Some Viewers may find this Disturbing.
I just unfortunately watched this, OMG I wish I was living back in the UK again,Sooo much drooling.
An some prices seemed reasonable, even with it being in Pounds Sterling.

The UK is awash in old tools. For the most part, by comparison to the rip off prices demanded here, they're giving them away.
I used to go around all the car boot sales, and even the antique shops, and bought a lot of tools. To be honest, the work and the tools was like nothing I've ever experienced before, a woodworker's wet dream. I am bitter about leaving the UK, but the government and boarder force there is very discriminatory against immigrants and my wife couldn't stand the stress anymore.

I feel as a respectful(Very loosely interrupted)group of mostly Gentleman we should organise a international buying consortium, an send over a 40 foot shipping containers or containers, with explicit instructions on what needs too be obtained,
We even have some members here who speak the local dialect.
I’m more than happy too split open my Pig bank an put forward my Net worth(That my beautiful wife) is not aware of, Total being $27.78c AU .
I would be more than happy too receive the Container’s here on there arrival from the Uk [emoji636].
Anyone else interested.
Cheers Matt.

You don't need a shipping container. Just need a crate. When I was there I was planning on setting up a business with the bother inlaw in Canada... I'd package and list everything on ebay and all he'd have to do is send it to whomever... Then the wife said: I've had enough, let's go home... Well that idea went down the toilet fast LOL.
I could pack a crate that was 500x1000x1000 with thousands of $ worth of tools. And the beauty of it was the size is all that matters. You share a container and the shipping company didn't care if the crate weighed 5kg or two tonnes. At that time it was $10/cubic foot; probably $25 now. All I had to do is make the crate so a forklift could get underneath and a tonne or so could be stacked on top - easy. The issue is finding someone over there... I have a strong suspicion that the tool sellers here utilise professional buyers over there. If you can tap into one...
Come to think of it my 60th is coming up... I feel a trip back to the ol country coming on.
If you're interested in tools, the next David Stanley Auction is looking very tasty - just sayin...
