etcswjoe Posted October 8, 2010 Share #1 Posted October 8, 2010 My neighbors husband past away recently and she asked me if I would help her price and sell her husbands tools. I have found new prices for most of the items but I do not really know how much to mark them down. Can anyone give me a general rule of thumb to use. All of he stuff is in great condition and 3 years old and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNrider Posted October 8, 2010 Share #3 Posted October 8, 2010 I really think it would depend on what type of "tools" they are. Hand, power etc. After being a mech for over 35 years I found most of mine were worth about 30% of original value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted October 9, 2010 Share #5 Posted October 9, 2010 I agree. I don't think you can always go 50% of retail because most things are always on sale somewhere for far less than retail. I think that 50% is max. I would say that 30-40% would be the best range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
