Title: Stanley 45's
Post by: Northwoods on June 17, 2018, 02:48:48 PM

What would you say if you saw two very common looking Stanley 45's at a well-advertised and well-attended farm auction go for $95 each?

I would have given $40 for the pair.

Man, that's a bargain in my neck of the woods!

Did they include all of the blades?

Were they complete in the box?  That's not too bad a price if they were.  They are frequently missing some parts, like the slitter, smallest blade, depth stops, and cam rest.

Last weeks auction here had one that was 90% complete.

I stopped bidding at $100

went for a bit more.

No blades; no box.
But four slim boxes of cutters went for $20 each.  I thought that was dirt cheap.
