My latest acquisition from Etsy. $24 shipped seemed like a fair enough price to me for the 10 inch size, especially for the overall condition it looks like it's in.

Might be a result of lack of wrench savvy. Sellers may not know what they have.

Usually that means you slap a $100 price tag on it and see what happens.
Same seller has a beautiful Deere & Co seat too, but shipping made that deal not work for me.

No no... Etsy is a teeeeerrible place to shop for wrenchs. Not worth even messing with. (youve discovered my honeyhole website) :)

I have found a few deals there, especially when they aren't familiar with what they are selling.

I have only found a few on there so far, but I can't spend a lot of time there.

As a matter of fact, I just bought a BLACKHAWK corn planter wrench on there. Showed up today. I've bought two different cutout wrenchs on there as well as a few others.

Was that the Blackhawk for $6.61? Had my eye on it, but just got a decent one so I didn't really need it.

Carl Wagner

Yeah. That was it. Its a pretty decent one. And I didn't have it and the price was right.

I pulled the trigger on the Deere & Co seat. I sold my only one I've had for $200 so this one was a good buy for me. Glad to have it.

That was a nice seat, and from what I could tell it was original and not a repop. The shipping just held me back on it for now, glad you got it.

Carl Wagner

Its twice as far to you in NY than me in MO. So it was $25 to ship. Its a beauty . One that I won't paint. A little WD40 is all. I've seen the bring over $300 easy and as much as $500 at well advertised seat auctions.

I think the shipping was $45 to me. You did real well then.
