To be honest, Phil, I didn't even try to hagle the seller down. I had my wallet out so quick the guy was speachless! He also had a set of gage blocks, Something Johnson or Johansen, that had one piece missing. He's had it for at least 6 weeks but won't come down on his asking price. I may cave on that one...

Nice score Chuck, I would hate to tell you what I paid for the one I have.

Unless the gage block set is trashy, and if it's reasonably priced, and you need one....don't let the missing block stop you. Individual blocks are available.

You can't even buy new cheapo ones for that price. Good score!

Nice catch Chuck. Good thing they weren't an Ebay seller.Even the pawn shop have wised up on the selling prices these days.
