Wilton C2 on eBay - $200 BIN....

[EOC_Jason]

Seems like a good deal with the $200 BIN (even with added shipping cost). The only real concern I can see is it looks like one of the jaws is oversized, but at the same time it sits so far back it's almost flush with the rest of the face. I'm guessing someone milled it to make it square again. I suppose you could make a shim to bring the jaw back out where it should be.

I decided I would pass because of the jaw issue, and also there's not much of a description or photos of all angles. The handle *appears* to be straight from what I can see, but again it wasn't completely photographed so who knows...

Anyhow, caveat emptor... I have no association with the seller, I was just browsing the bay and scratched my head at an unusually low BIN price for a C2, even in the condition it's in... maybe someone can enlighten me?

Depends on the market I guess. Given the condition seems high to me. Personally I've not seen any used Wilton go for more than $200. I mean they're worth it, it's just one of those things where the used market is a fraction of retail.

Here's a killer deal at $150 and looks like new, but you'd have to be near Farmington NM

I guess that is the difference between up north and down here in the south... Down here in Texas you see **** like this:

Funny he has a 6" bullet that is showing half the shipping cost of that 5". $44 vs. $91. Had a Snap On branded Bullet on my local C-list a month or so ago I should have bought, listed for $100 and looked new.

FWIW Northern Tool has some of their square Wiltons on sale right now, think it is the 5" that is down to $140, bought mine when they had that sale and free shipping little over a year ago, just last month sheared the jaw screws off on one side, other than that it has been great.
