Tool box on E Bay
Really don't think this guy is going to get $170.00 for this box do you?
It starts at $99.99 and $69.99 shipping/handling, Not including Insurance. Thanks, Tony D. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=36 4 |

It might not be that bad of a deal for someone who has a Gerstner box
with bad drawers. No, not the kind of drawers you wear.... But the carcass has seen better days. I'd pay maybe $50, Gerstners are expensive (overpriced actually), but there's not much value in this box. I have a XL box and matching base at work, costs over $1000. Probably $100 in hardwood and $50 in hardware. Buy the drawers and make a jewelry box for SWMBO??? Mark Anthony Diodati wrote: Really don't think this guy is going to get $170.00 for this box do you?

Mark Oh I know there Expensive, Thats about all its worth, TOPS, ($50.00) seeing it will need rebuilt. I got a pretty nice one at a flea market for $100.00, someone had started to strip it, so it needed re-finished, and the front panel was history, so I had to make a new ft. panel. Turned out nice though. tony D. |

(and an early one - it doesn' have the fat centre drawer to take a copy of Machinery's Handbook) You'll make that price easily. It's not in bad condition either. Water damage to the outer carcase, but the innards look good. If it were mine, I'd repair the carcase and use it. If I dealt in such things, I'd quite possibly spend this much to buy it for parts. Machinist's toolboxes are heavy. If you drop one, the contents often bulldoze the drawers into lozenges. Spare drawers can be a useful repair. Sadly it might even end up with the nameplate fastened to one of the modern Chinese copies of Gerstner toolboxes (look in Northern Tools' catalogue - they even copy the diamond mirror inside the lid), a bit of "patina" and then passing it off as genuine. OTOH, I don't list things on eBay over Xmas. Might be a good time to sell Pepto-Bismol or fripperies to fools, but the serious collector trade tens to take time off. -- Klein bottle for rent.

Thanks, Tony D. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=36 4 Don't know about Ebay, but, if a collector kicks in, probably will make MORE than that. I was at a local auction yesterday afternoon, and, was jaw-droppingly amazed by the sale of a Stanley 45 in average shape (a post-1910 model), no box and with missing parts. Why? Well within 2 minutes or less the price went from $50 (which was low...to $75...which I thought was fair) to $400! On top of that, there was a 5%-8% buyer's premium and sales tax! I had stuck my hand up at $75...but just could not belive that someone would pay THAT much money for this plane. Life is amazing. Regards Dave Mundt |

There was a like new/ very little use AP-400 Delta DC, I started the bidding at $50 and dropped out at $80 or $90. It went for either $145 or $150. They can be found cheaper than that new. -- Mark N.E. Ohio Never argue with a fool, a bystander can't tell you apart. (S. Clemens, A.K.A. Mark Twain) When in doubt hit the throttle.
