Views only, but I had included poor-quality photos in the original post. Not smart on my part. I submitted an edit with much crisper pics, as well as a new post with the better pics. Maybe the administrator will help me out.

Please pardon my original posting of "soft" stamp photos in racks. Here are ones in much greater focus.

Sorry. This book has been SOLD.

Please understand that I'm not a leather worker. I'm simply cleaning out the house of an elderly widow whose husband was a leather worker, so I'm more interested in getting the clean-out done than in making money. Feel free to make what you think is a fair offer for any or all the items and they're yours. Postage additional; continental U.S. only. First come, first served.

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD! Thanks for giving me a forum in which to post it.

Hey, thanks for that, Northmount! Much appreciated!

Correction: "unable to pick up..." in original post should read "able to pick up...."

6 hours ago, Ken Nelson said:I have sold vehicles, several sewing machines, and some tools on facebook. And everytime, I have had people send me low-ball messages and I either send them a smart ass answer back or ignore them. But, I have never put anything on Market Place that did not sell for asking price or real close to it in time. Usually pretty quick. There are ignorant people out there and don't let them ruin your day.
Good advice. Thanks! Fortunately, I'm in no rush to sell these items and I'm accountable to other people for getting a reasonable return on whatever I sell because I'm not selling things for myself. Also, fortunately, I've become pretty good at ignoring obviously unreasonable offers.

8 hours ago, BigSiouxSaddlery said:I've actually had pretty good luck selling on FB marketplace. Only once did anyone try to low ball me to the point that it got annoying. I just took the ad down rather than deal with it. As with buying and selling of anything, you just have to remember "you're 21" and stick to your guns. I've had buyers try every "horse trader's" trick under the sun through the years to get me down in price. Horse traders tricks don't work on someone that's traded a few horses.
HAHAHA! I haven't traded any horses in my life, but I'm familiar with the word "firm," when pricing items for sale. I'm going to use NextDoor, FB Marketplace and OfferUp (I just discovered that site) to sell items. I really want to sell to local people because I don't want to be bothered with shipping things all over the planet. "Cash and Carry" is another favorite term when selling things! Anyway, thanks for your feedback!

The best place to advertise is on leatherworking sites, or maybe e-Bay.
[keeps muttering to self: You do NOT need more tools, you do NOT need more tools....]
Thanks for the advice. I understand why people want to pay as little as possible, but I hate haggling. If someone doesn't want to buy something for the price I'm asking, they can find it somewhere else. I try very hard to be reasonable with pricing things. And LOL... I hope you're able to resist the "more tools" temptation. Unless, of course, you have some reason to treat yourself! Happy leatherworking!
