FS: my precision tools

[AlexBanich]

Well is been 3 yrs since I got laid off from tool and die and and changed careers to millwrighting. Therefore I am selling all the precision tools I have. Here is what I got and no I don't have prices. Make me an offer and if you don't like that idea then pound sand I don't want you owning my stuff any way....I am not here to make a million dollars just want to pass them on before they become useless and get a fair price. All these were in my Kennedy journeyman top box in my living room surrounded by moisture absorbing material. If you want pictures let me know. So here it is.

CSI quick depth gauge with knife edge has case
Rivet quick gauge in case
Two Swedish inside mics 3.5" to 4.5" .0001 increment
Precision home made parallels 2.5" long set starts at .200 then to .250 and then goes up in roughly .010 increments to .999
A mitutoyo 4" to 5" tri mic Goes in .001 increments
a starrett no 178b radius gauge set
90 degree counter sink quick gauge still covered in wax since its last calibration in Feb 95 has case
mitutoyo dovetail indicators which all have cases:
Model 513-203 .0001 increment horizontal
Model 513-292 .0005 increment horizontal the name Joe Nevers etched on it
model 513-253 .0001 increment vertical certified right before I got laid off
model 513-253 .0001 increment vertical doesn't always return to 0 but doesn't seem to stick either

Mitutoyo digital flange mics certified right before I got laid off July 09
I also have a set of digital mics that go from 1" to 5" and are a mix match of starrett and mitutoyo that I will sell as a set
Also have a starrett digital depth mic with only the 1" rod
All digital mics have cases except the digital 1" have cases

Any questions ask would like to sell as much as possible. We all know about what this stuff is worth so email me at [email protected] and let me know what ya think. Thanks

What, you think this is ebay? Post prices!

 

[AlexBanich]

Ohhhh yes this sure is eBay! What afraid you will over pay for something? Hoping I would list something way way low so you can get a hell of a bargain cause I am stupid? Come on its not like the going price for this stuff isn't decently set in stone already. As well since we are all in the trade we should basically spread know what those prices are..... and no matter who presents the price first they are always negotiable. I don't wait and collect prices and sell to the highest bidder if I wanted to do that I would put it on eBay and fish for the deep pockets. Therefore if you need prices to see if its too rich for your blood then it surely is cause you're only hoping it isn't.... trust me I know cause I am still waiting on that super deal on a 1 ton pick up :-)

Glad you opted for being a millwright and not hoping for a career in sales....................Bob

Feel free to call me ignorant, but... What is a Rivet quick gage?

 

[AlexBanich]

Rivet quick gauge is a gauge you just put on top press down and it will tell you plus minus on the height I am guessing. I never saw it in use. Its kind of like a Kwik hole gauge if you have ever come across those.

 

[AlexBanich]

And Bob I am glad you didn't opt for a career trolling on the internet

Alex,
Put some prices on your stuff, and drop the attitude, and you'll like as not, sell your stuff.

The original post comes off making you look like a pain in the ass to deal with, the subsequent ones seem to confirm it.

All I see for your stuff, is essentially a headache for the potential buyer, and an opportunity for all the wags around here (and there are lots!) to pull your chain for cheap entertainment purposes.
The former may not be true, but the latter...well... see for yourself.

If you know what you want to take for this stuff, put it up. You will get less flack, and probably get your price, unless you are way out of line.

Cheers
Trev

I completely agree Trev and so far all those who inquired with price have been sold to. The ones who ask for pictures and and prices all haven't heard a reply peep out of them. No one might agree with me but time and time again no matter how I post here or any where no prices always cuts out the pain of wondering if you need to hold on to something for somebody or getting criticized for selling something out of turn. Honestly like I said those who are serious can shoot me an email with an offer and truly as long as its not an absurd offer its sold.
