General International pricing, help?

[Paul Greathouse]

I have found someone about 300 miles away that is selling off a shop full of General International tools. The pricing seems good but I'm not sure because out of all the tool looking that I do, I have never seen much on pricing info for GI tools.

Online search has not turned up much. GI doesn't have prices on their website and the only online supplier that I can turn up is Woodcraft but they only sell a couple of the pieces that is being offered.

Does anyone know anywhere online that I can get pricing on new General International tools. If not can those of you that have purchased recently give some idea of cost on the tools listed below. He claims that they are new/never used. Guess he got caught up in a divorce or some other financial snafu while setting up his shop. They look new from the pictures I have seen. I need to know cost to figure if it would be worth it to make the 600 mile round trip to pick them up.

Here's what I found:
(Go to the GI site, find the model numbers of the tools, Google that model number)

Did you go to their website (general.ca) and look at their pricing flyer (http://www.general.ca/promo/ENG_US_small.pdf) under 'promotions'?

Here is a link to a supplier in Canada ( I use this site a lot to check up on prices).

and also this is a good Canadian supplier as well.

All "General International" and "General Canada" Prices in Canada and the USA are the same now.:)

Thanks Tom, Dirk & Graham

Don't know how I missed that flyer. Guess that falls under the catagory of "Can't See the Forest for the Trees".

The links are appreciated too. Thanks
