Is their an interest in these and do plumbers want them. They are top quality and expensive but are people willing to buy them. Reason I'm asking is I have a chance to pick up 36 wrenches from an auction and wanted to know if I would be able to get rid of the many I won't need??

Speculate to accumulate :vanish:
 
Big discount to Arms members obviously BOGOF.....regards Turnpin:6:
 
Aslong as they are new and not returns or damages. Rigid are really really good quality normally. I snapped teeth once foc replacement same day at crossings
 
Its not a question of whether they will buy.

The question is at what price they will buy, and can you make a profit at that price, once your costs of packing, shipping and payment processing are deducted.

Most active plumbers will already have the hand tools that they need on a day to day basis. If they lose one they won't fanny around searching the internet, they are likely to replace them the next time they are in a stockists.

So therefore you are trying to sell them a spare tool, or perhaps an extra tool for the apprentice.

To motivate someone to make a non-urgent tool purchase, they will normally need a deal that gives them a good saving over normal trade prices. It will probably also need to be a bit of extra discount to allow for the fact that you are an unknown trader, so they are taking a bit of a risk. The faster you want to clear your stock and get your money back, the bigger discount you will need to offer.
 
I will be receiving a variety of wrenches as I have made the purchase but will be waiting on shipping a few weeks. Their will be aluminum ones from 14 to 48 inches. All are used but like new. The two 48's and 4 36's look almost new. Very well cared for. Their will be six new 12" steel ones though. I also contacted ridged and am ordering a few sets of jaws and nuts which is the only thing that can go wrong with these wrenches. I will post up some prices and pics as soon as they arrive.
