"Duplicate" and "I Like It But Don't Love It" Tools For Sale...

Up for sale are a few of my duplicate tools, as well as a couple of tools that I like, but don't love.

Below is a "Gallery" photo of all the tools I have for sale with a link above and below it. Click on either of those links as they will take you to the Tools For Sale page.


I have posted individual listings for each tool on my own server because Blogger has limited space when it comes to imaging. Each tool has enough photos to let you know what condition it is in, plus a written description.

Each tool listing displays the price I want to sell the tool for. They may not be the prices you wish to pay for them, but then they never are. I have also listed what I paid for the tool originally. Some I have listed for less than what I paid, some more, and some the same, but I didn't include what I paid for shipping so either way, I'm not going to win on any of this. Here's the point I'm trying to make; I don't mind getting wet selling these tools, but I already had a bath today. If I can't sell the tool for what I have listed it for, I'd rather keep it.

If you want one of these tools, email me using the supplied link for each tool and I will mark the listing as sold. The first email committing to purchase a specific tool is the winner. I will reply the following day with the total cost of the tool plus my cost for shipping, as well as the cost for additional shipping if required. Please use the links supplied. Your email window should open with the tool you want already listed in the subject field, along with the tool's sale number.

I expect payment within 48 hours after sending you the invoice. I truly want to sell these tools within my lifetime, so I think this gate is fair to both. If I don't receive payment, I'll pull the sold notice on the tool and try again. Your ears may burn for a few days, but I won't be sending the "boys" after you.

As far as payment options, you can pay me whichever, however or whatever way you want, as long as it is through PayPal. Once PayPal notifies me that I have received payment, the purchase will be shipped the following day.

Are the prices listed in US dollars? I'm under the impression you are situated in Canada. Thanks.

Colin, I searched for your email link but didn't come up with one so I'll answer your question here.

I depends on what works best for you at the time of purchase. Whichever currency is the cheapest for you, that is the one I'll accept the asking price in. And yes, I am located in Canada.
