody 73]

Grab them ASAP that is a very good deal.

 

[I van putski]

Buying them to use then that is a very good deal. Go get them and enjoy.

 

[cincinnati_kid]

Thanks guys! hope this doesnt turn into an obsession. HAHAHA I cant even say that with a straight face but I better practice

 

[I van putski]

The green handle ratchet is a new 72 tooth gear. The other three are older and have coarser gears. Take them apart get to know them, clean and grease and they will be smooth like butter.

While you're practicing, remember that it's always easy for others to tell you how to spend your money.

 

[FunkyfullWidth]

and it's easier for us to help somebody spend their's then our own!

ok guys I got another one. I told you this would end badly. This is the list the guy sent me he has. All snap on, mac, matco (he says) these are his words not mine.

box, cart, snapon chair.. in box I have air tools, impact, air ratchet, wiz wheel, air nozel, air hammer, have a snap-on socket and wratchet and torque bit set.. (i asked he said 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 sets) have all standard wrenches, metric wrenches.. bent neck wrenches, wratcheting wrenches, oil filter plyers and band wrenches, pics, test light, 3 different hammers, new mac prybars, screwdrivers, matco strip bolt remover set, flaring tool kit, drum brake tools, streamlight stinger flashlight and rechargable battery... stuff im forgetting too.

Here is the only picture he sent me.



He wants $1300 for everything.

I am skeptical but who knows.

I dont need the box or the cart and some of the tools I already have multiples of. I was thinking I could sell some and make up some of the $.

Were it me, I'd definitely need more photos and/or a more detailed list before I'd even think about it. If it's not far from you, it is worth checking out though.

 

[cincinnati_kid]

The box is the HF US General 44" he said is pretty much brand new (ive heard that before) I would be lucky to get $300. $40 for the cart

 

[cincinnati_kid]

He sent a few more pictures but not as many as I was hoping. He said these are older pictures but tools are in great shape.

shhhh!!
hear that?

sounds like someone/thing's calling

come'on over - we have cookies....... and koolaide
​

 

[cincinnati_kid]

Cookies? I like cookies!!

 

[cincinnati_kid]

I asked if he would take 1k if everything is in as good of shape as he said and its all there and he said we could do that. If its all snap on, mac, matco i dont think thats too bad.

 

[cincinnati_kid]

yes? no? the lack of responses scare me haha you guys think $1k is a good deal?

I couldn't tell you a number without seeing everything, but it seems like if all the other tool chest drawers are filled as much as the few that we can see you might be in for a great deal. Tools add up fast. You are talking $250 used value (at least) just for the us general chest, and in the drawer of pliers alone you have over $150 in used tool value with just a quick glance. Stuff like the Mac hose pliers go for around $20 each used on Ebay. The key will be whether or not the majority of the rest of the tools are US made versions or imported versions, but even if the rest are all imported you are still looking good so far in my opinion. If you are looking for tools to use yourself or to resell, I would definitely at least go see everything before getting too nervous and walking away.

 

[I van putski]

That a blue point socket set in the top of the cart.
But yea, go check it out. It looks like it is a possible good deal. Nobody here is going to say its a good deal without knowing what exactly is in every drawer.
