Hi Doug

My boss would hand me my walking papers if got $11,000.oo of bits LOL HAHAHAHA and call the guys with the white jacket that ties in the back.

I'm going to track this one for kicks to see if he sells it to Rockler maybe or PC dealer.
Looks like most of the bits are all standard bits.
But it looks like is he about $5,000.oo dollars to high if not more.

Thanks for the link

There was another one with 2100 bits for $21,500.. I looked at Judy with the sad dog eyes, and got a different look back..

 

[Joe Lyddon]

I'm 'watching' it too... just for kicks... I don't think it will sell at all.

Some of those bits are definitely worth more than $10... depending on the mix, one could make out pretty well reselling on ebay 1-2 at a time, etc. At Forums too!

Now, would PC stand behind them in case something went wrong? I doubt it.

Interesting...

Hi Joe

I think it would be like a craftsman tool item, they don't care they will replace it if it's do to bad mfg. or a error making the bit.
But I think you would need to get them for 2.oo a bit in order to resell them but on the 2nd item he has listed it would be about 5.oo dollars a bit.
But like you I don't think they will sell but you never know about items on ebay, I see items go for list and over list on eBay,, is a funny place..

First off, that’s 0 reference seller which means he’s never sold anything in his life nor does he have the expierience to do so. If he had expierience, he wouldn’t have posted all at once for 11000 and pay the hefty eBay fee.
That is pure stupidity if I ever saw one.
And I would never pay anyone with 0 reference a dime let alone 11000.
eBay people must be laughing their A** off for making EZ money.

Hey Guys

This seller has been trying to sell these bits for at least a couple of months now, and has dropped his original asking price, which was approx. $75,000.00 USD, if I recall correctly.

You can see some of the previous attempts at selling them on eBay!!!!

Your right about being a newbie with no selling experience as they will never sell in one package, least not until the seller gets some experience rating as no one in his right mind would risk that kind of money, without a guarantee.

To each his own.

I actually feel bad for him.
Think I’ll shoot him an email and explain to him how eBay is taking advantage of his inexpirience.

I sent him a message this morning..

The key word maybe SUCKER

It sounds like someone got him to buy the PC stock as way to get rich quick on eBay.
Very sad now he has a USP truck load of router bits and no router to use them on.

I'm almost sure PC would like to know about the items, they may have a claim on them or the US Bank.Court would like to know about them also.

No one has that type of stock in the garage without a hook in it, (HOT maybe or consign stock)

It looks like the bits are on a store shelf.. I sent him a message, and this is his response..

-------------
"This is a one shot deal and when it's gone it's gone. I'm not interested in making any money on the deal, Thanks for the heads up!!"
-------------

I wonder how many one shots he's going to give it..

. . .No one has that type of stock in the garage without a hook in it, (HOT maybe or consign stock). . .

Have to admit - that was my first impression too.
Hate to be so skeptical - but seen it happen too many times at local trade lots.

 

[bobj3]

I know this is a old post but I did track this guy for a bit and he did relist them 6 times for the same price (both lots) some people just don't get it, he must have more money than brains.

[unlimitedwoodworker]

he's dumb if this was all legit and it was me in his boat i would sell them in lots, like 10 bits in each lot, maybe 20 30 maybe even 5 NOT 1100!! lol
