News from mjdtools.com World Headquarters |
G
reetings from Avoca, New York, where tools are always coming and tools are always going. First a big THANK YOU to all who supported last weekend's Online Only Spring Tool Auctions, either by consigning tools, by bidding and buying or by working with us here all winter to make them a success. We added more names of first time bidders for this sale than we have ever added, and by a huge margin. It seems that the lack of supply owing to the pandemic and the pent-up demand for tools, coupled with the fact that a great many have taken up woodworking as a diversion during the lockdowns have led to a level of demand for antique tools that we have not seen since the early 1990's. The Friday and Saturday auctions had a total of 344 unique buyers, plus many more bidders who participated, but were unsuccessful. Thanks to all who participated. We had a great time and we know from hearing from many of you that you enjoyed the experience, including many who found it an entertaining spectator sport. Today's Photo Montage shows some of the many "big ticket" items sold in Saturday's sale, but the real news is how broad and deep the prices were, particularly on Stanley planes. We had several collections of extra clean Stanley tools and we sold many bench planes as individual lots, nearly all of which sold for far more than they have been bringing in recent years. As one who has labored long in the wilderness promoting antique tools, it is a very satisfying experience to see antique tools rising while the general antique market continues to be soft or in decline. We may not make it to the Promised Land, but things are a whole lot better than they have been in a long time. The second and third photos show our Upper Shipping Room and the Loading Dock loaded with packages going out today. We are expediting purchases of one or two items to get things out as soon as possible while we have another crew working on shipping larger volume shipments to antique tool dealers who are in desperate need of merchandise to replace depleted stock. We are committed to supporting the tool collecting hobby and related businesses. Many thanks to Chris, Nathan, Alex and Myra who came in on Saturday and worked all day to begin the process of sorting out your purchases. Our Founder will be in Pennsylvania on Friday and Saturday. If you will be heading that way and wish to pick up your purchases, just let us know and we will make every effort to get them to you. Just give us a call at (800) 869-0695 or by email at mjd@mjdauctions.com . Speaking of dynamic markets, if you are considering selling some or all of your antique tool collection or related antiques, please give us a call at (800) 869-0695 or by email at mjd@mjdauctions.com . Strike while the iron is hot. |
