Yesterday I saw a set of five Stanley Everlasting chisels on the big auction site for $5,125 buy it now.
Shipping is $13.65
I sent the seller a message asking if he'd do free shipping as he's asking that much, but he replied that no, he's sorry but there's no free shipping.
I should probably not rush into this purchase.
Advice welcome.

That's too funny. He actually had the gumption to say no free shipping at that price?
I wonder if he'd sell them to me on layaway.I mean, it is Christmastime.

Same seller has a Stanley no. 7C for only $5,225. Just sayin...

After checking his other items it seems he is the kind of guy that wants to find the one sucker looking to buy.Originally Posted by Jim Falsetti
Doesn't ebay charge a fee to list based on the starting price?

Mark, I would offer him $5111.35 and pay the shipping
Out of curiosity (absolutely no interest in buying), what is the market value for these chisels?

Derek,
Looking at the sold auction prices to see what folks will actually pay for the chisels shows that most of them sell for between $30 and $40 per chisel, which includes the shipping. This would bring the typical value of the 5 chisels to about $200, but some groups of the chisels seem to have sold for up to $50 per chisel, which would bring the value of the 5 chisels up to about $
