Try sending signed for that way they cant say it did not arrive. Expect about $1400 and hope for twice that. Pack with great care in a firm box with plenty of padding.

Ie, someone claiming they didn't receive it, or say they want to return it and it never comes back - that kind of thing?<br /><br />Also, how would one pack an item like this, particularly with the very delicate glassine cove?<br /><br />Any advice would be much appreciated.<br /><br />It's still hard to consider parting with it - such sentimental value. Any guesses what it would be worth?Eric Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444502686366742203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045845679444796608.post-55899863020614760042011-04-13T22:20:10.318+00:002011-04-13T22:20:10.318+00:00ERic--protect yourself on Ebay either with a high ...ERic--protect yourself on Ebay either with a high statrting price (the minimimum you will accept) or start low but have a reserve below which it cannot sell, the former is much cheaper but often ends up with no bids at all.

Caveat vendor however--the place is full of bottom feeders, cheapskates and dullards/ dimwits, with the occasional shining star with a fat wallet.

While it would be hard to part with, I have some motivation to do so and am curious what the possibilities would be.<br /><br />I'd appreciate any info on what independent sources (ie, you) think i could get for it, and what the best method would be if I wanted to go this route - consign through dealer? sell to dealer? Sell on Ebay???<br /><br />Thanks, EricEric Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444502686366742203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045845679444796608.post-36019852954511917862011-02-18T19:15:27.643+00:002011-02-18T19:15:27.643+00:00Good to see someone dissing Powells-- they have th...Good to see someone dissing Powells-- they have the most unpleasant staff in the world and dont' know how to pack a book.
