Dean_Lapinel Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I need to sell everything but I don't know how to approach this. I don't want to sell piece by piece but would consider parcels such as books or tools or wood. I'm just starting this so PM for discussions on pricing. I live in Boise, Idaho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean_Lapinel Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Sorry... Hello to all you good folk. I miss this forum and violin making. I still follow many of you on Instagram, FB. Also, I need to change the photo. I'm much older looking for some odd reason. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnfinnviolin Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Im interested in the wood, Bridges, repair clamps, and the German f hole book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean_Lapinel Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Tomorrow I'll take pics of the one piece European maple backs (some 2 piece but all gorgeous) that have been seasoned over 15 years, the split spruce (also excellent) and the clamps. I don't want to sell single books but I would consider breaking it up into lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean_Lapinel Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Also about 5 tons of laminated Strad posters and the Croen (sp?) purfling tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dean Good to see you here and hope all is well. How much are you asking for the Croen purfling tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Allen Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'm very interested in the DG books. They're my white whale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elise2000 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi. how much would you accept for the entire book collection? Feel free to pm me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean_Lapinel Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 This is difficult and perhaps one of you who remembers me can PM some advice. I always bought the best tonewoods (now quite aged), best tools and the book collection speaks for itself and the accessories (4 tail pieces and peg sets that were not pictured) are not the low end stuff. I was willing to take a low price for the whole lot and I do have an offer. I haven't shown pics of the tonewoods yet but I'm getting requests for 2-3 items not lots such as all books, all tonewood, all tools. The problem is that I wish I could accommodate those that I have known for so many years and I still may but then it hurts the chances of selling the rest more rapidly. So let me first start by taking offers for the whole lot only. If there is no additional interest beyond the current offers I'll take offers for the book lot , the tool lot the tonewood/accessory lot etc... If that doesn't work out then I'll take care of those I already know and figure it out later. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean_Lapinel Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I am sorry everyone. This isn't going to work in this manner. I'm going to withdraw everything for now while I try and figure out a smoother process ...if one exists. Thanks for you offers, questions and support.

Dean Dean why don`t you list the items with prices on Ebay? Provide a link in this thread and then interested people can look it up and buy it directly. All the best mate, I truly dread the day I have to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scordatura Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Ebay is the way to go. You will have to pay seller fees but figure that into your costs. You can even print mailing labels. To me the shipping is the biggest hassle. Sorry to be captain obvious on this if you already know the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZFiddle Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) You might consider loading up a collection of goodies and driving down to Salt Lake City to the Violin Making School of America. The students may be a good set of buyers. If you wish to do this, contact Charles Woolf at the contact email on the school's website, vmsa.net.
