Antique Tools For Sale

[jimbo503]

Not sure how. Maybe you all are misunderstanding me. I am not an antique dealer. I obtained there tools from my Grandfather who would have been 119 years old this year. I have had them for quite some time. I just thought that this would be an ideal place to pass these on to someone who would appreciate them. I am not in a position to give them away.

We have gone as far as we need to go in this discussion.
No one is here to bash, demean, or disrespect anyone else.

I hope sellers find buyers and buyers find good deals.

Well, since I started this poopstorm, I will have to chime in....

Sorry I offended you, Jimbo. Good luck on your sales.

Rusty, sorry also, didn't know I offended you as well. I only meant to add a little levity to my post.

I'll log out and go elsewhere now, as my original post has been construed as not neighborly. I'm done for a while, have fun everyone.

( I actually had spent about 1/2 hour typing a response to explain what I said, but saw Papaw didn't like this thread's direction, so I deleted it.)

You guys have fun, the ignorant keykeeper is out, as I don't think I have anything of benefit to anyone anymore.

It's been fun.

All I saw in the "rules" were  "Buy, sell, and swap your tools. The focus of Tool Talk is old,antique,classic, and vintage tools". I saw nothing about "if you're here for profit you're in the wrong place"as Oily Rascal eludes to. Perhaps there is an updated  list of rules which I missed?

The word "sell" means just that. I offer an item at a price. If no one wants the item or they want it but the price is too high, I can't sell it to them.  I either lower the price (not give it away) or close up shop. That's the free market place.

You all make it sound  as if I should have put "free antique tools"...........I'm sure I'd get responses then from certain of you.

Nobody is asking anything for free here.  If you will look at the different sections of Tool Talk you'll notice that *only one* is for buying and selling.  The rest are about what we do best -- sharing information and sharing what we have found.

Because of distance I can't participate in the Give aways ,trading /selling at "mates" rates, I wish I could. I  learned early that the core posters here have become as "family" giving, sharing information to ALL and willing to share extras and unwanted tools with their friends.
Most of us like to find a "Steal " and sell at profit ( well at least occasionally) but that is not our main focus , finding something we need/want in our pet Field is what turns me/us on. Having said all that I have to agree with rusty !  Jimbo has followed the written rules and coped flack for it!  Stick with us Jimbo listen, learn and tell us about your collecting, post some Whats it's ,that will get our attenion. 

One of the greatest thing about this forum is the freely shared knowledge and friendship.   PRICELESS.

Aw cmon Aaron, it aint no big deal. Lifes too short, who cares what someone else likes, dislikes, finds offensive or misconstrues ( within reason of course, a line which you certainly have not done your best too cross. ) You cant please everyone all the time and I would have said the exact same thing you said ( more than likely even more abruptly ) given the right mood.

If we all decide to live in a cardboard box and share the identity of a cardboard box imagine how boring the world would be.

Some would prefer it that way and they only win by your withdrawing your intent to post and share your likes, dislikes and opinions. ( within reason of course )
