I have about 500$ worth of USA taps and drill bits that i have no idea what to do with ( i have a very nice snap on set in my box) where would i sell something like that? EBay? Pawn? Flea market? Thanks for any input

I would say eBay would be your best option, sell them in lots or sets. You can sell them individually but it would take forever.

My phone will not open the links. But i take it that it goes to the classifieds? I've already been rooting through there lol. Snap on addiction.

Couldn't hurt to try Craigslist. Buyers could inspect them that way. Don't know if you're located in that sort of market however. I would have a similar thought about a flea market if you had another reason to be there or could 'place' them with one of the tool guys. I don't know how well eBay works for something like that. Check out the sold auctions and see what others are having success with and what sort of prices they are getting.

Pawn shops will give you 10 cents on the dollar.
E-bay has fees and then you must ship the items.
Flea markets will charge you to set up for the day (well at least in my area of central "Ahia").

list it in your local CL, if you do not get any takers for the whole lot try breaking them up.

Example a drill bit lot, a large tap lot, a small tap lot etc.

At least for me I have driven all over central Ohio buying small lots and over time I have enough to keep me going should anything break.

Ok. I'm trying cl. Ty guys!

It's a no brainer. List them on Ebay in lots. You'll get the best price and they're easy/inexpensive to ship.

However used taps/drills won't bring much no matter where you sell them.

All brand new.

eBay
Use a padded flat rate to keep ship charges low on bigger lots. Post office will send them to you free if you set up account.
I use first class on taps and mills less than 13 oz.

I bought four Huot Drill dispensers filled with drills/taps in two separate transactions on Craigslist. Around here, they don't stay on CL long. eBay will probably net you more money.
