>> A ratchet wrench.
>> The last one I see that sold. The only one I see that sold on this one new. It says $7.95, but they took a offer on it.
So, I don't know what they took. I can go on this other website and see what they took.
>> Was that whatot?
>> No, it went on eBay, but it's got a line through it. They took an offer on it.
Where's my phone at? Oh, yeah. See, here it is. Right here. So, it's the same listing right there. $7.95, but if you see what it sold for, they took the offer at 500 is what they took on it.
>> Okay. So, what would you offer? 300.
>> I think being new like this. Yeah. I do three on it.
>> Okay. I'll take that.
>> I take three on it.
>> Yeah. And what what about them things?
>> There's only there's only one listed.
>> Yeah. They said they're listed for $65, but none have sold.
>> So, what about $25 a piece?
>> I think that was fine. So, 50, right? 50 bucks to do.
>> And they, like I said, he's got a >> All right, I'm going to go out and get some more stuff. I'll be right back.
>> You You want us to help you grab it or Yeah. Yeah, if you want, man. There's a lot. Okay. Put this We'll put this over here.
Put that stuff over there and then we can look at it.
At least it's all nice. Better stuff. I seen this piece when I grabbed it. This thing looks cool. I think this light Does this light up?
>> Oh, it plugs in and lights up. There's the paper, too.
The 150 was for, >> huh?

I didn't know if you know you have so much in this and you got to get this for you know it'd be easier because then I just know what >> man to tell you the truth is I've had it for so long I just need to get rid of it.
>> Yeah.
>> You know >> and like I said we sold our business so we didn't even get a chance to put them out on the walls and stuff. We already had our walls.
>> Last sale on this one's 207. One went on bid for 207 and then one sold for $6.99 that they had on a buy it now. That's the two of them right there. See how weird it is sometimes? Like they put that one up and they put it on bid and they got two bids at 207. This person probably like >> just put it on eBay and let it sit at $6.99 and somebody bought that one in May and somebody bought that one in June. So it's hard to say what exactly.
So, >> it's worth >> I mean, would you do 150 on it?
>> For sure.
>> Okay. Yeah, I'd take 150 for it, man.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.

>> So, I'm trying to the That's why I'm picky right now on the house we're looking for is because um need a bigger space for some of the stuff I have. Last sale on this one was 194.
These are eBay prices, too. I know on a Snap-On truck, this costs a lot more.
>> Yeah, I know for sure.
>> But I got it for a good deal just because he was getting out.
>> So, >> and he's had it for so long, he couldn't even tell you how much he paid for.
>> I don't remember.

The last sales on that one.
>> Oh, you could probably change the color.
>> So, what a quarter.
>> Yeah, the last sale on it went 175. 150.

>> No, it was a chin [snorts] blue one.
>> That was a different one. 35 50 35 55 80 color the color ones go more >> 30 bucks man >> okay >> and then these are all the 10 >> yeah there's two of the same thing >> yeah got one two three these are the same that one's the same four five and then this one's a So these I probably be at like >> 40 bucks.
>> Yeah, I do like 40 bucks a piece on them.
>> Okay, I I take 40 bucks off.
>> 240.
>> Yeah, I'm good with that.
>> I think the last thing we have is this sign and >> that's a lighted sign. It's got a remote control to it.
Let me try to take a picture of them and see if it's the easiest way if they'll come up. Sometimes they won't come up by a picture, but sometimes a lot of times they will.
>> What you do? Google Lens or eBay.
>> I just do eBay and try to find some.
>> Oh, by the way, the >> You got to be careful because it only see this one only brought up, not the lighted one.
>> Somebody's asking 375, but I I don't see any that sold.
>> Yeah, somebody two people have them on.
Somebody's got one on 375. Somebody's got one on 385, but I don't there. When you go to sold listings, I don't see any that sold. Yeah, I see one that sold in 2025 for 300 on Worth Point. May 18th, 2025. One sold for 300.
>> So, a couple hundred bucks. Would you offer that, man?
>> Yeah, I'll do 200 on it.
>> Okay, I'll take that, man.
>> And the last is the big >> the big wrenches.
>> The big uh Oh, this has got like a wall mount for it.
>> Oh, I didn't even know that.
>> That's probably why it didn't come with the base.
>> Come with the base.
>> That's really better. Put it on the wall.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Cuz you got the stand for yours, man. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Cuz it's a little wobbly on the stand.
>> Yeah.
>> I had mine hanging on the wall, >> but we had something on the stand.
>> The stand, too.
>> Yeah. I'm sure it probably come with an option. You could probably buy the stand over the wall.
>> We had one on the stand, didn't we?
>> I took it off.
>> You know what you wanted for it?
>> I don't know, man. I mean, can we look it up, Max?
>> I try to find it.
Pull it.
re rearranged the shock, >> right?
>> I told you he's already planning, man, to push it up.
>> And it ratches it just like >> Yeah, I know.
>> It actually works. So >> Oh, yeah. Cool.
>> You're the first one to touch it.
[laughter] >> That one's cool.
You know the story behind them things, all these big tools, they only make like five or six hundred of them for the whole United States.
>> Yeah.
>> And once they sell, >> you're lucky if you can go back and reorder them.
>> So the last one I see pre-owned on that one, they got it at 525. And then this one, >> they got one at 600, one at 429.
So Oh, here's some brand new ones right here that went for$450.
Oh, that's that's a ratchet right there.
>> Yeah. And then another one right there.
Sold 525.
And then you got that one. One $6.99.
429 600.
>> If you go at the lowest one was what?
450.
>> Yeah. So like429 on that one,$450 on that one are the two lowest. Like almost 900 total is what they sell for about.
>> So you would offer >> six? Yeah, I'll do six all.
>> Okay. Yeah, I take that, man.
>> You take care of him, man.
>> All right. I think that's everything.
>> I think that's everything this time.
>> And he's just going to add it up. We're going to put it up one more time and check it. But the total is 4,465.
>> I'm good with that, man.
>> And then just subtract it and make sure it's all good. Then then the long part is writing it up. So, it take us probably 30 minutes to write it up. So, I hope youall enjoyed the video. And as you can see in today's video, we only had the one part just because the video was so long. That video took me a long time to edit because there was so many parts, a lot of B-roll in it. So, I hope y'all enjoyed it. I enjoyed buying it.
I'm not the most mechanically inclined or work on a lot of things, but I do like Snap-On tools, Snap-On stuff.
Seeing all those signs, not every day you see stuff like that. So, I thought that was pretty cool. All the stuff the guy had. We ended up paying him over $4,000 for all of it. I put up all the comps of what stuff sold for and what we paid for it. I'm not sure what we'll make on it. You know, we'll try to sell most of that stuff in the shop. Some of it's bigger stuff to ship it. Not really the best. I mean, probably the tools, some of the smaller tools to get the kind of money for that stuff. You have to put it online. So, some of the tools will probably, but the signs, I don't plan on selling those online. I just don't like shipping that big stuff. And that's how we'll try to sell it all. So, yeah, just the one part today. I hope y'all enjoyed it. If you're not subscribed and you enjoy the content, hit that subscribe button. We're trying to hit 250,000 subscribers.
