What a deal! On eBay; True Temper vintage axe in "brand new" condition

Post by GSPTOPDOG »

Here is an interesting listing on eBay, for a vintage "acts" in brand new condition. A real "steal" at only $277.87!!! ::tu:: Is this anyone's idea of "brand new condition"

https://www.ebay.com/itm/True-Temper-vi ... _trkparms=


Title of listing; True Temper vintage axe 35m1k new never used collectible wood working 3.5 lb USA.

Condition:
"This is a vintage acts in brand new condition was found in an abandoned warehouse and is now never been used. You can see the back of the access has no marks on it 3.5 pounds."

How has this not sold yet? ::hmm:: ::paranoid::

My favorite is his stamped (not forged) wrench which he calls both “Steampunk” and “Deco Art” (not Art Deco) for $98 + $30 shipping. When was the last time you heard both those terms in the same sentence?

I’m surprised he didn’t include even more words folks search on such as: Antique, Nude, and my two all-time eBay favorites RARE! and L@@K!

Unusual seller. Looks like he bought a warehouse?
I like the Nintendo with "clean sticker".

It loos like a 2.5 lbs. ax with about 1.5 pounds of that being rust under the peeling red paint. ::facepalm:: At least for the $277.87 you will get free shipping ::ds:: I think for $277, I can buy a low-price Covid-19 cut-rate airline ticket and fly to Sweden and buy a Hults Bruk "acts" and still be a head ::hmm:: in the long run....
