Thanks for setting this up! I'd have posted sooner but work had me on the road again for a couple of weeks.
Well, what can I say... I guess for those of us who've already arrived there in life, making Kijiji deals on NYE might be kind of cool, the rest of those who are wondering why I wasn't out partying.... Give it a bit, you'll catch up.
Before I start, this was a positive experience, just sharing the find.
So I saw the add, posted in Calgary for some machinist tools. Poster stated that tools were worth about $1K, asking $300. No pictures, the word retired was mentioned.... I start dreaming... No pictures, you know how the excitement of what could be can build...
I gave him a call, and arranged to come and see what he had. Retired guy, didn't have much use for his machinist box and tools anymore so it was time to pass it along.
He was great to deal with. Took the time to open each drawer, show me each tool, explain a bit about them and share a story or too. Honestly it felt like he had a 100 drawers, each one was full of items, and seemed bottomless.
Long story short, I paid him what he was asking and carried the 60lb brick of a tool box to the truck. He even had the key for the toolbox lock!
I'll share with you the pictures I took of what was in the box. These are exactly as they were when I bought it. No confusion, that is multiple drawers of inserts, literally handfuls and most are new.
Enjoy!
