I was at a garage sale and saw these. I thought the seller was asking a little bit too much at 30.oo so I passed it up. What do you think ?

The little one was another 15.oo

They look new but still...............I never spent more than 5 or 10 bucks at a garage sale.
Genreally, forum members are discouraged from making valuations on stones and razors. However, from the look of the box and stone, it seems to me to be a Escher. By looks of it blue or blue green.
Here is a link to a similar stone in similar condition selling on ebay.

Go back now and pick them up:D
Really, I don't know much about hones but those prices seem much cheaper than what I have seen online lately. What brand is the second hone.

Howard :)
I think 10pups is a wind up merchant. Not sure if that converts into American English so I'll say it in a different way - there's no way he would have not bought two Eschers - he's just getting a reaction - the lucky man.

lol pup is only rubbing it in our faces.
Amazing. Do any of these people know what google is?
Over the summer I paid $2.00 for a tackle box at a garage sale.
I threw the box and junk tackle out, and kept the thuringian and Swaty that were in the bottom.
I think most garage sale sellers have no idea what they have.
I would have been even more ecstatic to have found a pair of Eschers.
Hope that is a late April Fools joke.

$30 bucks!!!! That's outrageous!!!! The nerve of the guy!!! Good thing you passed on them, now what's the address of that garage sale?
Speechless
A lot of pictures, and pretty nice pictures what with the nice black background and all. He did all that at the sale? Or at home? After he bought the heck out of them ;-)
Some have all the luck,,,,I usually find a broken Carborundum at the yard sales.
Yeah and its saturated in gummed up oil and they want like $5 for it.Quote:

Anybody noticed that 10Pups has been off the thread since 2:30p,,,probably lapping those hones he passed up,,:rolleyes:
The only thing I see that are blue/green at yard sales are stretch pants. And maybe some false teeth.
I guess I should be happy for you :)
Must be like the $35 couch painting I bought several years ago and when I went to change the frame there was another painting below it. Some art expert said it was a painting done by some guy named Picasso whoever that was. It looks good in my bathroom.
I put my fake watercolor in the bathroom,,,,:shrug:
I would put some art in my bathroom but they took my crayons,:(Quote:

I still find it hard to believe the I saw more Eschers sitting on a table in my garage than I thought I would ever see in a lifetime. The one pictured is of course the grand daddy of all prizes for you guys that have HAD. It was just 1 of maybe 30 (? I lost count) or so of these fine hones I had the pleasure of handling. I am surprised nobody recognized the little guy with it's distinct green carry bag. Maybe it was the fact that many of these prized stones no longer have the bag with them ? I also wonder how many still have the slurry stone that came in the original package. This is not only a NOS hone it was in a case of NOS hones and there were 2 cases ! Here is a couple more pictures that will say more about this little guy.

And I was all proud of my NOS DD hone :(
I must say if any of you have a chance to meet up with other members DO IT ! We had a lot of fun and I wanted to share some of that with the rest of you . Hence my garage sale idea was born. Besides the fun I think all 3 of us learned from each other and sharing experiences face to face is a lot different than posting and reading. No detail is missed when you watch someone do something in person.
I am sorry if anybody was hospitalized with a heart condition over this post. And the names of the innocent will remain confidential as I take full responsibility (although none of this is to be used in a court of law) for this ( I hope) funny thread. :<0)
Oh I did get a hone that day. My new Naniwa ss 12k had arrived. We christened it at the meet.
Those hones are in the Garage?? if mine they would be under my pillow at night:)
I did recognize the Frictionite in the green bag..........and not to mention that the first pic of it, the paper wrapper around the rub-stone clearly reads Frictionite.....
Also knew from the start that there was something fishy about this thread......
You guys are getting to know me too well. I may have to change my avatar soon.
It's all confusing when people go around doing that. It discombobulates me.Quote:

Be lucky to get an Escher under $100 here LOL:td
I was thinking it was time for the fart machine 2 and canned ass as the appropriate reply to this 10 Pup tormenting thread.
I forgive you, 10Pups. One of the pretty girls at our lab gave me mouth-to-mouth shortly after I read your post.
I do apologize to all those who did not see the humor. I can almost promise it will never happen again maybe :wQuote:
