No doubt, you have only heard one side of the story. It's easier to blame someone other than your daughter, but in most failed marriages there is enough blame to go around. It's just not very classy to trash your ex-Son-in-Law. Your lack of class is enough to make me not buy anything, and then I saw your high prices. Wow! Good luck getting what you are asking! |

I guess I made a mistake by adding the link to my store on the page I
generated for my daughter. Its now removed. The "story" is real.

Well,,,,, when abuse of spouse and/or children is involved I have no class
at all. If I had my way the subject line would be "Widow Selling Tools".

My daughters phone number is on the Mill, Lathe, Granite, Kennedy and
Cabinet page. Mine is on the More Stuff page because I brought those items up to my place to take pics and write up the descriptions. Feel free to negotiate any deal your wish directly with her. -- Griz (aka Steve) To EMail reply delete a letter from each side of @ Tools-n-Gizmos - http://www.Tools-n-Gizmos.com "HotRod" wrote in message ...

I happen to be a tool freak myself so the thought of someone "dumping" my
tools in a rage does not excite me either. But at this point in the process they are not "his" tools. And we are trying to turn them into as much cash as we can to pay her half of debt he incurred. She is "mad at him" but not to the point of shooting herself in the wallet. I set the prices at what I think they are worth. If they are high then they won't sell and we will post them on EBay where the market will decide. I'm sure she will entertain offers. -- Griz (aka Steve) To EMail reply delete a letter from each side of @ Tools-n-Gizmos - http://www.Tools-n-Gizmos.com "Ignoramus27036" wrote in message .. . Steve, with all due respect, a thought of a mad ex-wife selling her ex husband's tools, and at rather lofty prices to boot, does not make me very excited. i On Wed, 13 Jul 2005 14:35:13 GMT, Griz wrote: The pages I created at http://tinyurl.com/cqv7x for my daughter took only a few days.

If I had my way the subject line would be "Widow Selling Tools".
Do NOT do this sir. You are posting this information in broad daylight and from what I gather the spouse may well be aware of this board. Not that I would abuse my spouse, but if I would have an as overbearing and threatening father in law as you seem to be in a brief bio, I wonder what the daughter was up to? Not to mention: "This set is complete (one of each size) but some of the pieces have been replaced by pieces from other sets. Some pcs. are marked "Webber A croblox", some "Webber croblox", some "Webber Starrett", some "Webber A croblox L.S.S. Co.", some "Webber Cleveland, O", some "Webber L.S.S. CO.", one is C.E Johnansson and one is PTW. Most are simply marked "Webber". " Damn, how "complete" is a set comprised of many? That to me is the same as saying I have an original '68 Road Runner, but the tranny, motor, and rear have been replaced. It's "complete", but I had to piece the parts together over time, as my crack smoking wife spent all my money. LMFAO, waiting for the flame. Ron |

" Damn, how "complete" is a set comprised of many? 1) Most of them are Webber, and the marking in sets does vary with the size. 2) The C.E. Johansson is of equal quality to the Webber ones, just a different vendor. "Webber" is the line carried by Starrett, "Jo" blocks are from B&S. Obviously, "L.S.S" is another form of "Starrett". Only those marked "C.E. Johansson" or PTW are of a different brand. 3) When a set has been in use for some time, some blocks wear too small for their marked size. A re-certifying service will replace those which are out of spec with others, of different brands, but will document them in the certificate. I have a set of (mostly) "Jo" blocks (C.E. Johansson), with some which have been replaced in the process of re-certifying the set. I forget who made the most of the replacement blocks, though it well might have been the PTW mentioned above -- the line that the certifying service carried for replacements. As long as those replacements are properly listed on the certification form, I would consider them to be equivalent to the original Webber blocks. However -- if the set had been built up out of rejects from the certification process, I would consider it to be close to useless. (Still, probably *much* better than the +/- 0.000050" Chinese sets.) So -- unless we know what the certification form says, and compare it to the blocks in the set, we really don't know much, other than that *some* of the blocks have been replaced at some time by someone. (I would presume that all of the ones marked Webber in some form or other are part of the original set, just as some of mine in the "Jo" blocks set are marked in full "C. E. Johansson, while other are marked with shorter forms, and the smallest are marked simply "CEJ". I do agree that most of the prices listed are rather optimistic especially with no chance to examine what is being offered (as I believe to be the case with most of us).

Looks like the whole group is suffering from a bit of castration anxiety:
the whole notion of ANY ex-wife selling a guys TOOLS is provoking a fair bit of hostility. Might have been better just to have sold the stuff, without going in to the ex-wife details. Without any evidence to the contrary, I'm inclined to believe Griz' offer is what he says it is. "jim rozen" wrote in message ... In article , Griz says... Ok Jim I guess you know more than I do.

Naah, that's not the part I had a problem with, it was "Here, here's some stuff I'm selling, check out the link, and oh by the way I have a commercial site that sells tools too". Makes it look like the usual shill/spam that we've been seeing for more than a decade. Might have been better just to have sold the stuff, without going in to the ex-wife details. Yup. He appealed to greed or sympathy or something, and came across as a shyster. Without any evidence to the contrary, I'm inclined to believe Griz' offer is what he says it is. Could be, but his approach sucks. |

But my feeling is that any items sold under these circumstances run a much higher risk then normal of being sold by somebody who doesn't own them in the first place.
