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)?

I'll just be spending part of my SS check!
Papaw, the dog called me. He wants to know why the doghouse is full of stuff....
Price is up to $122.50 but time is running out. If Rusty was a nice guy he would buy them for Papaw.
Well, I bid at $160 or so, then left for work. Got here with 3 minutes left and they were at $227.
Checked the auction and watched the last three minutes-

Somebody wanted those a LOT more than you did papaw :(
And at that price, they are welcome to them. I'll build a set one by one, I guess I have three sizes already, and there are at least 8 of them.
$270.99! Maybe you have a secret admirer Papaw and they bought it for you. (I doubt it)
