<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 9838159, member: 13464&quot;]General question for all you tool folk out there...</p><p>I have a friend who is trying to disburse her father&#039;s estate. He was a mechanic of sorts. He had/has a HUGE pole barn and although the bulk of his tools are big ticket items (which I understand have been sold)....they are looking at how to clear out all the smaller hand tools. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had been in the barn last summer and from my experience of being gal that ran estate sales - I didn&#039;t see a lot in the hand tools that were worth big bucks. Mostly beat up old hammers, screw drivers, wrenches and the like. She called me yesterday to ask my opinion as to how to get rid of all of them. She said there are like 300 screwdrivers, 20 sets of sockets, a pile of hammers.....</p><p><br /></p><p>My suggestion was to get them all in like piles... perhaps pull out a few for individual pricing that are in better condition and worth a few dollars and price individually. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then make box lots containing - one of every kind of screwdriver (lg, small, phillips, straight), hammer, saw, level, assorted box of fasteners, needlenose and regular plyers, socket set, ruler, etc - and advertise them as a 1st time handyguy or gal tool set....great for 1st time homeowner, college student, young teen... and price the box as a lot - $10- $20 or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also thought make a box lot of items for those creative people who make things out of old tools... I guess I&#039;ll have to go look and see what seems appropriate for that purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>They could also let people make up their own box lot...</p><p><br /></p><p>So, my question is: does anyone else have any good ideas for moving this huge lot of non-descript tool stuff??</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks! </p><p>Cheerio,</p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
