Just saw this listing on eBay.

Wonderful tools, but they will never get the asking price. Its too fragmented for practical resale.
What do you do with 938, 3/8" combo wrenches, and not a single 9/16 in the crowd?
   I doubt even Harry Epstein would take it unless it was a fraction of the ask.

I studied the photos and there is nothing critical there that I want.
I expect someone will offer about half, and they won't take it.
Epstein, Grainger, McMaster Carr, any big tool supplier will take it.

Bonney heaven indeed it is.

I sent an email to Epsteins, and they responded, saying they'd been offered it. But it's too fragmented to be worth it for them.
Darn, could have used a few of the deep metric 12-point sockets.
