Boston Quick Adjust
« on: September 24, 2015, 01:31:18 PM »
I just looked at MJD'S Thursday tool list and saw that the Boston quick adjust wrench sold for $2,185 at his auction the other week. Makes me think hard about selling mine. He claimed he never saw one for sale before.

The Hilary Klein miniatures have dried up for the time being. Tough to find one I don't have.

I also saw that. Can hardly believe it. I have one and have sold a couple others. That is a crazy price.

There were several lots that went rather high because two guys wanted them.  I left before this wrench sold so don't know what happened with it.

Overall I thought prices were high...of course that could be because I'm rather cheap. :grin:

There had to be over a hundred guys selling in the parking lot this year.  There were some real good buys out there.  Managed to snag a Hay-Budden 166 lb. anvil, a like new Columbian 3 1/2 in. jaw vise, and a 5 1/2 in. Wilton bullet vise with the swivel stationary jaw.  First one of them that I've seen.

All in all a good time...even the wife enjoyed it.

From what Ive seen everything goes high at his sales. I cant buy anything from there. Ive bought one wrench in my life from there. An unmarked Remingtons patent buggy wheel wrench. When it arrived I discovered that the bolt on the top jaw had been cut off. I contacted them and they made it at least somewhat right. I think the outside swap meet has some bargains now and then. RustCollector has done good there.
