SK wrenches - price idea

[steven083008]

This weekend we had a hardware store in Raleigh that went out of business and held a public auction. One of scores was a set of 19 metric SK wrenches. I didn't look at my pictures very closely, and unfortunately they didn't come out real well, but I was wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what these wrenches are worth. The only model number I can see in the picture is 88319. All of the wrenches are high polish except for two raised face wrenches. I believe I have every size from 8mm-17mm, plus some duplicates.

How much did you pay?

What store went out of business? Just curious I'm in Rolesville.

I actually can't remember the name of the store, but it was a small hardware store right across the street from Burke Brothers. The ad said it was Burke Brothers, but it turned out not to be.

I paid $35 for that set.
I don't know what they are worth, but I'll entertain offers if anyone is interested. If someone wants them a lot more than me, they can have them. Otherwise I will be more than glad to hold on to them.

For complete sets, you can probably expect to get $5-$8 per wrench. A little less for the smaller ones, a little more for the larger ones.

If I were selling them, I'd probably ask $150 and settle for $125.

That's a good deal in my opinion. I have learned over the years that NEW sets are cheaper than buying single wrenches.

But when it comes to used or vintage wrenches, singles are cheap, matching sets are much more expensive especially if they include the original case or pouch.
