Emailed a while ago and got no response, so I'm assuming it's gone. This raises the important question, have all of you had the basic discussion with your spouse and/or family about how to roughly price your tools in the unfortunately situation that you die? Seeing the the saw listed for so far below what it should be selling for is sad for two reasons. 1. I didn't get it, 2. the seller was clearly not involved at all with the tool user's hobby.

I will ask my estate to do a completed items search on eBay. Problem solved, well mostly...

I have started a spreadsheet listing my tools and "toys" that are to be sold if I suddenly pass on and their approximate selling price.

or a second more sinister possibility, is that it was stolen and who ever has it doesnt really know what they have and just wants to unload it quick for some cash!

My biggest fear is that my wife will sell all my tools after I die for what I told her I paid for them

That might give you issues on pattern cutouts. Michael what craigslist search engine do you use? Or do you just manually hit them all.

I manually check charlotte and raleigh most days. I'm not sure why a TN listing showed up in the Charlotte listing. I'll probably install an app for my phone that can notify me if a certain filter is hit on one of the areas I care about. I'm not a fan of being the "if it falls through" second place buyer.
