this is how tools should be listed on craigslist

[dlwilson]

Here's the best, most detailed tool list I've ever seen on craigslist: http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/tls/1733618161.html. All of the Snap-On model numbers are listed, there is a link to plenty of photos, and there's even an appraisal, with contact info. It looks to be a pretty good deal, and I've been thinking about it for a couple days, but I finally decided that I'm too busy now to buy the whole lot, keep what I want, and eBay the rest.

What do you all think of his pricing?

Great ad, looks like he kept an inventory of his tools, it also looks like he keeps them in nice condition. The prices are probably okay for the tools if you're buying them for yourself, not sure you'd make enough reselling them and I think the box prices might be a bit high.

He would probably do much better selling them individually on eBay or here but it does require a lot more effort but it's hard to sell large expensive full boxes like that.

Looks like someone actually cares about selling their tools and isn't going to pull the "too much to list" bullsh/t!

well he had it appraised by a snapon appraiser so I guess they are fair? lol

I wish that all ads were that detailed....Then again, if they all were, I would not get great deals from ads that others could not be bothered with.

I think the opposite. But it'd be easy to fix....

A "whole collection" advertisement like that is targeted towards folks who don't have a ton of tools or don't have a ton of Snap-on tools. You guys who have lots of Snap-on, read the catalogs, visit the truck, etc, are familiar with the part numbers. If I had $12k and wanted to buy this collection, I'd have to spend HOURS on SO's website just figuring out what's there.

He needs to add a column to his table for descriptions. Not even super detailed descriptions just... "1/2" Flex head ratchet" "metric ratcheting wrench" "SAE combo wrench" "Compression tester" etc...
