Old matco and Gerstner toolbox worth and some odd tools

[natas2000]

I was wondering what this stuff is worth? The Matco looks in ruff shape, but all there. The Gerstner looks good from what I see.
The Duplex box is ok but at least needs cleaned and polished but what's that worth?
The Urbana vise looks better than the blue vise but I cant remember the brand. I know its a common brand.
The 7th picture I'm not sure what those large sockets are or for.
The next are Proto sockets but if you look closely one isn't from that set and its missing maybe 2 sockets. I found sets in better condition like that with all the sockets from $45-85. I don't know what they want yet. A lot of people seem to act like they are worth a lot but looking are there not.

Thanks for any help.

Are you buying or selling?

The Matco box maybe $500 at the most, the Duplex probably a $100 or less. The Gerstner is where it gets tricky as they do have an import made line and you will need to know the differences before a dollar amount can be considered. The rest of the stuff offer garage sale prices on and see if they bite.

$500 for the Matco? Dang they'd throw me out for what i'd offer.

All depends on how quickly they want to sell the stuff. I have purchased Matco boxes like that in the past for $100 per box. But I only was able to get top and middle boxes. So maybe a bit more for the bottom box.

The odd sockets in the 7th photo are "spindle nut sockets" for 4x4 trucks and Jeeps. Not a high monetary value. retail about $20 bucks a pop.

I can't offer anything on the boxes, because I bought FIVE nice multi-drawer boxes last year, and paid no more than $50 bucks each. (One was a top and bottom Craftsman wheeled number.)

The SOCKETS - anybody's guess. PROTO is a great product, but old rusty sockets are old rusty sockets, so PROTO old rusty sockets aren't worth any more than Craftsman old rusty sockets. Garage sale price maybe $10 bucks - Ebay price up to $40-$60.

Problem with trying to ascertain "market value" on this stuff is that people look at ebay ads and search for the highest asking prices on an item and use that as a starting point. If you click "advanced", and run a search on "SOLD items", you'll see the actual selling prices aren't always the asking prices.
Additionally, ebay sellers factor in shipping costs, their handling time, and the 13.6% fee they're giving ebay when setting prices.
