Is it me or are classic hand tool prices for used stuff beyond reason. Especially for lie nielsen. I guess there making a mark up plus price to the seller. Make ray illes et al seem cut price. It's a very bizarre mart imho.

There's been a fetish and a feeding frenzy in the LN market for some years now. It seemed to start post-Covid, possibly because the LN production rate dropped and never seemed to recover.

They seem to be able to find buyers willing to pay the prices.

Someone questioned their sale price for a limited edition set of Clifton Planes on Instagram. The reply was that it was a commission sale so I guess the seller set the price.
