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.

Hi I recently did some pipe insulating in my loft. The only two I didn't do were the vent pipes. Not sure if that is the right term for them? They are the pipes that feed water back into the top of the tanks when there is excess, presumably from steam, expansion, etc. The one going to the cold...

Hi, I’m looking to retrain as a gas engineer and do a new entrants gas course. I’m a bit concerned by the ‘on-job’ work experience/shadowing, as some course want to charge £1500 to pair you up with a qualified engineer. Some courses don’t offer pairing and suggest you find your own engineer to...
