@BicCristal Hi there. I know it is a pain in the back, but if you ever manage to attach a price tag per piece on the items in your list, I cannot exclude that the community effort might even allow to free yourself of this “burden” of a collection in some way.
If what leaves you doubtful is the flood of micro-payments, and you prefer one single big check around the figure you had in mind for this sale, maybe we can find a trusted collector here who is willing to gather the money form the single-specimen buyers, and send you just one payment, to later re-distribute the pieces to those who have booked something, as many of us have done in past posts of this thread.
This has already worked for group purchase on this board — maybe the overall money on the table was less, I reckon — and may as well work in the future, with other large collections hard to move as a single lot.
Please forgive me if I repeated something you have already had to listen to many times; in my defence, I really would like to get some of your pencils, as many of us would I believe, and it is only my limited budget which prevents me to pull the trigger and get the whole package, even if only to trade or sell blocks later on.
Thanks for the message. The issue is time, really. Individually packaging and shipping even a quarter of these with the care that I would expect to be taken (as a collector myself) would be a ridiculous amount of time I just don’t have in my new job.
I posted this knowing that whoever buys this would only want a small portion of them, but could make a good bit of their money back on reselling the rest - that individual pricing and shipping just isn’t something that’s realistic for me right now.
2 Mechanicas, including one Dai Nippon 0.3mm example (the original, pre-1972 model of the first 0.3mm pencil ever made)
Several vintage and modern flagship models - Pentel Technomatic, Pilot Gentleman Young, Hi-Uni 5050 UniCarbo, Staedtler 925-95’s, TK-Matic’s, 8 or so automacs, 10+ orenznero’s, etc
A full set of Alvin Draftec/Graphic Retracs. This is the only full set that has ever been documented on web. There is a 0.3mm owned by another member of this forum, but outside of that I’ve never seen another.
Examples of almost every important drafting line from the ‘80’s and ‘90’s, with some complete or nearly complete sets
The last aluminum-finish LRD Grip D568 that Lucio Rossi ever produced, single-batched for me.
Plenty of oddities from 100’s of hours searching proxy markets.
Scroll up for pictures. The goodies are unfortunately spread across 20 or so photos - it’s a big collection.
Happy to ship or meet in person, I’m located in the Mid-Atlantic US.
