“No yard sale would be complete without a few old hand tools to be found among the bric-a-brac, and I’ve bought many a well-worn hammer, screwdriver, or chisel for use around the house. I’d never, however, given any thought to the collectibles value of hand tools until a chance conversation with a co-worker.
Her husband, a relative Newbie to the world of online auctions, had come home one recent Saturday with an old carpenter’s plane, for which he’d paid a few dollars at a yard sale. He immediately listed it on an auction site.
The plane, an early Stanley, fetched over $1,000!”
