Only for the true tool junkie

A nice pressy for father's day?

And (apparently) mostly unused. Weird. Did he rob a tool shop?

If you read the questions-and-answers he's a carpenter (explains the rather nice wooden benches in the background) and bought most of the stuff as a job lot to get milling machines etc.

Must have been some job lot, though.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember geoff saying something like:

He must have a massive box. Is it Pat Mustard?

[Ramsman]

There's absolutely no point in doing so. Unless they have a vested interest in driving the price i[up, of course.

[Dave Starling]

You might not believe it, but that sort of high end stuff often gets weighed in at scrap yards. What is the ebay commission on 30k? reminds me its free listing this weekend.... dave.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

I doubt it makes any difference these days. Even using one of those last second bidding progs doesn't mean you'll buy it for less.

[The Other Mike]

So how much is say a spanner worth at a scrapyard in comparison to its list price and the likely selling price on eBay?

[Dave Plowman (News)]

And actually gets scrapped? I find that hard to believe.

[Nick Leverton]

I was quite amused that the listing started at 99p - nearly as much as I am by the current bid (north of 23 grand when I looked, probably 50% higher now).

I reckon that lot would make well over £100k after expenses.
