snap on is so good to sell
when i was buying up my collection i was winning job lot auctions for around 2-3k, siphoning off a shedload of nice stuff then ebaying the remainder on for a profit of a few hundred quid.. i ended up with a pretty fine collection but this lot is mental, you could cream off an incredible set and then ebay the rest into much smaller auctions and probably still make a few thousand quid along the way
the spanners alone has got to be over 20k ... anything long and over 24" becomes mega expensive and are like £100+ each... if they are flexhead or swivel socket or half moon or anything fancy then even more dosh

Quick query, say for example I had the cash waiting for these. Also I am currently unemployed. How much could I technically make splitting these and selling separately? Based on a £25000 final fee?
I split up a few job lots but nothing like this so its very very hard to say.Looking at the regular spanners and then the ratchet spanners and the '4 small draws' pile of spanners I would say there very conservatively there is at least £15k there if you split them and sold them in sets (a lot of sets !). I could be way out though, maybe well over £20,000. With the spanners at normal sizes £20 per spanner is not a bad guide. A set of 10-19mm midgets or FD+ will cost you around £200. But when you go larger it all changes and in the really big sizes 26mm+ you can pay £50-£100 per spanner. The thing is, none of this stuff comes up on the bay much so any of those auctions will be very well contested. There are some mad crazy obstruction spanners there in enormous sizes, massive flex heads, huge offset spanners than you never see on ebay. The same applies to the sockets. £100-£150 for a regular set of say 10 items but those 1/2 hex sets, the extra long hex/torx drivers, the 14 swivel sets, large imact sockets ..... these are a lot more money.
I reckon if you split it up into smaller sets (a lot of them mind) then there is £20-£25k in the spanners and sockets alone. Maybe more to be honest. After the spanners and sockets there is at least £10-£15k more stuff, again maybe more as a lot of those items like the torque wrenches are several hundred a pop. The pliers and screwdrivers are also the best sellers on ebay. I reckon it will go for a lot more than 25k though. There will be people with the funds who will know exactly what this is worth and they wont be shy. Wouldnt be surpised to see the auction end up over 40 or 50k.
