the age old adage:

what is it worth?

or what can you get for it?

you might be better selling it off piecemeal....

there are a few items there that I would like -> but do not need everything...

This was a local guy's 36 year career box. He's retiring soon and tossed it out there. The pics are of the most valuable drawers and I ran through each tallying up what I thought. He was firm $3k and I kept coming up a bit short.

There is that common issue now with lots where, yeah, don't need everything...

Don't need a wheel barrow, pallet jack might be better.

It is worth well over $3k...and if you piece it out will probably double your money in a year. Where is it?

Lot sales always bring less than selling piece meal . If you have the cash and the engery to break it up and sell by individaul item like Bill says double your money.

Many of the measuring tools have QC stickers so they have been qualified and likely looked after.
He is offering you a decent deal. IMO

late to the party here, but hope you grabbed it for $3K and have been thinking every day since is Christmas.

jack vines, who already has most of that stuff, but would have bought it anyway.

The market has changed as good tools are always getting harder to come by. 3K was a pretty good deal and although I don't need much there I wouldn't of minded having another set of Kennedy boxes.
