FOR SALE (machinist tools), $2000, Warner, AB

For sale machinist tools, 6 - 12 inch micrometers, vernier calipers, dial indicators, inside and depth mics reamers, counterbores. files to many tools to list comes in 3 Kennedy machinist tool boxes. asking $2000.00 for all.
 
Problem here is that the pictures are maybe of 20% of what is on sale and 80% is a total mystery.

3 Kennedy boxes alone could be worth good money.

I always wonder why pp don't want to break things apart a bit - I mean who needs as one purchase so many dial indicators? I would not mind small lot but not mega lot.

Its all good if the price reflects the bulk sale. Say everything there would fetch $2000 if parcelled out. Take all the time it would take to photograph and list everything + the time to deal with 50 people wanting to come by, times some reasonable hourly rate and deduct from 2000. I'd guess you'd be left with $400 - 500.

I've done it numerous time to build my shop, keep what I want and sell the duplicates ..... but imo its only worth it if you pay 1/4-1/3 of what stuff sells for individually.

Deals priced like that used to be norm, roll around box full for $500, now they're rare .... everyone thinks they're going to retire off of gramps old tools.

Yup he's down $500 from where he started. I don't know it might be a deal, but he wasn't too interested on selling individual pieces so I never did go and look.
 
Anyone else notice that the original posting shows the new reduced price! I guess the link updates itself!
