Am giving into the pressure or patenting completely.

Clearing out Garage. Final box of blocks. I could e bay them but it is a pfaff and someone might want the lot. The forum has always been good to me.

If there is a consensus about a price that would be a good deal to a buyer and fair to me as a seller I'll out them up in the for sale bit...if not then I guess it will have to be the bay!

If you really want to sell them, put them on with no reserve. Pack them and weigh them and quote for posting. That way they will sell for what the market thinks they are worth. You may be surprised. I would guess at £2 per item would be fair. But let eBay decide. I sold a load of surplus stuff this way and did well. Trick is, have the bottle to go with no reserve.
 
I did not mean it to be an auction, just to establish a fair price to buyer and seller (leaning towards buyer as I could use the space).

The bigger blocks handled the sheets and guys of a swan 38 so are pretty heavy duty and the snap shackles all work fine.

If the forum really thinks that they would only be worth 18 quid in our for sale section then I'll shove them back in a box in the garage!
 
Are those two at the bottom middle left ....... marked: Lewmar - 1 -

If so (I have just broken my spinn blocks) £10 plus post is my bid

That would seem fair. Expect a bit less for the others and more for the one with the cleat.
 
None of those look rubbish,
the double block looks Harken,
the snap shackles are expensive.
Those big lewmar blocks are not cheap.
Wrong time of year perhaps but I say ebay would get you a minimum of £50, likely over £100, selling as individual items. Job lots are less attractive, but do offer to combine postage.
Go for a Sunday 8pm ending.
Not looking for any myself though.
 
As said previously put them on ebay. Pair up identical items and put a 4.99 starting bid. The bidders will decide the price. I would expect £100+ for the lot.
