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.

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.

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.

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.

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". Bob Jurewicz |
