Right down my alley! I'm bidding, but I bet that set goes high!

They're already high to a cheapskate like me!

But that is a gorgeous set...

Good luck!

I quit at $60. I may have gone higher, but decided not to do so.

Papaw you know you want them. Go for it, they're only up to $104.05. They would look nice on the dining room table for Thanksgiving.

Three days left, I'll watch until the end. If it doesn't get crazier, I might go for it, I only see two of those sizes offered usually.

Assuming it doesn't move up before the end (it likely will), you should snipe with ~3 seconds left. It's the only way I'll bid...

Papaw, if it was me, and it's not, but if they were auctioning singly, I'd squirm a little at $30 each, but I'd probably pull the trigger because it fills a hole in the collection. $150 is a different story that assumes that the checkbook can stand the strain. Consider what they might bring if sold by the each and         one hundred and fifty dollars and 00/100 cents
may be a bargain.

Now that he has added the sizes, I am inclined to bite again, but will wait until the end and bid my true max and see if I win.

Just don't tell Mamaw, unless you want to sleep with the dog.

While sleeping today( I work the night shift), I dreamed that set sold for $700!! Woke up and got on Ebay immediately to check. Just a nightmare, that's all!

Time's running out. It's only $112.50. Your dream is telling you to bid $700. I'm sure the seller will be very happy.

Geez Papaw, wrench collecting is supposed to RELIEVE STRESS, not create it. What will happen after the auction if you contract P.A.W.P.A&W.S  (Post Auction Wrench Possession Anxiety & Wampumlessness Syndrome)?

Papaw, the dog called me. He wants to know why the doghouse is full of stuff....
