The nice thing in this kind of transaction, from the shop side of the counter, is that you know two things for certain:
1. These tools are stolen.
2. The moron thug has absolutely zero clue what he has, so you can tell him a $500 pipe threader is worth $20 and he will do the deal.
And then if the cops match the serial numbers and the plumber comes to get his threader, he can buy it back for $20.
(That happens 5% of the time. 95% of the time, I sell it on the bay for $500 and the shop makes an enormous profit.)
