I've been working with tools for over 40 years. And I never pass up a beginners video because I've learned you never know everything. And I've accumulated a massive amount of tools through my carrier as a bodyman and auto painter . I've recently gotten into restoring tools as I inherited my dad's, grandads and uncles tools some very old...and cool so in a way I am a beginner... lol and am really enjoying it! Having a lot of fun and satisfaction from it ... I'm trying to learn resales and when to restore and when not to .and to what level to restore and where to sale....
Little tip, antique shops usually have a $2 bucket or similar you just need to try and find a makers mark in the rust. A simple clean with a wire brush and they’ll come up great
Just getting into eBay selling but been a mechanic for 12 years. I buy whole boxes locally on Facebook and Craigslist ect. When I get a box home I split it into four groups. The big 3: snap on matco and Mac. Then American made in another group. And then not American made. And specialty tools. Btw Japanese measuring tools like calipers and micrometers are a bolo. But the big 3 sell fast. Craftsman is kind of bread and butter slower movers and then I just group all the non American tools and put them in a box and sell them as a lot in Facebook
Fantastic job, Mike! Perfect intro for those of us who know even less than you did about reselling tools. I look forward to the remaining videos in your tool series.
Really interesting topic! I’m looking forward to seeing more. I know nothing about tools and wouldn’t even know where to start, so this will definitely help.
Great Video Mike! Long time listener to the podcast! I like this type of video! One thing that I can contribute to the conversation would be to look out for older wooden handle tools like screwdrivers and wrenches. Another tool I like to find are metal clamps. Also, my late brother in law would pick up old rusty tools at garage sales or flee markets for real cheap prices...he would take them home and soak them in acid to clean the rust off and they turned out great and were fully restored to working condition. I inherited all of his tools and I’m like you, some of them you ask yourself...”what is this for?” 😂 But like you said, you just look up the part numbers on the tool itself and begin to get an idea of what it is used for. Peace!
Was watching a video on old tools at a swamp meet. And was showing prices!! Some were unbelievable how much they were selling for ...a couple of planners were priced well over a thousand bucks! And that is my level of incompetence..
Thanks for posting this! I actually was wondering about this too! Thanks for helping me learn to expand my niche from used video game lots to maybe something new. I always see garage sales here with used tools but I don't know how to value them. I am looking forward to the next ones.
Thanks, Mike! These are great. Will have to keep an eye out, myself. Seeing so many of these tool listings with free shipping does give me a little bit of pause, though...these things aren't light.
Yo Mike, can you do some more tool videos? Thanks man! P.S. found a hammer with a leather corded handle the other day thanks to this video for $2. Score!
I've been doing this for a little while now. Just want to see what everybody's thoughts are on this. I usually get entire tool boxes full of stuff. I'll get maybe 100 good items Craftsman whatever SK. And then I'll get tons of unbranded no-name tools inside the box as well. And I do get some sales off of the no-nameers. However the views are definitely a lot better because of item specifics. I just wonder if it would be better to lot those items that have no names. Let me know what you guys think
Question… I am fairly new to the eBay game, but learning. I have always stuck to “buy it now” sales, but most of the examples in your video seemed to be auctions/bids is that preferred when selling tools on Ebay? Thanks!
@@PureHustlePodcast yep no problem. Just got a full set of dewalt power tools for myself buying and selling the extras lol. You know how it is. Sell for profit and keep some extra goodies now and then
some of the high end brands will replace broken hand tools also for free sometimes you kind find those at garage sales and send them in and get new ones
@@PureHustlePodcast i would say i am more along the lines of unconscious competence when it comes to tools especially in certain brand names. I know almost nothing in selling. You want to swap notes?
mitutoyo calipers hold there value, i recently traded some junk tools for a set of craftsman flexhead ratcheting metric wrenches that sold for $130 in an hour
That's everyone's dream to find cheap tool truck tools at a tag sale. The reality is that everyone with a phone knows exactly how much their tools are. More reality is mice have gotten inside the box and have destroyed everything by their excrement. Good scores do happen but they are far and few between.
Not only is brand name important but the vintage of a tool can often add value too. Vintage and collectible tools are a whole new ball game. Stanley hand planes are a perfect example of this. But getting into that game is a much steeper learning curve. For instance, a Stanley #4 hand plane can be as cheap as $40 or as much as $140. It all depends on if it is an early make or a modern one. Then there is the problem of hybrids, where someone will take parts from 3 different vintage planes and make a complete plane. Needless to say, this hurts it's value. As the saying goes, knowledge is valuable.

