What would this be worth.

[kvt]

Ok, have a guy trying to sell off some of the stuff his grandfather left him. This first batch is to find out price for me to go by
then I will post some others that looking for price to tell him to go for. or if someone from here wants it I can give them his info, He or I might ship it.
Now for the on I'm looking at
It is a card file system full with this stuff
.
A bunch of various blades

A whole bunch of Nicolson files of all diff types and sizes

All kinds of hex keys And a couple of handle looking things

A bunch of reamers, A couple of them are adjustable, and a bunch are tapers

All kinds of taps

Some dies, drills, and brace bits.

a bunch more taps and tap handles

A bunch of old cold chisles


a bunch more drill bits


a some more dies

Set of 8 Starrett pin punches

All knds of Norton stones


And a few snap ring pliers

What should This be worth for me to go after.

The stones might be useful, the punches too, all the edged tooling depend on edge quality for value.

The punches, dies, stones are about it. The rest of it maybe someone that just bought a house and doesn't have anything.

Ok, now for stuff that I do not want that he has. That I want to give him prices to ask for. Or if someone here want something maybe he would ship or I can see about getting it ship to you.

Ok, This looks to be some kind of punch press, and he has a bunch of dies for it as well. Did not see any name one it.

This looks like some kind of bender, kind old

Looks like about a 12 or so ajustable ring/metal roller Did run a piece of brass through it.

This one is about the same size Metal shear. I cut some brass and thin steel with it.

YOu can tell by the spray can the size of this arbor press.

This is a grinder set up with a what I think was a sears drill bit sharpener

This one is about a 12 inch bender. It also works I tested it out also.
If you know about what he should ask for each, or what you would pay let me know. Also if you want something I will give you his info. I just do not have room for them. he has not been out to gouge but would like for things to be bought by people who will use them I go a mill and a bunch of stuff from him already.

For me rusty=not desperate enough to be interested unless it's tuppence and a balloon.

KVT,

I would be interested in the bender, that round rusted up looking thingy. Say $30.? plus some more endmills.

Edit: Also be interested in the press next to the RAID can.

 

[magicniner]

Isn't the round rusted up looking thingy a set of rolls for curving sheet material?

Ken,

For the first batch you posted it depends on how used-up the taps, reamers and files are, and that's hard to judge from here.
Is the cabinet included? To me that might be worth more than the contents.

For the shear, press, bender, etc. it all depends on finding the right buyer. Sure they need some clean-up, but for someone with limited shop space and working on thin parts, those could be real useful.

Those drill bit sharpener attachments can be had cheap even when new: http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=32965&cat=1,43072,43086

But, but, that slide looking gizmo at the bottom of the fixture looks interesting.
Love the design. Making do with what you have on-hand.

Making do with what you have on-hand.

Agreed. If I had it I'd use it.
In fact one project on my list is to make my drill bit sharpener (same type) work with either my bench mount belt sander, or a "Work Sharp" sharpener.
