Re: New Ebay auctions
for the tool vultures, here is a little trick.
go to www.ebay.fr and type "outil cordonnier"
or "outil sellier" which means (cordwainer/saddler tools in french).
Some tools are more common there such as the
"crab laster". There is also less competition for bidding it seems.
I suppose you can do the same on other ebays in other languages.

Re: New Ebay auctions
Hi Folks,
I've recently found a few gems on ebay tool auctions, so I think I should share one.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-VGC-No4-Leatherworking-Cobblers-Pliers-by-J-RO HRBECK-GARANTIE-Old-Tool-/230899030983?pt=UK_Collectable_ToolsHasdware_RL&hash=i tem35c2a79bc7
The same seller has a pair of bulldog pliers listed as well.

Another listing for lasting pliers with wide jaws.

Re: New Ebay auctions
I've been watching these. I'm really interested because this seller has a number of lasting pincers he's been selling the last few weeks. The most expensive pair he had that sold were these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-VGC-No4-Leatherworking-Cobblers-Pliers-Oval-HAD- Logo-Old-Tool-/230904629481?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&nma= true&si=nKFhPUbcAtGq63YEeB6PK2K9nWo%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc For about $115 US. For some reason right now in England or at least on UK eBay German lasting pincers are selling for $95-105 regularly.

Re: New Ebay auctions
I'm always curious about how many of us are watching the same auctions. Sometimes I don't like to post auctions in case someone loses out on a great price because of it.
I bought one of the pairs this seller listed in late January, with narrow jaws, they're excellent. It felt like they arrived in days too.
Personally I much prefer lasting pliers with curved jaws.

Re: New Ebay auctions
You can pretty much guarantee that if it's on eBay somewhere, looks good, and starts off at a good price I'm watching it.

Re: New Ebay auctions
I stop bidding if I see other bidders on items that I don't really need that much. Because I assume that many of us are probably bidding on the same item, I just don't want to up the cost for my colleagues.
On the other hand... if it's something I really want, of course I go nuts. It worked for me recently when I won nice looking crab lasters. And I really appreciated the few bidders on the auction.
Thanks guys

Re: New Ebay auctions
Yeah, I think this is a nice idea, but kind of blows it for the people that are already watching the item and drives up the price.

Re: New Ebay auctions
Between the people who are getting into shoemaking and esp. the people who are collectors of one sort or another...it's too late. The secret is already out. No more Barnsely or Christiansen bulldogs for $25.00.
Sad but true. If you respect the tool you'll probably have to pay for it.

Re: New Ebay auctions
Courtney, you misunderstood me.
The whole point of me 'not' bidding on stuff that isn't essential for me is to 'not' drive up the price. It's only for the items I really want that I'll go for... cause I want them.
Cody
Both DW and JD posted pics of the bulldogs on January 23, 2002... I'm gonna guess you weren't quite crazy about shoemaking yet:
http://www.thehcc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1967&p=8400#p8400
Since I know you'll ask... read DW's post for what they are for.
DW is right. I've been looking for one of those for a while, they're hard to find and sometimes go for $$$.
Have a good weekend all

Re: New Ebay auctions
Edie, I wasnt saying anything to you directly, I was just saying this sub-forum might help get more people bidding on the same item.

Re: New Ebay auctions
Yeah, I sent that link to somebody this morning. I'm wondering if they thought the price was high. This is only the second pair of crimping pincers I've seen in 1.5 years of watching eBay, though not all of that time have I watched it so thoroughly.

Re: New Ebay auctions
Though they may be useful for crimping, it¡¦s a modern adaptive use. The "adjustable" (collapsible) lasting pincers were designed for shank-lasting in the waist according to the patent (Hayden's Shank Lasters q.v. in Salaman's Dictionary.)
At these prices I thiink I'm going to retire in style when that day comes and I start Ebaying tools![Image](http://www.thehcc.org/forum/images/old_smilies/happy.gif)

Those are some handsome pliers! The price is a bit steep but someone should get them!

Re: New Ebay auctions
I was looking at those when they came up for auction. Yes... at that price I am out, and surprised it's not a bidding item... it's just a "buy it now".
Al, I'm glad you described the use a bit... I was 6 inches from the screen studying them trying to figure out what they're for.

Re: New Ebay auctions
Here's something not seen everyday and this fellow has a few of them. Problem is he's in France and shipping isn't cheap, but 35euro or less for a last knife doesn't seem like a bad price to me.

This same seller also has what looks like some tools for carving out the inside of clogs but I only opened up one of them and it showed as not shipping world wide. Still for all you last carvers or clog makers out there this could be a buy.
