My late husband was a collector/hoarder of all things, particularly of old tools. I have a vast number of items I don’t even know the name of, one of which is, I am told, is an indexer(I do have photos). Have you any idea how I can sell these items? Ebay doesn’t seem specialist enough.
Most of my tools have been acquired via ebay. I have two indexing chucks both of which were acquired on ebay.
Ebay has the great advantages that it is the largest possible market, ie the most number of people, who might be interested and the price is solely determined by the demand. Any dealer will need to make a large profit to cover his costs. Selling on homeworkshop really needs you to quote a price.
If it is metalworking stuff put it under “metalworking”. So long as people can see what it is and the condition it is in. ie lots of photos, you can start at 99p and the market will determine the price.
