Yeah, it'll be a while before I get any doubles myself.  Just scored a Plomb 18" pipe wrench last week though.  More on that later.....

Darn - those are nice. I like the shallow offset design. What is it, like 10 degrees?
Not flat, but not deep offset, either. Sometimes you need one of those shallow offset box ends.

Post by: FrankLee on May 21, 2011, 02:30:46 PM
Plombs have a 15 degree offset.

I just picked-up another 1222 pebble and an 1135 smooth today for $1.00 each.

Proto 5849 with a couple of extensions. I didn't check the extensions for markings, but they are 10" and 18" I'm guessing? The sockets are all Taiwan. This beauty needs a new home. The pawnshop has $400 on it. I'm tempted to ask if they'll break up the 'set'. I thought you might enjoy having a look.

$400 ???????
Title: Re: Plomb Pebble
Post by: kxxr on May 27, 2011, 06:19:13 AM
$400 is what the sticker says. I think the pawn shop usually tries to find  similar items and see what they sell for new. Then they factor that in to their asking price. Somewhere between what they gave for it and the new price is what they would actually take for it.
I'm curious though, what would you expect a more reasonable asking price to be for the whole set? What would you think for just the ratchet?
I would guess they found a page like this:
http://www.google.com/products/catalog?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&q=one+inch+drive+sockets&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=17547702847171479986&sa=X&ei=p4nfTdzRFIiisAOy2aGeBw&ved=0CH0Q8wIwBQ
and set the asking price from there.

Oh no, that isn't how it works. The 'loan' was probably somewhere between 25 and 50 bucks, unless I miss my guess. That's how most of the shops work it here, roughly. They figure to pay, or 'loan' about a quarter of what they can retail it for. Then, they price it as new. That's the closest thing to a formula I've been able to come up with after many years of pawn shopping. You have to factor in a few other things; what guy is working, what day it is, how long it has been on the shelf ... things like that. I wouldn't ever, ever pay what they ask, just on principle alone. But, with all that said, I have made some very sweet deals in pawnshops. The internet and ebay have made it much tougher to find good deals though. Everyone just wants top dollar, regardless of condition or demand etc. It's still a fun way to find things you didn't even know you needed.

I saw a Proto 3/4 pebble in better shape than this for $50 asking yesterday.
   I am sure they would have taken 35, but Redding is 3 1/2 hours from me
