Re: Large amount of Drake gear in latest Schulman web auction
|
That would save a lot?of issues but I am sure the cost of that service is not cheap. I guess that is why I am seeing more ham gear on craigs list?for really low prices and at the local Goodwill,Salvation?Army Store and other discount?stores. A family several years ago told the wife of a passing ham to just give all the ham gear to goodwill.? After filling many ham items in an outside goodwill bin which was later picked up she realized that probably was not the thing to do.? After talking to a ham who arranged other hams to stop buy she made over $6000 that day on the remaining items.? However some equipment?was missing control heads or radios or amplifiers and the heavy power supplies were left behind.? I know of a $5000 UHF Lunar 1KW amp that went to the goodwill?store here in Colorado.? I got the power supply as it was too heavy for her to pick up.? I saw that Lunar 1 kw amp at a Hamfest here in Colorado a year later who purchased it without the power supply in a Goodwill store on the other side of the state.?

So I guess you still have to pack and ship the radio's to Dave so he can auction them off and pack and ship them to the new owner.? ?No matter what you choose to use to sell you still have to pack and ship.? Am I missing something?by using Dave's Auction Service?? I have never tried to buy or sell on Dave's website.? Will be sure to list that as an option for whatever is left of my ham gear when I go to the Big Ham Shack in the Sky. ? Myron: Most of us old guys figure it is the fastest to sale and less lugging BA¡¯s to the fedx store hi hi.. Dave¡¯s site brings some top dollar these days and the nice thing he checks everything out and lists what is does and does not do. So you are not buying a hit or miss ebay items. 73 Tony WA4JQS ?

Wouldn't think you would get as many dollars from the auction? process as you would through individual local or ham website sources.? What kind of fees are charging using the Schulman Auction??? ? Yep us old farts ! I two years ago had over 30 working radios and 20 parts radios ! I¡¯m down to 3 radios !? Had to help a sk wife cleanup ! He had 200 items or more ! Don¡¯t want my kids to go through that .? It woke me up!? I still have a room 18x18 full but most of it will be easy to get someone to take it . We actually have a few younger hams in our club now so I¡¯d hope they would take it.? Yes our days are numbered just when we get old we realize they¡¯re getting a few! ? Well guess us old farts. lol.got my ticket in 62 at age 15 now pushing 75.collected and restoration for the past 55 yrs.now getting time to let more go.? But just my guess.73.Tony wa4jqs?

Where does all this classic?radio equipment come from? ?

He has arrangements with a local shipping place (UPS??) and uses them. I would drop him a line to find out all the particulars. I am local so I just drive over!? Not that I buy much since I am already well stocked with the projects!? But, bottom line, check on the auction site and then contact Mr. Schulman with any further questions.?
