Kennedy toolbox

[nit2wn]

Found an old Kennedy Toolbox on a Goodwill site. just so you know:a. you have to bid on it, b. you also have to join the site although it's free to join, seems like Ebay on my 1st impressions. I just joined myself, so happy hunting at your own risk I guess. Said box listing: and current bid is $4

It said 1 bid? This is hard to understand at first. But I signed up and got more info. Is this used just for goodwill or can we post stuff?

That's entirely up to you. I found the box looking around. Not my thing personally, but I also know people on here would all but kill for that deal, so I posted it up. My way of paying back for the knowledge I picked up from here. Hope someone here likes it and wins for a fair price or a good deal. Either way it appears to go to charity. I registered just in case I found something. A friend of mine told me how she bought a grab bag of jewelry for around $30, pulled a few pieces out to keep and sold the rest at a pawn shop for $45. She just happen to be the highest bidder.

I also saw a lot of old wood hand planers on this site too. Just search tools. Keep in mind the people listing this stuff aren't bright on the uses of some of this stuff either.

Just GW AFAIK, and I would not be expecting any big bargains except "maybe" on pickup only stuff near you, its an auction, and not a secret one.

Shopgoodwill is a good auction site, but it is only for Goodwill items.

The killer is shipping which is expensive. If you target the Goodwill locations near you, you can pick up in person with only a handling fee making you likely the top bidder.

Usually they don't have much in tools that we'd be interested in, but sometimes you find a few items worth looking at.
