I often trawl the European and US sites for old kit, there is this one available in the US at $225 (£145)

Appreciate there is shipping and import but your still looking at sub £200.

I've seen past sales around $220 - $260 in the US. Not sure I have seen one here though.

That said, the tool is ultimately worth what people are prepared to pay for it. So anyone's guess what you get for it.

Don't know what commission rates are for the DS auction or indeed what your logistics costs are.

Our commission for selling is 15% + VAT plus 1% for insurance. The minimum charge is £ 5.00 per lot for the International Sales and £ 3.00 per lot for the General Sales. There are no other hidden charges, for example for catalogue illustration, etc.

Ah, thanks for that, worth knowing.

thats the exact tool you have posted there i thought it was rare looks like it was a good find in a box with a record no6 total cost of £5.00 i think its more for the collector than the user as replacement blades are going to be like hens teeth .
