About to sell 'em..........

Islandpiper · Post by **Islandpiper** » Wed Nov 21, 2007 6:22 pm

Looking for a bit of advice regarding the pending sale of my Greenwood UPs with case and some spare parts and reeds......bellows, bag, chanter, three drones, mainstock bored for regs........cocobolo and boxwood with brass mounts......nice pipes, on which I will never become proficient. What is the best place to offer these? And what is a fair price?

Thanks in advance for any serious info and ideas!!

Cheers, Islandpiper

Uilleann obsession has a classifieds section that you might try. Good luck.

You could also post the advert here, throw in a few photos so that we can all dream

Is anyone willing to drop me a line and suggest start prices ? And would eBay be the best place to sell, at least from my perspective?

Thanks!! Islandpiper

Check with David B. first - it would be to his advantage to see that the set was in good working order before it was resold, and he may have a customer in the waiting list who may prefer a refurbished set (with some sort of after-sales support) to a wait. It's also a courtesy to the maker to do this IMO, and often is to mutual advantage (seller, maker, and buyer).

Best regards,

Bill

Thanks for the suggestions and emails from those who did. I have sold the set at purchase price. Just like boat ownership: the two happiest days are they day you buy it, and the day you sell it.
Thanks!
