Going out of business sale - 351 pen kits!!!

[YoYoSpin]

OK, this will be my final round of pen kit sales. What I want to do this time is a take-it-all silent auction, where everything goes to the highest bidder for one price.

Here's the deal...have a look through this list (below), figure out what you think is a fair price and make your best offer no later than midnight Saturday, 21 January via email to yoyo@yoyospin.com. Do not PM me or post your offers here on this forum. The one who makes the highest offer wins the entire lot of goodies. The winner may pay by PayPal or personal check. Shipping within the USA will be free. My reserve price for this lot is $1,000, which is about 1/3rd of retail for those items listed below.

In addition to the items shown on this list (below), I'll be throwing in a lot of extras, like mandrels, bushings, drill bits, turning blanks, extra brass tubes and a few partial kits (not listed)...I'm getting out of the pen making business, so everything I have pen-wise will be included. Send me an email if you have any questions. Good luck...

Here's the list of pen kits, all of which are complete and new as from the manufacturer (see the photo below to get some idea of the scale).

Yeah...who won?????

 

[bitshird]

Truth is we all lost, Ed is a master turner, many of us learned a lot seeing his work and some of the neat things he made.

Thanks everyone. The sale went smoothly but I probably should not announce who won, for privacy's sake.

Sales round next will include stainless steel bottle stopper bases, stopper display stands, clock kits, music box movements, hourglass kits, fancy cabochons and lots of exotic wood.
