As usual, I have no connection. No recommendation. Strictly information.

So somebody just went and donated it to Goodwill

I wonder how much that thing will go for

I will check back in here and see what this thing goes for

Does loki know that this is the #78 brother of his #77 holy grail?

DaveK · **Reply #4 on:** July 20, 2016, 06:43:53 PM

I'm dying to see how much this goes for.

Poncho65 · **Reply #5 on:** July 20, 2016, 06:44:16 PM

Someone had to have died and their kids or grandkids didn't know what they were donating

Gonna be a very happy collector with this hopefully

That or somebody is gonna have a very expensive user

Who is mr. c******o ?

DaveK · **Reply #7 on:** July 20, 2016, 06:46:25 PM

It ain't me, so that narrows it down a bit.

Poncho65 · **Reply #8 on:** July 20, 2016, 07:20:28 PM

Not me either

Also no one will have to worry about me running the bid up

chrono · **Reply #9 on:** July 20, 2016, 08:57:03 PM

c******3 is moi

I dropped $87 on the same day as c******o, instantly crushed

. I tell ya, this thread provided information, but also drew more attention to that listing. No more fooling around for me, I am out.

I am surprised goodwill did not list this on eBay. Sheer ignorance or they just want to save, potentially, a few hundred bucks in fee?

I posted it, but I'm not bidding.

That person has deeper pockets than me; I keep getting outbid.

Just under an hour left! The current bid is $241.

$251; I just got outbid; I'm making him pay closer to fair price, though; it should be going for $500+ easily. :/

I jumped back in with a $385 bid

Someone beat me at the last second. Goodwill auction system sucks, as you have to provide password to finalize each bid. Can people snipe at this kind of low-tech auction?

The winner probably threw in a bid over $500 any way, so

Whoever he is, he got one hell of a deal!

Well I'm glad you gave the person a run for their money. Had I won, I would've sent it to a good person up north, who would have treated it well.

Goodwill made quite a few mistakes with this listing. If I did not bid, the item could have been had for $325:
- Website: should have been eBay

- Item description: Goodwill obviously had no clue what they had at hand. Then again, there are stories of people bought valuable paintings at Goodwill for pennies.
- Time: 5:45 PM PT is just bad timing

. East coast people are having dinner, while west coast ones are sitting in traffic.

Personally, I was hesitate to go pass the $400 mark

. The item is cool and rare, but if I break it down, it is the same as my $50 PST, minus the cool engraving, gold plating, and frame.

Somebody got a bargain there - I expected it would go for much more than that!

J-sews · **Reply #18 on:** July 21, 2016, 02:37:13 PM

Goodness, that was an incredible bargain for someone.

Poncho65 · **Reply #19 on:** July 21, 2016, 04:34:46 PM

Like said above, had it been on Ebay and listed correctly it would have went for way higher I think

DaveK · **Reply #20 on:** July 21, 2016, 04:37:57 PM

If you didn't need a US address to bid it would have gone higher - I can personally guarantee that

By the way Lyndon - if you don't mind sharing your secrets - how on earth did you ever stumble across that listing?? I for one did not even know Goodwill HAD an auction site.

No secret. I stumbled onto the site a few years back. I bought my first Plierench set there. I've run across several other multi tool rarities on the site.
I monitor it regularly for interesting items. In my search for the elusive Eifel plierench geared pivot pliers I continue to turn over a lot of rocks.

Sometimes the postage and handling is really out of line, but you can often get good deals.
