I don't see a lot of tools I want to buy at estate sales, and they often have high prices, but this one was a little different. I stopped there yesterday and looked at tool boxes and a parts washer. The J C Penny box that was for sale had some Indestro sockets in it, but the price was too high.
Came back this afternoon and talked him down on the box ( He said it is "vintage" and worth a lot of $! ). I didn't mention the Indestro hex sockets and 1/2" drive Indestro sockets were worth more than the box.
As for the parts washer, it was a Northern Tool 20 gallon model that yesterday he wanted $200 for. Today it was $100 and the same price as the same Chinese washer at Harbor Freight and Northern Tool. Offered $70 to see what they would say and they wouldn't come down so it stayed there.
