catskin Report post Posted February 21, 2017 I seem to have gotten myself into a less than good deal. I bought a clicker that I was told was in working condition BUT it seems it can't be fixed. Included in the deal were a bunch of dies some have never been used. How would a person figure out prices for them? Possibly by how many inches of cutting edge they have? I hope to recover some of my money by selling the dies. I am in Saskatchewan Canada. If anyone is interested near enough to come and see them they are welcome to come. When I get them sorted out I intend to post them for sale. I think there are chap and vest dies plus a lot as yet to be identified. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trox Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Hi, this is my opinion, the value of the die is determined based on demand. Most clicker dies are custom jobs based on a particular patterns, the universal dies are most in demand. Like dies for belts, different size squars and holster dies are easy to sell. Spesial dies and shoemaking dies etc. not so much. I have a big box full of shoe making dies and I do not even want the trouble to sell them. Of course the quality of steel and construction adds value, but only if somebody needs it. I think there is a Facebook group about trading dies, it's a closed group but it is out there and you might apply for membership. There are other groups for selling leather tools like " leather tools for sale" and "leathertools for sale trade or collect" One is open and the other wants membership. Anyway, I find these groups easy to sell and buy everything connected to leather work. It's no auction, cost free and with paypal pretty safe. Especially the first group were the moderator has done a good job to exclude bad users/scammers. Many people out there looking for second hand clicker dies my self including, take some pictures of the die on top of a meter ruler and post them in the Facebook group. Good luck Tor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catskin Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Thank you Trox!!! What I have seem to be for vests, biker belt, likely some for saddle parts. Some I still have to identify. What I am wondering is would there be anyway that using the length of steel used to make the die as a way of estimating its value. For example if one has a meter of steel ( cutting edge ) in it would that mean it would be worth twice as much as one that has 1/2 a meter in it? I do think that the more bends to create the shape would make it worth a bit more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
