    Three feedback's as a seller in the past 12 months, one of them a neutral! I know that plenty of people collect tools, but collectable files? Probably best not to trust this guy with your life.

    For $50 postage I assume he is putting them in a taxi. And he has Nazi memorabilia on his site.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    There's collectibles, and then there's collectibles, I find it hard to think anyone no matter how ardent a collector, could get so excited over files to pay over $2k for a small box of 12 of them?

    Files aren't really sexy like most old hand tools you would display, and kinda sounds a bit lame, "come look at my files"!

    My neighbour, a perfectly reasonable and amicable fellow, collect 1970's McDonalds packaging.

    Apparently its a thing.

    He has chip packets, all pristine... all sorts of packaging, from all over the world.


    A most UNHEALTHY collection!

    Matt and Hpf

    Those are very nice collections of Wiltshire files, which in my limited experience I think may be the best files made.

    Initially I thought the Nicholson's were a typo and should have been $140, but then I saw the Wiltshire listing. So perhaps not. Despite really liking the Wiltshire product I may have to file this one away.

    Regards
