This thing is crazy, H D Smith all steel chisel for a mere $1,250.00. It ends tonight, bidding started around 9 bucks.

Wow. As it turns out, the winner's inability to 'snipe' cost him quite a pile of dough.
Wow. I probably would have walked right by that at a yard sale. Clearly, I need to look more closely at some of the "junk" I see at sales.

Just crazy !!!!
what a deal....that guy will probably frame it on the wall with the price he payed...lol
And the loser was willing to go $1275.
And it started at $9.99!!
Well, I saw this chisel so I went out in my blacksmith shop and dug up one that I had bought at the flea market. I took pictures of it and couldn't get them to load up! I know I've done it before but right now I'm not feeling too smart!

Clean it up, get some pictures, sell it to the guy who got skunked on the last auction!
