Used socket sets in Cleveland typically sell for $20 to $120. Socket sets are valued by completeness, because buyers count the pieces against the case moulding.
Selling a socket set in Cleveland
Cleveland was one of the great industrial cities of the Midwest, on the lake with a river that famously caught fire and a subsequent environmental recovery. It has a world-renowned medical centre, a major orchestra and a rock and roll museum on the waterfront.
Industrial decline left a great deal of good tooling in private hands, and the medical sector moves staff on residency and rotation cycles. Freeze-thaw here is hard on anything stored in a garage.
Driving is assumed and the city is spread along the lake. Lake-effect snow is heavy and arrives fast in winter, so agree a fallback rather than assuming a scheduled day will hold.
Cleveland, in Ohio, has around 370,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Cleveland
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
