Hey Everyone,
I've been away from woodworking and ncwoodworker.net for about 6+ years. Used to be semi-active here with group-buy/lumber-runs and looking at my post history, the last post before this one was Jan 2015:
The world of hand tools, especially LN (and some Lee Valley) appears to be in quite an odd state. Like other stuff, especially hobby small manufactured items, surely are impacted by COVID. I've spent some of my time away from here with guitars and that hobby was affected as well pricing and availability wise.
I was thinking about selling some unused LN/Veritas hand tools that I bought back in the day, so I started checking online. Completed auctions prices on eBay are at crazy levels. It kinda blows my mind. I also came here (and sawmillcreek) to check for more inline "real-world" references, but do not see many similar hand tools here on https://ncwoodworker.net/forums/index.php?forums/for-sale-wanted.151/
So I don't intend this post as a "seller out fishing", but it is kinda hard to not come across this way.
I'm a ncwoodworker.net member who left the room 6 years ago and walking back in, humbly asks for a "does what I'm seeing make sense" summary?
Thanks,
-Kevin
