Vintage MAC Sabina 1/2" set value

[mikebramel]

This is a 12 point set. Has the t handle, breaker bar, 3 extensions, universal, speeder, ratchet, sockets from 9/16-1 1/4". Overall OK (dirty, light rust) to very good condition (minimal to no wear). Ratchet works nice. What would be a fair price for this set. Thank you

Unless you encounter a "Sabina" nut, I think somewhere around $110 bucks would be fair, and even then it would be someone probably looking for a vintage piece versus a everyday user.

Nice find though...

I once sold just those sockets alone for $100 on ebay. I was suprised it went that high. for just the sockets. I think Hiball is exactly correct, more collectable value than user value.

Never seen a Mac ratchet of that design-resembles the SK "boattail" ratchet they used to make.

If I was selling that set, I'd probably hope to get in the neighborhood of $100. Anything less than $50 is a bargain.

I'll give you a hundred.


I think you guys are a little low. I would expect Ebay about $200-250. Just my honest opinion, it is a full set. (no internet research done)

Well... nothing on Ebay right now. This was a month ago; better chrome, not Sabina, no box, New Britain sourced ratchet for $203.

Sometimes there's only one nutjob collector out there. I saw an old Duro-Chrome set in original box go for $250 crazy money on eBay. Some months later I found pretty much the same set at a Habitat Surplus Store for $25. Put it up for auction and it went for $65.

Thanks for the help

Here are some better pictures. I just wiped them off. There is no rust on the sockets, still some dirt though

S&K made that ratchet. They also made one in the same style for Gambles Dept. stores. It was badged ARTISAN.

Gort.