I'm going to be The Woman at the yard sales getting looked at funny because I'll be looking for tools now! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO MIKE!!!
You can catch them all off guard with your tool knowledge. :) thanks for watching

Thanks! I plan to make these as useful as possible for people like me... learning and growing is the way to success.
@@PureHustlePodcast most definitely! Your hard work is appreciated!

Such great advice. I will definitely be on the look out for wood handled tools, and a vinegar bath is a high on my priority list
Always the educator. What a helpful topic. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you. I learn more teaching something for sure.
Tools is something I haven’t ventured into, so I’m sure I’ll go back and refer to this! Liked and shared, thanks guys!
Very cool, I've been interested in tools for awhile and now I can learn more new! Thank you for what y'all do!
Lots to learn on this. Post please if it works for you. I didn’t think about selling tools on eBay but now I want to see how the market really is.
Those VA series Craftsman wrenches are 6 point and worth quite a bit more than their 12 point counterpart as the 6 point is more rare.
This is exactly what i needed thanks
Glad to help!

I know what you mean. Breaking out of the known and exploring something new is scary and time consuming, but the payoff can be huge.
Thanks, Mike! These are great. Will have to keep an eye out, myself.

Where do I find part 2?
Really helpful, thank you so much!
also look out for Craftsman power tools the 12V line and 19.2V are good sellers
Thank you for the info!
Yo Mike, can you do some more tool videos?
Thanks man!
P.S. found a hammer with a leather corded handle the other day thanks to this video for $2. Score!
Hey not sure why but halfway through the video the sound went out and it’s been happening with other videos as well
I had to buy a drill bit this weekend and at Home Depot it's 20-100 dollars for one damn drill bit!
It’s wild
Great video ! thanks ! But I'd like to know more about selling..
Great video! Do you ship them First Class and Priority Mail? Or what kind of shipping method do you use? Thanks for this great video!
The black sockets are impact sockets. Money for sure!
Good to know!🙏

I throw all the no name brands in a bucket or box and sell them by the container on Facebook market place.
Question…

I know some about tools. 2 brand i always look for. Dewalt and hilti
Awesome, thank you
@@PureHustlePodcast yep no problem. Just got a full set of dewalt power tools for myself buying and selling the extras lol. You know how it is. Sell for profit and keep some extra goodies now and then
some high end tools have previous owners mark or some other way to prove tolls are theirs ...How much does that take away from value of tool ?
Doesn’t much if it’s scarce
some of the high end brands will replace broken hand tools also for free sometimes you kind find those at garage sales and send them in and get new ones
I know of some shoe companies that do that. I will have to research this more for tools and be on the look out for those
@@PureHustlePodcast some companies do this for toys, like Build a Bear and American Dolls.

mitutoyo calipers hold there value, i recently traded some junk tools for a set of craftsman flexhead ratcheting metric wrenches that sold for $130 in an hour
Wow! Always learning...appreciate it!
Does Ebay charge you even if you don't sell? Example, I sell a wrench for $10 but it doesn't sell, will they charge a percentage anyway?
No, you only pay the final fee when it sells. There .ay be a small listing fee depending on how many items you have listed

You forgot husky...
If you don’t know and admit why should I. Listen further
That's up to you. Feel free to watch or not. I learned and shared what I was learning. Have a great day.
Rule no 1, don't buy tools from a guy with a fake beard.
Lol. I glue it on every morning
