The only one I really like is the GEM in the box. Of course, that's the most expensive one...
go figure...

Looking with an untrained eye, I think I like them all.  Clearly the one in the box that looks totally unused jumps out at me.  As we all know, any old tool that's in mint condition and still in the box, usually sells at a premium.  When I go tool hunting, I'll have to start looking beyond just old hand planes!

Beautiful stuff, but I'd be afraid to use any of them because of the condition.  I'll take any and all of them with a little wear and rust.

Yup doesn't cost a thing to look! I am glad to see them all too.
I think some of the prices are, uh, optimistic.
 Also know as......
 
 Are you kidding me? I'd be a millionaire if I actually got this much for my junk!! And guess what? I rolled up in a 30 year old truck.
 In another 90 years the price still won't be this high.

Many of these items belong to Jim Bode. 21shark on ebay.
I really like Jim. He is a great dude and he really really loves tools.
 He has stuff that is actually for sale and other things he doesn't really want to sell at all.
So he just puts a price no one would ever pay on them.

Here is another neat one.

That little one is 4" boys and girls.
 A 4" Marples boxwood spokeshave, only one I ever saw, and I have looked a little. heeheheh

 Naaa, he gets in on the free listing specials they run from time to time, and plasters tons of stuff up.
Just go to his sellers page for an enjoyable tour and you'll see what I mean.
 There are things I would buy this morning if I had the money. Great stuff, decent price.
  Then there is a goodly percentage nobody is ever going to buy for any particle of his asking price.

 He is always haggle-able though, and in fact, expects it.
 I bet you could rend your garmints and rub gravel through your hair and insult his ancestry and get that rosewood centerwheel plow plane for, oh I dunno, 4 thousand? Of course it would take an all day haggle, maybe more!!

I mean to try listing something on ebay but I just never get around to it. Free is especially appealing though and would be a great way to try it out. I did look at some of his other items (not all 28 pages!!) and there are some very nice things ... all out of my league for the most part. I love my $5 a sack specials.

Well, just for the sake of discussion, in my experience, if you must be told it's funny, it's .... uh, borderline funny at best. Must be an 'inside' joke. I love funny. I'm bummed that I'm missing out on that one: )
