Title: Etsy can be a good source too
Post by: rustcollector on May 02, 2013, 07:06:20 PM

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.

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.

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.
