Advice on pricing vintage nunchaku

[SteyrAUG]

that's what he asked me to do and not being funny mate what has it got to do with u 1st rule respect every one and everything I don't now who taught you but its clear you have not learnt nothing I'm not intrested in anything you have to say leave it to who know what they are going on  about

A few things since you know so much about respect.

1. It's disrespectful to hijack another persons sale post like you have done.

2. My initial reply was in NO WAY disrespectful, I was cautioning you to think about it before you get rid of a family hand me down. Your entire reply was disprespectful.

3. This is the FIRST you've mention that it was his wish that you sell them. Perhaps you should have mentioned it.

4. You will receive respect commensurate with the level of respect earned. I don't know who taught you anything, respect is not automatic or mandatory.

As a "for example" anyone who would sell their grandfathers war trophies and flag would not be deserving of any respect. Not saying this is what you are doing, but is simply an example provided so that you might understand where I'm coming from.

At any rate, how about we stop hijacking The Generator's thread. If you want to continue this, by all means start your own thread.

read what the topic says mate and what am i trying to do

[mearns33]

I'm with you 100% on this one but as you've experienced here, some people have zero interest in holding on to a family heirloom. Here's one on an exponentially larger scale.



This guy sold his deceased father's Superbird that was in the family since it was new, complete with all the paperwork. He did this so he could buy a Camaro. Camaros are everwhere, your dad's car is not. His wife was chewing his @ss out as the Winged Warrior was leaving down the driveway.

my grandfather still alive mate i fight with my hands mate not a tool and the moneys going to him iv got loads of stuff from him thanks things that mean things thanks for caring

mearns33, please chill-out. It is not necessary to get hostile.
I am confident SteyrAug has said all he is going to say on this matter.
Lets move on....

iv done nothing wrong mate i was looking for help that's all and i get this if you read what his has wrote then you may understand its not really fair how he treats people when he knows little about them any how did you see the chucks?

In the interest of being fair, I did offer advice one what they would probably be worth. I'm hoping that low estimate is NOT why you are upset, I was simply being realistic.

I also was genuinely concerned that you might sell something you could regret later. People do it all the time without thinking about it. Again, I was trying to help.

I was also under the impression that your grandfather had passed and you were selling an item that you had no interest in. If we had more information a lot of this misunderstanding could have been avoided.

I'd urge you to re read my first reply to you with this in mind, there was no disrespect in any of that and I was hardly talking down to you. Obviously I didn't think much of your reply to me and I replied in kind.

are you aware that they are antiques if you clean them they lose value there worth quite abit of money

[SteyrAUG]

I don't recall saying you should clean them.

Also just because something is 40 years old doesn't make it valuable or necessarily antique. I made dozen of nunchaku in the late 70s...none of them are worth anything because they never were. That is all I'm trying to say.

[SteyrAUG]

Well at risk of sounding critical, that's more information we could have used. The problem you will have is provenance because lots of people make all kinds of claims. And so I don't make any assumptions...are you saying these were won by your grandfather at some kind of martial arts competition around 40 years ago?

and you were making nunchucks in the 70s that would make you around 50 yahoo says different so not only are you lying to me but to these good people on this website and could you tell me abit more about these items that people haven't received your a scammer and you just been found out ; ) its amazeing what tools you get being admin on another site

[Stickmanwalking]

Hey, generator, a basic price for good old U-swivels is 100 bucks, the ball bearing U-swivs are worth up to 150. The old corded chucks are worth 15 to 20 bucks. Old ball bearing chucks aren't safe to use and have little value. That said, here on the forum I have gotten them cheaper, and lots of people sell them cheaper because they dont know what its worth. For the record, I will pay cash for ANY antique U- swivel, but first I have to outbid Steyraug and Milwaukee, lol!

Well f**k, if Yahoo says so I must be wrong.

Here's a clue detective. There is video of me on this website and I have posted pictures of myself from when I was a kid "during the 70s" on this website.

 

Glad to know I'm not old anymore.
