Sinsull and also a response to Kat's earlier note.

The whole business of auctioning off my folk music stuff is pretty complicated for me. I know that some of the stuff has value. I also know that I would like it purchased by someone who will use it to learn from.

I may get a higher price on EBAY but I am less certain that the buyer will learn a song or two from it. So I have a dual purpose for listing it here. I want to get fair value, not necessarily the highest price I can get for it, and I want to at least have a reasonable assurance that the person who buys it is a folkie and will use it to carry on the music in some form or other.

Also the fees that I would wind up paying to EBAY goes to the Mudcat. I'm not going to pay EBAY and possibly PayPal fees and also give the Mudcat a percentage.
