• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest.

Advice on pricing tap and die sets

I'm selling some tap and dies on behalf of my brother and naturally I want to get him as much as I can but I need help in setting a reasonable price for them. I will be posting this stuff to the classified section eventually and then to Kijiji if needed.
pick up of items can be either in Calgary or Lethbridge with a bit of planning.

I have basic pictures of the sets and have listed what is included and the general conditions of the items.

I am thinking for the Butterfield set $85 (very good quality originally but it shows wear and tear on most items)
I am thinking for the Westward set $120 ( I think this is a good quality set and it appears most of it may never have been used? hard to tell for sure)
Miscellaneous taps $25 for all 6 or $5 piece
