Mad Ex-Wife Selling Big Boy Toys

As long as those replacements are properly listed on the certification form, I would consider them to be equivalent to the original Webber blocks.

However -- if the set had been built up out of rejects from the certification process, I would consider it to be close to useless. (Still, probably *much* better than the +/- 0.000050" Chinese sets.)

So -- unless we know what the certification form says, and compare it to the blocks in the set, we really don't know much, other than that *some* of the blocks have been replaced at some time by someone. (I would presume that all of the ones marked Webber in some form or other are part of the original set, just as some of mine in the "Jo" blocks set are marked in full "C. E. Johansson, while other are marked with shorter forms, and the smallest are marked simply "CEJ".

I do agree that most of the prices listed are rather optimistic especially with no chance to examine what is being offered (as I believe to be the case with most of us).

Enjoy, DoN.

Be very careful...I think you would get the father-in-law too!

and when she gets MAD at you, she will sell your tools!

Looks like the whole group is suffering from a bit of castration anxiety: the whole notion of ANY ex-wife selling a guys TOOLS is provoking a fair bit of hostility.

Might have been better just to have sold the stuff, without going in to the ex-wife details.

Without any evidence to the contrary, I'm inclined to believe Griz' offer is what he says it is.

Makes you look like you're not being straightforward, yes.

People might've taken him more seriously if the prices were reasonable. Like half of what he's asking.

Naah, that's not the part I had a problem with, it was "Here, here's some stuff I'm selling, check out the link, and oh by the way I have a commercial site that sells tools too". Makes it look like the usual shill/spam that we've been seeing for more than a decade.

Yup. He appealed to greed or sympathy or something, and came across as a shyster.

Could be, but his approach sucks.

And that's justification for sniping and gossiping like a clique of 13 year old girls?

Ned Simmons

Yes. But my feeling is that any items sold under these circumstances run a much higher risk then normal of being sold by somebody who doesn't own them in the first place.

Jim

Nope, but it probably would have avoided said sniping and gossiping.

Gregm

Ah, now I see, greed trumps pettiness. (This shouldn't be directed at you, Greg, I don't see you among the rabble of Ashleys and Brittanys.)

Ned Simmons

I'd go for fantastical prices lead to frivolity.

Gregm

I hope you have an iron-clad pre-nup ready..........
