sheridanman Report post Posted December 27, 2014 Reposting this lot of assorted stamp tools, adjustable Craftool swivel knife, Chan Geer pattern packs and more plus three Al Stohlman books and one of which is the hard to find paperback issue which I have kept in great condition. This leather tools book by Al cost around $600 USD new at Amazon and around $300 to $400 used with some abuse. I also have 3 replacement stitch marker wheels sizes 4,5,6 from Vergez-Blanchard which I purchased with shipping and taxes around $200 USD. I have no use for these stuff and would like to turn them into cash to fund my leatherworking. I will $350 USD for the lot and will ship via DHL door to door shipping Shipping is quite expensive here and that stohlman book is a steal with this lot's price. Pls. Pm me if interested. Thanks! Ritch R ! I am selling the whole lot for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NVLeatherWorx Report post Posted December 27, 2014 Sorry to break it to you but the tools book has never been valued at $600, it is available brand new from Tandy Leather for $20.00 or it can be downloaded from their Leathercraft Library for less. I have pretty much everything here (aside from those specific stitching wheels) and they are currently listed at $22.50 each right from Vergez-Blanchard (just verified their price 5 minutes ago). At best you might be able to get $100 for the lot, before shipping. Sorry about that but we all tend to make sure that anything we are investing in is actually has a value to us and is worth what is being asked. Just simple business sense.

Troy Burch Report post Posted December 27, 2014 I have almost every Al Stohlman book made including that exact one, I bought it new about 8 or 9 years ago for $9.95 are you telling me it's now worth 4 to 6 hundred? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camano ridge Report post Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) No offense to the OP, but I find this post somewhat suspect. Giving benefit of the doubt maybe it is a language barrier or currency conversion error. Amazon shows no Al Stohlman book priced over $79.50 that I could find. His post says he is re posting these items. If he is using DHL he is probaly shipping from overseas. I agree with NVLW the items are way over priced.

25b Report post Posted December 27, 2014 I thought several people before pointed out that those Vergez-Blanchard wheels aren't that expensive. I guess he either didn't believe them or is hoping no one else remembers that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camano ridge Report post Posted December 27, 2014 He evidently forgot he posted them in October. Vergez-Blanchard has a set of for or five wheels including the handle for the price he sayshe paid for three without handle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheridanman Report post Posted December 28, 2014 Hey guys no harm done here I myself personally was surprised when I had inquiries about that book before I reposted my stuff with the leather tools book together in the lot. I was wondering why these inquiries came up and coincedentally both inquiries asked me if I had that book too since i had the stitching and csse making book from Al, and would sell it with the other books. They wanted the paperback issue which I do have. I went inline to investigate if there were no paperback issues anymore which to me is surprising, I stumbled upon links to Tandy that they had it in PDF form of some kind that one can download for $10 USD maybe less. And those links led me to dozens of paperback book issues of the leather tools in prices ranging from $300 USD that have folds and tears in them and the mint ones that had $500 to $600 USD. I thought it was a joke and didn't bother at all think in it wouldn't be that possible since there books that are hardbound that can be bought and have almost the same concepts in context. Well my bad to have mentioned it honest mistake no harm done to me and thanks for being honest. I have no intentions of scamming or taking anyone's money dishonestly. I easrn my money thru hard work in leather working so hope I didn't mislead anyone if I did I apologize. With regards to the verges stitch marker wheels set I did pay that amount since I am from the Philippines I have to pay custom duties wen shipping stuff from the west. Its not easy here. If anyone who is a foreigner and had resided here in my country you will understand what I'm talking about. Anyways happy holidays to everyone here. If anyone's interested to take any of the stuff just send me a pm I'd be happy to listen to any offers. If any of these stuff is sold well good and thanks extra cash to keep my smalltime business going and if it won't sell its OK it'll stay in the box. Again I apologize my bad. Thanks!
