Hi all...

Spring is finally coming around (I hope) and I think it's time to clean
out the garage.

I've got a ton of machine shop type items for sale. All these belonged
to my Dad, who had been a Tool And Die Maker for 40+ years. But since
his passing last year, all these things sat idle and I think it would be
better if someone else could make good use of them, not to mention my
Mom could use more space in the garage to park the car.

I have listed some of them on my webpage athttp://www.ve3gop.com/sale
but there are a lot more, such as as lathe inserts, drill bits, milling
machine accessories, calipers, clamps, files, etc, etc. Please email me
for info/pics or if you're interested in viewing of what's available.
I'm located in Mississauga, Ontario (Britannia Rd./Hwy 407 area).

This being an estate sale, I would also appreciate your generosity to
help my Mom with bills, etc....

I can be contacted via email posted on my website. Don't want to post it
here because of spam, etc....

Thank you!

Do you know what everything is worth? *This may be difficult if you're
not in the business yourself. *It's pretty common to see relatives of the
deceased make severe pricing mistakes when there's a lot of specialized
stuff involved.

You may want to see if he had any buddies in the tool & die making
business, and ask them if they'll help you with assessing the value of
what you've got. *Even competitors are often willing to help out in a
situation like this. *With a list of prices in hand then you can bargain
fairly without giving the store away.- Hide quoted text -

Louis and Tim...

thank you for the ideas. AS you might have guessed, I have no clue how
much to ask for these things, nor do I know the names of some of the
tools/accessories, etc.
I know what they do but that's about it.
I do have a friend, who is in the business. We actually went through
most of the stuff last year and he figured that it might have been
easier to just sell the whole lot (whatever you see in the pics plus a
lot of extra stuff) and it should fetch around a thousand dollars. I
would prefer to sell everything at once rather than one by one, but no
one seems to be interested (or at least some of the people that looked
at it).

I'll do some more research and maybe then I'll be able to come up with
some numbers.
Once again, thank you guys for the ideas.
