Archived from the Tools In Action forum (FOR SALE). This thread is read-only.
Dear TIA community,
I have recently become physically unable to work and do most things that contribute to the quality of my life. My right leg is swelling up to 2-3 times the size of my left leg daily, my left arm/hand are numb and I am unable to do anything with my left hand. The doctors can’t find the problem so I have been referred to a couple specialists.
Waiting on a workmans comp dispute and I have nearly depleted my savings.
I am forced to sell my work tools but I unfortunately live in a small town where poverty is the norm, so I listed them on eBay.
The retail value of these tools is over $1,000.00 and it’s pretty much everything you would need to do anything. The majority of is less than 6 months old and the power tools are barely used and still under warranty with a couple being completely unused. It’s an 8pc porter cable 20v lithium set and about 50-60 hand tools.
There are 2 days left on my auction and it’s only at $200.
I am really scared that I won’t get a reasonable price for these and be forced to sell them for a portion of what they are worth. Is there anywhere here that I can tell your members about this listing? It’s a great deal and I am truly needing the funds to continue caring for my beautiful 18 month old daughter Summer. Thank you for taking your time to read this post and I pray you can find a way for me to share this with your members.
Hi Sean, welcome to the forum. Good luck with your sale, I’m confident that since it’s going to a good cause that you might find so charity involved as well.
I agree good luck with your sale, I’m not interested but maybe someone here on the forum might be. welcome to the forum as well I’m not sure if you will stay around if and when you do sell your tools but hopefully you do…. great bunch of guys here that can help in many ways….
Yea that a bummer dude sucks what you have to sacrifice, best thing to do with eBay is set a reserve price, you can always end your auction and restart it with that perameter. Hopefully that helps you out dude best of luck and good wishes on your health, I’m not an overly religious man but I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
