What Is A Fair Price For Old Craftool Stamps

[Studio-N]

Well I'm lucky in that I work the local flea market on the weekend. My buddy and I are the only leather guys there, so they usually find us and are willing

to sell them cheap. I'm not getting rich on it for sure at $2 resale. But it helps that Tandy is down the block selling them for $10 each.

One note, lots of time when you see "old" tools, many of them may have come from sets, those start with a "Z" and although the look old, they may not be old. "Z" marked tools are very low quality and should be avoided.

Heck, maybe you should drop me a line the next time you get a bunch, and I'll pay you more than $2 each for ones I don't have yet, plus the S&H.

I'm still looking for those under a buck stamps on Ebay, haven't spotted any yet. I'm really licking my chops about getting some of the rare numbers I don't have cheap.

I have seen very few for under a dollar but just this week i got 6 pre-63 craftools for like 2.71 a piece.

That is an excellent deal.

I've bought enough in the last 3 months that I seldom bid on group lots. Instead, I can usually be found with the other harlots and weekend warriors, on Sunday evenings bidding up the Pre 63 tools for Pro Leather Carvers. And when Hackbarth tools go up for auction, I'm usually lurking around making sure they go for at least 50% of new value.
