    Default Pen Blanks for sale

    With a big move coming up I am looking to clear out all of my pen blanks.

    I have around 400 timber blanks of all different species and sizes - tiger myrtle, new guinea rosewood, Jarrah, Elm, beefwood, paperbark, etc. as well as 1 Jim Beam and 2 Jack Daniels blanks from Timberbits.

    I also have 70+ Acrylic & Poly Resin Blanks.

    See pictures below.

    Looking to sell as one lot, or two lots - 1 for timber & 1 for acrylic.

    I'm trying not to think about what I have paid in total for all of these, and asking a bargain price of $225 for the lot of timber blanks, and $140 for all of the Acrylic/Poly-resin blanks, pick-up from Narre Warren preferred, otherwise postage additional.

    Default Any takers?

    I've attached a breakdown of the blanks.

    Any takers? Make me a decent offer.

    Cheers,

    Would pay $140 for the acrylic blanks if you include postage to 2229.

    Cheers, Gary

    Hi Gary,

    The postage would be approx. $25 so if you are willing to split the difference and pay half, i.e. total price $152.50, I can post them out. These are a steal at this price.

    Cheers,
    HuonFletch

    Thanks. I'll take them. Making an offer brought out the scammers - one pm saying I'd get a quicker response if I emailed them direct, and the other pm using your name with a full stop after it. Both have been reported to Admin. Please pm details for payment - I'll triple check to make sure it's you (and your account).

    Cheers, Gary

    Hi Gary, could you please use the little black triangle to report the PMs, that way we have a direct link to the scammers.
    Cheers

    Out of curiosity, did you log their IP address?

    I have a friend in a similar position with heaps of kits and blanks left over now he isn't capable of making the pens anymore. He has about $2500 worth of kits at today's prices and it looks like he might be stuck with them too, such a shame.

    Unfortunately a sign of the times, no spare cash for many households, in fact not even enough for the essentials. Seems that "middle income" households are feeling it more.

    So not many buyers out there, for completed pens, kits or blanks.

    I ordered some blanks online. One batch supposedly posted no idea where they are, no reply to emails. Another lot still not posted, being processed for over a week. Now to deal with PayPal.
