Title: From $10 to $900+
Post by: Lewill2 on March 04, 2014, 06:13:12 PM
A starting bid of $10 to just over $900 with a little over 2 days to go this Bradley's Wonder wrench is an example of one of those rare wrenches. I've noticed a few of them in the last few years.

It actually went to 900 in less than 36 hours from listing. I'd say it has about 600 or so to go yet, possibly more but probably not on ebay.

Wow. What makes it so special? Or is it just a matter of being extremely rare and highly sought after?

That is out of my realm, I just noticed it and posted. One of the other guys have to jump in on its rarity. Rustcollector seems to know and I'm sure Carl knows all about it.

Super rare+ super eye appeal + not offered for sale often= super crazy high price

The last two on ebay brought $1500 and $1000 respectively. This is the same seller that had the K152 Planet Jr that brought over $500. I think he has a following so this one will go in the $1500+ range I'm betting. Wish it was coming to me. (Insert Price Is Right losing sound here). CW

Holy smokes, it went for $1358! I paid less than that for my pickup truck.  :-P


And now the same seller has another one listed, almost but not quite the same:
