Mac 1/4" socket set worth

[ilya]

I made a newbie mistake and bought a Mac socket set thinking it was a 3/8". Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be a 1/4". I double-checked the EBay listing and realized that the seller (a pawnshop) did not specify the drive size!

I'm wondering if you guys could advise me on what would be a fair price for this set since I don't have a need for SAE 1/4" sockets and ratchet.

- Mac part# SM196BR
- All of the tools are US made
- The box is a bit tired but intact
- 5/16" short socket is Indestro Super
- 2" extension is Sparta
- Ratchet is Proto 4749
- 1/4" deep socket is missing
- 7/16" shallow socket is missing

I would think 25-35 would be about what you may be able to get for it.

Unless you camara makes evrything look larger than normal. That does not appear to be a 1/4" set. Looks like a 3/8" set from the drive sizes.

????? Sure looks like 1/4" inch to me. Look at the nutdriver handle.

That is a 1/4 set.

What did you pay for the "set"?

Based on the big 1/4" set that is $600+ new and usually sells for $250, I would say you could ask $80 for a miss-matched set of standard. It does have the $20 dollar wobble handle and the $25 universal, but there just isn't a market for 1/4" standard sockets anymore.

I think you would be doing good to get $80 since there is a few mismatched sockets and a few missing.

I watched that exact set go for $75 last month, but it was complete and had a MAC ratchet. I would be suprised if your set went for more than $40 on ebay.

Here is a complete set with a mac ratchet ending in 13 hours, it's final price should give some idea of what price you could get for your partial set-

I know who is selling that set, it's a local estate sale company that did a Mac dealers estate sale a while back. Looks like they kept some stuff for themselves. I'm hoping the price goes real high.

Thanks a lot, guys. I actually paid $26 plus shipping for it, so it looks like I'll be able to get most of it back.

26 was a steal.

Did they already sell the set on the left that would be the one I would be interested in.

Those are my sets, I was hoping the price goes real high because I have them. But we all know how that goes, the other guys stuff always sells for more.
