Why ?
There's been a tool sale in Sydney since 1986.
Matter of fact that's a few years prior to the Melbourne club starting theirs.
Its even on the North Shore to save you that trip south.

Hi Hiroller

I've been to the last two as a punter and they were great. Think I might book a couple of tables for the next one. Make a bit of a short break out of it. Who do I contact?

There's a link on the website. At the bottom of the home page there's a link/note about the sale in red. Click the link and follow your nose from there. The last number of years single tables have been $40.

The HTPAA sale last weekend was well attended, especially on the Sunday morning. I saw a lot of happy punters making their way out of the hall clutching bags of goodies. I picked up a few collectable grade Titans and met a few formites cruising the tables. Being a TT I usually restrict my purchasing to my obsession but every now and then I crack and get sucked into buying something I don't need. This time it was a couple of Rabone guages. A wire guage and another more general one. I love small, cute, intricate stuff and these beaut little tools played right into my court. There was a time when I carried a wire guage in my top pocket ("what's the SWL of this wire Mr Mate") but these days I have no use for them what so ever. Why do I do this? I have drawers full of these do-hickies. Crazy. I guess bottom line, I am a weak and pathetic creature who needs a keeper at tool sales.

Anyway the next sale is on the 7/8th of November, same place. Lock it in as they say.Wire guages.jpg

Those November dates are perfect for prezzie time Didn't happen to see a Stanley 71 Router Plane doing nothing did you Doggie?

Saw about three Stanley's and a Carter.

Thanks Doggie can you recollect what price they're going for, roundabout please?

Seem to recall about $100 for the Stanleys and $80 for the Carter but don't quote me. Noticed that some only had one blade though not the three. I think Hans sold one but I'm not sure. I was too busy flogging Titans.

I saw them also but did not check prices. A couple of them looked as though they needed cleaning up. I bought one in pretty good nick about 18 months ago for $90 at the antiques and collectables fair at Maldon.

Thanks fellas that'll give me some sort of yardstick to go by
