How much should I ask for these?

how about a 2nd set

Dave Thompson

>While I think they are worth $8 each given competition amongst new chisels in that class, you might want to know that the local Blue Borg sold the 4-set (.25,.5,.75,1") for US$20 new.

Pre-lapped back though, makes it better than new to me.

good luck.

PS If you find someone who wants to buy them at $8 each, I have two more sets that are just collecting dust.... ;-)

>Hi Chico,

Are you cashing in your empties??

I think selling them one at a time would be a pain, selling them as a set would be easier...are you turning Japanese?

:-)

take care,

Jim

>Hi CHico,

New in sets they usually go for around 8$ each (US). Yours look in good shape, but they are used, so I'd say $5. That's not taking into account how many other people have sets they want to get rid of (quite a few by the looks of this thread). Flattened might be an asset but many users might not see the advantage. I know I'd hesitate to buy a set that was flattened if I couldn't see how flat they were, sometimes people (not you, but in general) round off the edges if they aren't flattened properly.

If you re-temper them Adam C. might be interested in a set. ;)

YOU! Keep your hands off the keyboard!

Jim, you're such a troublemaker my friend! And I know, you're proud of it!

PS: What happened to the game? Was Denis right?

I have a set as well that collects dust. Someday I hope to hand it over to the kids or let the neighbours use them

Waaahhhhoooo Nilley!

Scott Burr in Ben Lomond, CA

>Before I offer to take them off your hands, I have a question...

Skew chisles, we all want 'em but never seem to get them IMHO. What you got there is a fine set of soon to made skews. I'm looking for a set so I can make both kinds... "country and western"!

I'm looking for 4 or 5 piece set... ya know 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1...

>Chico,

My choice would be to try ebay.You can sell anything there. Barring that,I don't think you're going to be too successful selling them unless you sell them cheap.Why not just give them to a school or budding/tool poor woodworker?---Jack

WC Benefit Auction?

>I think this set is a great candidate for a WC benefit. Let's face it, they aren't that valuable, so if you give them away you'll hardly feel it. And since they're a WC benefit, the buyer will likely pay something of a premium.

Pam

No, the Sens had a hiccup...

Things should get back to normal for the next game :)

GO HABS GO!

Seems a bit steep

Wendell @ Murphy, TX

>I just got the May sales flyer for Woodcraft. They have the 6-piece set on sale for $49.99. In Dallas, TX, that works out to be about $9 a piece when you include tax. To me, $8 a piece for used might be a little high, but if you put them up on Ebay you might find someone willing to pay your price.

Any particular reason you have to get rid of them? I have a set of 4 Marples that I started with. I think I'll always keep them around either to turn into skews, use for construction projects, or maybe even play around with trying to harden them up.

Wendell

Got a deal!

HC Sakman @ Victoria, BC

>I'll trade them with the chisels posted above!

Thanks Jim!
