Is this a good buy?

No. It's outright theft ;~)

 

[Round in circles]

It's good to see that some folk are able to buy decent second hand stuff without getting ripped off . That is a fantastic haul , well done .

Local Craigslist. I went there to buy these on our agreed price of $50 and saw the micrometer set that he had for sale as well. The pins are Meyer.

No story, just a machinist who retired in the 90s, just been kicking back enjoying his beer and retirement, now selling the old house and his stuff and moving. I will see him again on Monday and see what else he has. The story, I found out when we met that he used to work with a shooting buddy in the same company this seller retired from. A little company that made radar jamming chaff and other neat stuff, then they got bought out by a conglomerate.
