So >checks google maps< that's only 2700+ miles away from my house. I'm not even sure how you could ship all that but this is one of those times I think I wish I lived near Georgia.

The only person near you that I know of is jamesp but he probably knows many who are near. As someone who buys for resale just a little, your pricing is pretty close to that, if it weren't like 24 hours driving each way. If you find local buyers who want to buy individual items I would set up a price list that would get you about 1 1/2 times your asking for all of it, you may sell it faster that way and reach your price goal. You can also see if you have a pack and ship service near you, I don't blame you for not wanting to do it yourself, but if you have contact info you can direct buyers there to make arrangements, leaving you to just drop the stuff off. If you take that route, I say zelle only for payment, sellers aren't the only scammers out there. The other upside to shipping is no one comes to your home. I'm becoming very cautious in that regard lately, no bad experiences but don't want the first one either.

Thanks for all the tips. I have three interested parties in just the Ameritool grinder itslef, what's a fair price for just that & the discs? One of the parties is local too just an hour away so that's a plus. Pick up at the door really means meet me at the McDonalds, thanks for the caution though. The vibra lap and the tumblers kind of go together as they both use the grits and polishes, once you get that mess going you may as well do both processes Oh and I "know" jamesp I got some very cool glass from him a few years ago and made some pretty cabochons.

I have had a couple of people interested in the Ameritool by itself and possibly the rocks would you be interested in all of the other pieces as a lot? If you need time to save you could make a deposit and I will hold it for you. The deposit would be non-refundable. I am not in a huge rush to get it gone.

I was def interested in the Ameritool as well. I had to google the vibra lap, wow that could come in handy for all these big pieces of rose quartz I wouldn’t have to bust up smaller to tumble! That could be cool indeed! Grits -def want! Ahhh my list is already so long and funds finite. Def sell what you can sell but let me know what you have left and see what I can work with!
