You and me both. When I die there will be a massive auction and garage sale that will be lucky to get $0.02 on the dollar!The crimper is the only big ticket item. Hose and fittings are just shop supplies like my fastener bins.
i am a tool guy and have many thousands invested in a 60+ year collection. I looked for a good deal on a crimper for years and finally got one at $1200 for a complete crimper with dies and pneumatic pump. I can easily sell that crimper for more than I paid for it. This one has a hand pump and is still 3x what I paid. They are very hot commodities on the used market. My estate sale will undoubtedly attract a large crowd.
