Way less than the $1000 they brought a few years ago. I haven't seen a set sell for a while so my answer is "I don't know."

[Matt Buckley]

It’s getting to be a smaller market and the shipping is a killer. If you can get $800 shipped in today’s market that would be good.

[Bill Davis]

I sold my set which was complete and with binders and with both index readers for $750. I delivered them to the buyer at a distance of about 60 miles. Shipping is a non-starter. They are frightfully heavy and would require a number of boxes Due to the weight.

[Kevin McCormack]

Both Bills and Matt are spot on - they don't bring what they used to and the best possible arrangement is to agree on a selling price beforehand and deliver them on site (e.g., Hausmann's, Rock Mountain, Southern SxS & etc.). Then buyer sees what he is getting re: condition and completeness and seller can hang tough or negotiate as appropriate.

[Phil Yearout]

I'm keeping mine.

[Bill Murphy]

I packed Linda's set in wine boxes and sent them "media mail" fairly inexpensively. But, of course, I sold them at the height of the market a few volumes lighter.

[Dean Romig]

I'm keeping mine.



ME TOO PHIL !!!

The reason I asked is that a good friend, significantly younger than me, asked if I would consider selling. I am not anxious to sell, but, would sell to this person. I would know that they landed with a true Parker and Side by Side enthusiast.
At 84 I'm going to have start thinking of selling "stuff".

Hey Bob! I am rapidly approaching 80 and I started downsizing about two years ago. It no longer made any sense to hang onto all this “stuff“! My kids have no interest and in some cases. I actually enjoy seeing items go to appreciative next generation caretakers. Wishing you well! Bill.

[Bill Murphy]

I think $750 would be a "today price" for the full set, even though they are worth more. Anyone who wouldn't pay that much is just not interested.

[Clark McCombe]

If someone does have another complete set out there, I’d be interested.
There’s a long winter ahead - looking forward to some good reading.
Thanks

Allan Swanson's widow, Jean, would sell his set. He wanted $750 a couple years ago. You can contact her through this site. Message Allan Swanson. She will get the message. I must have deleted his Candia NH phone number, but others here may still have it.

Thank Edgar and Dean.
I will contract Jean tomorrow.

[Bill Murphy]

Offer to pay her extra if she ships them in one of Allan's hand made wooden boxes.

[Clark McCombe]

Would be happy to, and travel to pick them up if it made things easier.
