Used tool sets in Coventry typically sell for £20 to £150 (about $27 to $200). Tool sets sell on completeness, so count everything against the case moulding before listing — a set with obvious gaps is worth far less than one you can show is complete.
Selling a tool set in Coventry
Coventry made cars and bicycles before it made anything else, and the ruined cathedral beside the new one is the defining image of the city after the war. Two universities and a continuing automotive engineering presence give it a mix of students and skilled manufacturing workers.
The ring road defines the centre and is the reference point everyone uses, though it is not somewhere to stop. Agree a spot inside or outside it and confirm parking, because the centre is largely pedestrianised.
On car parts, ask whether they came off a running vehicle or a scrapped one. Both circulate here in quantity and they are worth very different amounts, and a photograph will not tell you which.
Coventry, in England, has around 345,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Coventry
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.

Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
