Title: Can't seem to even give them away !
Post by: Papaw on November 02, 2017, 10:05:04 PM

I have been attempting to thin the herd but seems no one wants old wrenches anymore. I have priced things at giveaway prices and still no buyers !
I don't even care how much I may have paid for most of the wrenches I still have. I would just like to sell them.

Papaw, try selling things in a mixed lot.  You won't make as much as selling individually but they may find a new home.  Or donate them to Habitat Restore, Goodwill or Salvation Army - get a receipt for your taxes.

Zero resale on them here too.   I buy them but I might wait out a year or two for the prices to drop.  Lol!

  The seller rarely if ever sells the old brown ones to anyone else.

After me, I only have hopes my son picks up the hobby.

My wife does not call it a hobby she refers to it as a curse.

All good suggestions, but I think, other than auctions starting at $.01, I have tried all of them. No Habitat Store here and I don't think they even have an idea what these might be. used to be one here but it is gone. I have visited one in Houston, but it was all leftover  construction stuff.

The habitat store does not know what most tools are.

I am not sure how the rates are, but the Ebay Foreign Shipment Deal has worked for a few buyers.
