  1. Hi... just a helpful comment. You're about 120.00 away from where this would sell on most sites..... When Tandy has a sale on tools, you can pick those 9 up "new" for 6 bucks, and the swivel knife is their Basic swivel.. Just tryin' to offer some advice to help you sell those. Best of Luck!
  2. FUDGE!!!! Can't win for losing!!!
  3. Hi.. Please don't take this in a harsh way, it is not intended as such... however, I think you're about $300.00 on the high side of what you would probably get out of all this if you placed it on Ebay.. Somewhere in the $75.00(ish) range sounds about like the top I'd expect. Just wanted to give you my thoughts from experience on Ebay for something like this. Hope you see this as "helpful".. Best of Luck, John
  4. Sent you a Message.. Thanks!
  5. I wish I was experienced(skilled) enough, and had enough to do, to make the cost of purchasing GOOD tools and stamps from someone other than Tandy... BUT, Tandy has put the brakes on my desire for Leathercrafting period, thanks to them becoming Corporate Pigs, instead of a Profitable Company still LOYAL to people in the craft!! I did some leatherwork as a young man.. but once out of High School, Girls and Drinking made it not so cool.. So didn't get back into it until 20 years later.. Found the new store in my city that they opened after the old one had been closed years before. I became a Wholesale Club member (GOLD), as it was a nice way to save some money.. WELL... Tandy "obviously wasn't making enough money this way, so they stopped the initial Wholesale Club, and came up with the "Elite".. Gold Membership was/is $35.00 a year... When they started the "?Elite?" level, they essentially just increased the PRICE of Gold Membership Benefits/Savings and gave it a different name.. charging $150.00 a year for the "SAME" (or sometimes worse) discounts as they had been giving the Original GOLD Members... then, the $35.00 a year Gold Members got shafted, and now had to pay MORE for the same items than they/we had been paying in the past? I contacted Tandy Corporate numerous times after their change... whenever a new SKIVER came out... asking them why as a GOLD member I was having to pay MORE than in previous years??? At first they told me I wasn't/Gold members weren't paying more... then when I cited examples, they told me that "their" costs had increased.. When I showed them 30 items that had been the same price for 2 years, but now cost Gold members more than it had in the past, and that now, to get 25 of those 30 at or near the price we had been able to, I/We had to pay the $150.00 a year and become an "?Elite?" member?!?! They took the information I gave them, and this is what they did.. they told me "Sorry, that's how it's going to be.. If you don't like the NEW Wholesale Club Memberships, you can get your Membership Refunded... Am I the ONLY person that has seen this/been impacted by this??? I guess what makes this worse for me, is I am disabled and unemployed now, and there's a snowballs chance in hell I can afford they regular sales prices, and I can't afford their $150.00 a year so I can get the benefit of pay affordable prices... I've asked if they would/could be willing in offering Military/Veteran or Disabled Membership Discounts, but Local Store Manager sent me to Corporate again, and when I got ahold of Corporate to ask, they chose to NOT return my messages(which were sincere and pleasant).., and on after 3 weeks of calling 1 time only each week, I was told that the decision for something like that was up to the Store manager??? So?? ANY HELPFUL RECOMMENDATIONS/IDEAS???? THEY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Thanks!! John

  12. Hi Joe, I wonder if you would consider making a trade... ... Would you be interested in some nice pieces of "Alibates Flint"... for some shaped Desert Ironwood, and or having you take the Desert Ironwood, and replacing the handle on a knife(or 2)??? And if you happen to have Desert Ironwood pistol grips already configured for a Ruger P89... I also have some nice looking varied colored pieces of petrified wood as well. Do let me know at your earliest convenience. thanks for your time and consideration. If I get a reply before Thanksgiving.. cool! If not - Have an enjoyable Thanksgiving!! Regards, John Martin
  13. Hi.. same question!! I tried to PM you to find out, but it says you don't accept PM's??? Settings may be off.. LMK when you can, thanks! John
  14. Hi... It looks like you've had not offers... I recommend you take a peek at E-bay to get an idea concerning how much you could reasonably ask for the items you have listed. I do sincerely wish I could get $10.00 for some of my duplicate/older Crafttool stamping tools... Once you take a look at e-bay let me know if you decide to drop your pricing, as I may have an interest.. Thanks, regards, and hope I helped some... John
  15. Hey... let me know how to get the $5 to you.. Thanks! John

    Hey Holly.. a while back Alcoveshop had one of these they were selling... They were asking $100.00 and $10.00 for shipping. (I'm guessing they were going to send it UPS ground). No buyers though... His looked in a little bit better condition but he may have gave it a good once over before taking a pic. You can find his posting still up to verify mine.. I was not able to contact him recently to make him another offer on it, so it may be fortuitous that I found yours. Think about it, and let me know how much you'll accept for it. thanks!!! John
  21. Hi.. saw you were in the same topic area as me, and freaked a little.. it was kinda eerie seeing my initials sitting next to my log on id... J.A.M. stand for John Arthur Martin.. Just a little freaky!*(Hope I don't sound too weird... things like that always get me)

    Have a great day!

  22. Hey Richard.. sorry took a while to get back to you. I'm full of it..... questions that is. In purchasing 1000, are the bags set up either 500 zinc or 500 black?? Or are they bags of 500 mixed?? And... how do you accept payment?? Thanks!!! (AGAIN!) Regards, John
  23. Hey Randy.. just saw the posting, and fingers crossed you haven't listed or sold the second knife yet.. Let me know... thanks! John
