Members glockanator Posted October 8, 2011 Members Report Posted October 8, 2011 Good Day- I was approached by a guy at work about buying his "Collection" of leather tools. I am not sure what he has its all sight un seen. I know he has a head knife that I am interested in but other than that not sure. My question is what would be a fair price for stamps punches etc? Thanks Quote
King's X Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 $25 bucks?? It would depend on what he has......sorry to say this but it just depends on quite a few things. I know this doesn't help, but buyer beware! Good luck! Quote Greetings from Central Texas! The Grain Side Up blog #TheGrainSideUp

Any thoughts? Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted October 9, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted October 9, 2011 It'll depend on what they are. If they are chrome plated Craftools (the good ones made 15-20 years ago), then you should be fine in the $2-3 or maybe $5-6 range. If they are the 'new' ones that suffer from lack of quality control, then I wouldn't even bother getting them. If they are either stainless or blued steel, and look to be hand made or at least hand finished....they could be worth a good bit more as those conditions show better quality. Get a little info on them and post it here, that way we can give you a better idea of what they're worth.

Members glockanator Posted October 19, 2011 Author Members Report Posted October 19, 2011 Well that turned out to be a bust! He had mostly "New" tandy stamps and was asking full retail price for them ($8 a piece). He did not have a head knife (which is what I was the most interested in.) But I did get some goodies. I picked up three books and a motorcycle accesory pack for $20 a swivel knife, stone,and some other misc. little things for $75.00 out the door. I don think I did to bad. Quote
