A few years back, maybe, but I think probably not now.

 A Casaday brought $1625 at spring 2013 MVWC auction so If the right people see it he may get his price.

Personally, I wouldn't give near that. Seems like they are coming up for sale 2 or 3 times a year now, for the past few years. Not as rare as they were thought to be. Plus, by now most of the big money should have theirs, so unless they are running them up to protect the value of their own, I'd bet the value isn't there. The ones that pay $1625 at the meet are also the ones that shy away from computers. Last few on ebay haven't hardly even touched his opening bid price.

and a seller with 0 feedback.  Risky IMO even IF it were valued there.

If I had the money id buy it. This is at the summit of my want list. Numaro uno. I had one bought and paid for once for $200. Lady backed out. Wishing I had this one.

That's just it, those of us that still need and want it don't have that kind of money to spend on a single wrench. I want one too, but even $200 is just to much for a wrench that has no local ties for me. Be interesting to see if the big money guys protect the value of theirs by buying this one. With all that is going on in the world, and the plethora  of wrenches hitting the market in the past 10 years, I personally see the day of the $1,000 implement wrench disappearing, but this may be one (also the TR590) that stays right up in that area. Monkey wrenches may stay way up there because of the number of monkey collectors.

now THERE is a hobby I have never considered, what do you feed them?

That's a silly question.....

You feed them nuts of course, some of them have pretty strong jaws.

[Lewill2]

All sizes of nuts too......

Hex ones and square ones- leave the round ones for pipe wrenchers.

He didn't get a sale on the first try.
