royboy Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Is there a site where one can purchase used tools and equip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mack Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Ebay, but the prices are usually high. I've had the best luck at large flea markets in more rural areas. What I've found there has generally been a ton cheaper than anything I've found online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 In my experience ebay is generally 3 to 10 times more expensive than checking out fleamarkets, junk stores, yardsales, or just talking to people. Talking to everyone is a real plus----Just this year an older member of my church gave me a swedish cast steel anvil (given on the the local college's metal arts facility), 5 sets of tongs, 80 pounds of welding rod and racks from Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetail, etc. He says that when he finds the forge he'll give me that as well. He just wanted to see the stuff get used. It's hard to evaluate the condition of tools on the net and many folk selling don't know squat about what they have---I've seen things listed as great condition that I woudn't even throw on the scrap pile... My last fleamarket find was a commercially made hot cut in good condition for $1. Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
