I think its a unwritten rule that they always have to wait to the end to sell the items your interested in. It makes sense i guess, save the best stuff for last to keep the crowd around but it still *****.

 

[Treorp55]

thanks! There was much more i wouldve liked to get, but i was happy

 

[Mr.Nutcase]

you ****!!
Nice.........

 

[JeepsAreBuilt]

cool stuff

 

[dledinger]

Nice! I'd love to find some Knipex at a price like that.

I suppose...."you ****" would be more appropriate

 

[elect]

You ****!!!!!!

Knipex for less than $10 and Proto 3/4 bbar for less than $10 too. Great haul on some very useful tools on the cheap.

Rookies building their tool sets need to take note of all threads like this one.

At $136.50, I think you did good. I wouldn't call it a you **** level of good but, if you're happy, that's all that matters.

I'd say you ****. Alligator pliers look in good shape. A lot of good tools at very good prices. cORNWELL wrenches look very nice for the price No suckage on the stubby ratchet though, tough to buy one at a good price. Snap on ratchets always go for good money at auctions.

One problem I've noticed at auctions where there are a lot of good tools, mechanics show up in droves and can make it hard to make good deals. I often do well in box lots and find a hidden treasure or two in the bottom.

Went to 2 this weekend and fortunately the tools went early, that is not normally the case.
