I have some socket sets & a micrometer from Chrysler - gold plated Master
Technician Awards. They were my father's awards for the Master Technician
Service Conferences, circa 1970 - 1976. I'm thinking I have three choices:
Display them on a shelf, add them to my tool box for use, or sell them.
I'm broke so if anyone is interested enough to pay a reasonable amount for
them I'll take option #3. :-)
Most come in a plastic box, but the mic is in a cardboard box & one of the
sets is in a styrofoam Chrysler Pentastar (very cool!).
If interested post here or email me for more info.
Thanks,

dude as broke as you might be you don't sell pops tools he left them to you
my father has been gone 20 years and the tools are the only connection i have
now for my son to see
 
Yeah well, I'm trying to sell everything else too, but I'm having little
luck. I'm selling just about enough parts to eat - barely. I'm currently
living in my moving van, without a well (I have to bring in 5 gals. of
water at a time, & put it on top of the van running through a black hose
just to take a shower), with no money & no income. So I'm spending my time
trying to get work (I do body & paint, & websites) & trying to sell some
parts while I get a couple of cars ready to sell. This all stems from the
results of theives, & being screwed by State Farm.... (see "Admin's
Stories" on my website Screwed By insurance -
http://screwedbyinsurance.com ). I owe taxes, & my bills are going to be
piling up big-time. July 8th I'll have to come up with the extortion money
the STATE requires me to pay in order to drive my car without GOING TO
JAIL (it's *called* "mandatory insurance", but it's nothing but the
PROTECTION RACKET enacted by state legislators)!
The gold tools have been boxed up for close to thirty years. I'm tired of
storing everything. I would love to display them but where? If I can't get
enough for them then they're most likely going in my tool box & being
used. Then of course some G.D. THEIF will find out about them & steal
them! So you tell me what am I *supposed* to do?
I thought maybe there were some Chrysler fans that would appreciate
them...
But hey thanks for the kind thoughts, anyway.

dude the last time I checked McDonalds was hiring.

also your starving, but have your own website, and computer???
 
Every state I know of has a dept that regulations the insurance industry.
Complain to them or hire a lawyer.
 
Yeah well I have no doors on the building & I'm afraid - with ALL the other
things that have been stolen from me in the past - that if I take a job
making $7 an hour then the THEIVES will come & take EVERYTHING ELSE I own
away!
The (Value Web) website is an effort to make some money; the Screwed By
insurance website is an effort to help folks. So you think I should take
them down?

Tried both: the state did absolutely NOTHING; all the lawyers I talked to
said the SAME THING: "state fart will drag it out in court for TEN YEARS &
spend ten times the claim to avoid paying - it's just not worth our time.
STATE FARM WINS BY INTIMIDATION!!! It's the way all mobs & cartels work.
Wake up this has been going on for decades & no one seems to care until it
happens to them! Try READING the website & OTHER FOLKS' STORIES.

How much??
 
Comparable prices to chrome sets.
I have the 1/2" drive set (it's the one on the styafoam Pentastar)- 8
sockets & one extension; the mac 10 pc. (sockets only) set is $170.
I have a 3/8" deepwell set (in plastic case) - comparable price is $100.
I also have a 3/8" drive set - ratchet, 7 sockets, & extension; Spark plug
set with ratchet & socket; 1/2" drive ratchet (all in plastic cases); &
the mic (in cardboard box). The mic only has the handle gold plated. I
don't have comparable prices for these sets yet (if you find some let me
know).
Thank you,

Still think you should put on ebay. Some collector may give you a
ridiculous bid assuming they are like new.

Well I haven't mentioned it before, but I've been watching the *only* set
I could find on ebay & it just went for $30!!! I'll not sell mine for that
unles I haven't eaten for three days. Guess they're going in my tool box,
although I don't really *need* those tools there.
