Subject: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Nov 10 - 01:22 PM A friend of mine has decided to quit Folk Music. Her entire library collection is up. It includes quite a few books which are no longer available from both sides of the pond. All of the books will be shipped as soon as they are paid for and are FOB Maine, USA. 10% Mudcut. She also has a 20 year collection of SingOut! from 1985 through 2004. They are in 2 boxes and are available for $50 plus shipping. PM me with any comments or questions. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Nov 10 - 01:23 PM The closing date is to allow the books to get to you by Christmas. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Deckman Date: 16 Nov 10 - 02:03 PM Can you give us a list of the book titles? bob(deckman)nelson |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Nov 10 - 03:35 PM Go to the Mudcat auction site. They are all there. My apology for not making this clearer. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 16 Nov 10 - 03:44 PM Thanks for that clarification. What are acceptable forms of payment? Oh...postage? Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Nov 10 - 04:03 PM PayPal is probably the most efficient but I will accept checks. Yes, postage is additional. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 16 Nov 10 - 08:07 PM It's a very good set of auction items. Some lucky people will get some wonderful books. Thanks for posting them here on Mudcat. Good luck, everyone. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Nov 10 - 08:13 PM Maybe Maeve and I will be the only ones who find them. Maybe Maeve and I will end up in a bloody bidding war.... Hmmmm???? -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: GUEST,Dani Date: 16 Nov 10 - 08:15 PM How do you 'quit' folk music?! Dani |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 16 Nov 10 - 08:17 PM Sure Joe, if I had the funds I'd buy every one. I can guarantee none would be duplicates for me! You'll have to fight it out with someone else though; I've bid more than I should already. Good luck. Maeve |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 16 Nov 10 - 11:13 PM Make the bid "transparent" (like government is required to do)...
There may be a guest too... that will double the bid of you two.
A "good auctioneer" would at least throw the titles into this thread.
Sincerely,
For a valid evaluation, and "fair market price" there is NOTHING in print now... or the past .... that cannot be connected through "ABE Books COM" |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: zozimus Date: 17 Nov 10 - 08:43 AM Hi, Good collection of books there. However, I cannot see amy sign of the closing date. When is it? |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 17 Nov 10 - 09:01 AM zozimus- Each of the music book auctions is listed as "28 days to closing. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 17 Nov 10 - 10:34 AM The closing date is December 15. That way, we can get the order shipped for Christmas delivery for those who want it as a gift for themselves or others. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 17 Nov 10 - 10:38 AM Oh, my, good stuff indeed. I hope your friend doesn't regret this someday, EB! |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 17 Nov 10 - 11:13 AM There was a question about Oak Publications. Here are the Oak books. Favorite French Folk Songs Folk Songs of Peggy Seeger Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem Songbook Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger Songbook Folk Songs of the Southern Appalachians (Jean Ritchie) American Folksong (Woody Guthrie) She has switched entirely to classical. ABE did not have some of these, including a couple which did not get listed because I snatched them up myself. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Nov 10 - 07:11 PM Oh, this is so fwustwating! Will you people please STOP OUTBIDDING ME??? -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 17 Nov 10 - 07:33 PM No. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: GUEST,Dani Date: 17 Nov 10 - 09:00 PM Don't get around here much, these days. What a nice surprise! I'm picturing all of us milling around the auction table @ a getaway with you all. Drop a bid, hope to win, not worth making an enemy over, we'll probably trade/sell/give these to each other over and over again. Or, our kids will. Bon chance! Dani |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 17 Nov 10 - 09:44 PM Sooo...there is a PUBLIC LISTING outside of MC? WHERE ... your client expects the highest market value?
What are the titles, dates, and publisher....
Sincerely,
OK ... this will be perhaps the two-thousandth ... multiple personality to MC ... Estonia is working for me. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 17 Nov 10 - 10:18 PM Garg, this is the only listing available. According to my friend, most of this stuff was put up on eBay and drew no bids. Go figure. I am doing her a favor. Most of this stuff was published only once so date of publication, etc., is not really necessary. I gave you the information I got. When I receive a legitimate, specific question, I try to find out the answer. No, it is not multiple personality on my part. This legitimately a posting for a friend of mine. By the way, please put your secondary postings in a strong enough color to allow it to be easily read. Thanx. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Janie Date: 18 Nov 10 - 08:48 PM EBarnacle, re: Folks Song of Central West Virginia, do you know if this is one volume, some volumes or the entire 8 volume set? If not the complete set, any idea about which volume(s)? Thanks. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 18 Nov 10 - 09:30 PM It's 3 volumes. I will ask about which volumes. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 18 Nov 10 - 09:35 PM Dear Mr. EBarnacle
I am NOT a member of Mudcat. For "world-wide bidding" (and highest price) may I suggest the listing of the publications into THIS thread, with an extension of two weeks. At the moment - you have a VERY SMALL and select audience.
Sincerely,
The WWW "bots" do not have access...nor do I...to your "clients" bookshelf. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Joe Offer Date: 18 Nov 10 - 09:43 PM Well, Garg, if you want to bid, all you have to do is log in. Otherwise, perhaps it would be better if "Mr. Barnacle" ignored you. After all, it really isn't all that hard to log in - and logging in provides a level of safety that isn't otherwise available. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 18 Nov 10 - 09:49 PM Janie, I am told it's volumes 1, 2 and 3. Sorry, Gargoyle. For simplicity, I am keeping it to the auction site. If I have to coordinate on site and off site bidding, I will go crazier than I already am. It would also be unfair to the people who are bidding on the auction site. The reason, as explained above, for not extending the auction is that I wish to allow people who do bid to receive their books for Christmas. 30 days should be long enough for anyone. If you have a desire to bid and do not wish to join the 'cat after all these years, let me know what you wish to bid on and I will place the bids for you. My friend is not a member and she is able to view the auction. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Janie Date: 19 Nov 10 - 01:38 AM Thanks, EBarnacle! |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 19 Nov 10 - 09:21 PM Just to keep it up! |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 19 Nov 10 - 11:16 PM There is zero interest in 20 years of "Wringing Writer Prose."
However, ... given the "right book" ... it may yeild 20 times your best offer ...from any ol' Joe. And then again ... they may not be worth the postage.
Post the list. A world wide audeince is available. Over 5,000 "used book sellers" may gild your client's pockets...while five vultures sit on the sidelines.
Your need to sell appears desperate.
Consult, "antique book emporium" AKA "abebooks" for comparison pricing....
Sincerely,

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Dani Date: 23 Nov 10 - 06:23 AM Does nobody read anymore?! There are some incredible books here. I can't bid much, but I recognize what's there. Tell your friends and relations! Pete Seegers Incompleat Folksinger should be on everyone's shelf. And for a good cause? Come on, people! Dani |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 23 Nov 10 - 06:34 AM You're right, Dani. There are some amazing treasures in the current auctions. I had thought to replace a few of the books I lost, but alas can't bid any higher. Good luck to those who can! |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 23 Nov 10 - 10:27 AM Joe said it best: This is a wish list. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 23 Nov 10 - 03:01 PM A few days ago, Joe sent me the following PM: Eb, could that book be: Bushes and Briars: Folk Songs Collected by Ralph Vaughan Williams?? On checking,it turns out that he is correct. The listing will be corrected and anyone who bid on the incorrect listing can withdraw his or her bid by contacting Joe. Sorry for the error. |
