About a factor of 5 too high. GWE
You'd be better of with a size description than the numbers you listed. Few of us are likely to have an Armstrong catalog. What size are they?
1/4" square?Harold
Jeeze, Harold! He hoped you wouldn't ask.
They are 5/16. The 561 is round nose turning, the 559 is LH turning
Put 'em on ebay, they'll bring what they're worth there.

Let me try one more time here before Ebay. $20 for all plus ship. Ron
Let me try one time. Two bucks. You pay the shipping.
John Martin
Ron, your prices are ridiculous. Put them on ebay, if you have a credit card and an ebay seller's account and can figure out how. You'll get a real education.
Grant
Selling anything on eBay for less than about $20 is a net loss for the seller. You might be better off keeping them in a drawer or selling them at a local yard sale.

Yes, but when nobody bid or they bid it up to only $1 or so (all that a few used no-name lathe bits are worth) then the OP would realize that he isn't MSC and can't charge their prices and maybe (hopefully) stop bugging us. - GWE
Show me where I can get brand new HSS bits and center drills for a dollar, I take as many as I can get!!!!
Ron
ok, I'll call your bluff - I have a bit over100 HSS and Cobalt drills, professionally resharpened and what looks like new, mixed together - mostly
6 inches long, mostly #13 and #20. I will sell you 100 drills for $80 including shipping.if you want to take me up on this, just email me (remove spaces and correct the address below, don't reply to this note) william_ b_ noble at msn daught com

Me thinks Ron isnt aware of the real world and how a bit of judious shopping can make it really affordable.
Reliable Tools sells the same sort of thing..for $4 a pound.
Just one source, of hundreds

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.
Think of it as having your older brother knock the shit out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner
Ok, you got me. I will get with the times. Thanks for bringing me into the 21st century. Ron
Ron,
It's not that your prices aren't reasonable if one is buying new, from a dealership. They ask, and get, those prices. Luckily for those of us that have home shops, there are sources that sell equipment for bargain prices. I can't speak for others, but if I had to pay full price for my provisions, I'd likely abandon my machines now that I've retired.
Harold
That's a fair deal for both parties!
Nice going.
