I know you were kidding, but this is funny a couple different ways. Firstly, we do tend to have a disproportionate view of ourselves within the superset. Not all collectors are GJers, and we might not even be 20%. Secondly, after the way the price was ridiculed, he would have to have an ego, a sense of self-confidence, and balls as big as his implied bank account!
And for all of these reasons, I profess, it was not me who bought this set. lolI know you were kidding, but this is funny a couple different ways.

So you are the guy that bought that 32C setWhat I sometimes do when I find ridiculously overpriced items, I make an ridiculous underrated offer...
Yes quite true! We are a bit of a small niche of the overall collecting community and therefore we have a bit of a perception that may not necessarily be correct given the overall collecting community.
No I did not, but to complete my set I probably spend over 400 bucks as well. But then I had a second incomplete set I could sell...
You do know Johnson and Siedeman (sp), the founders of SO, worked for Blackhawk before founding SO right?
Yo, Todd, did someone hack your account or what?
The post you are replying to was from 2011 and @oldjacks hasn't been on GJ since January 9, 2017.$2,450 is too steep for me. I wonder if I could afford the Mr. Peanut sign it's resting on...
But it's an "early native American piece"!
That price is “nuts”.
I want to thank Don Long for sending me the correct socket for my old set. It’s much appreciated.
Yes I have a pair of them but not restored yet
I’ve heard rumors of partially shipments on a moving truck, no rush delivery, can be had for reasonable rates. Supposedly shipping a full dining room set from Amish country Ohio to Lake Tahoe is quite reasonable, if you can wait for a truck full. I was looking at a handmade set there for cheaper than local high end stuff, including shipping it.
This is what you want. I've used them several times to move very large items that otherwise would not have had a chance to come home to me. You'll need someone on the other end willing to pack up and drop off your item at the local facility though.
Very niceA 911X 1/2” drive ratchet. Wide head version. The plug is unmarked, and a good match if not correct.
Great set and an awful lot of work in those huge lots. Looks like you have two of the 9004 socket release tools. If you ever could think of letting one go - I would really love to buy it for my set.I've been slowly putting this 70RD treasure chest back together over the years. I'm in the single digit missing tools range as of this AM. It's been a lot harder to find the missing wrenches than anything else. You'll note some doubles and maybe a thing or two that shouldn't be in the box. Those things will be moved out once I have every missing item.
Sure thing. I will take a close up of the ad and then drop the pictures over in your thread.
Luck shined on me for once. lol. There are two 9004s in the box but one of them will end up in another set that I'm working on that also requires a 9004. If I ever stumble over a third one, I would have no issue moving it along to you.
I already thought of casting my own...
A few years ago, Twertsy liquidated his collection and I was fortunate enough to buy a bunch of Blackhawk stuff from him along with some other great stuff.
Did not know that.
