Some times it's hard to bargain , an older fellow, about 10 years my senior and I'm retired, selling off. I paid what he asked. But some of the tools he got from a retiring machinist when he was an apprentice, so I have tools with Geo. Hodges on them. Or when I stopped at a garage sale, some good woodworking tools, the wife started tearing up when I said sorry. Again I paid what was asked.
