On e-Bay - box set of 67's - what do you think?

Post by smokepole »

I am not 100% sure this is the right forum for this but I saw it on e-Bay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rare-Bo ... 3cc44acdbc and initially thought "WoW!! hot d@mn!! Amazing" - I'd love to own that - advertised as a complete, matching box set of half a dozen 67's.

Then I had a look at the pics. Am I being full of it or is the best one can say that there is a box and he does have 6 x 67's.........?

You're right Smoke. He does have six used #67s and he does have a box. I think you'll agree with me, they're not worth $45 each (discounting any value the box might have) but he is open to an offer. I suppose there's someone out there that either won't read the auction carefully or loves their #67s so much that they don't care.

Do anything with that Klein yet? I'm still trying to decide what to do with the Giraffe bone.

Hey Jerry, pretty much in the same boat as you - still haven't worked on the Klein - too much new stuff needing to be made, but I have promised myself from after the Easter weekend I am going to take an hour a day to work on my factory customs - I have a very nice Camillus Barlow that is next in line - that has been stripped down and cleaned up - just needs new scales, and then the Klein is next.

I have to agree with you on the value of these 67's - there are one or two there that I might pay $35 or maybe $40 for, but there are at least two or three there that I wouldn't go over $25 on.
