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: 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: maeve Date: 20 Nov 10 - 07:00 AM Looks like I'm outbid on all but one. This is a very nice array of music books. Thanks to EBarnacle for all the time he spent posting the auctions and answering questions. Good luck, everyone! |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 20 Nov 10 - 09:19 AM Thanks, Susan. Now Gargoyle has to find a new excuse to complain. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 20 Nov 10 - 02:54 PM Thanks, kat. I'm not going further with the auction. I hope other bidders get the books they most wanted. |

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. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 27 Nov 10 - 01:09 PM Here's another pile my friend found today. When I say she's going out of Folk, I kid you not. If someone wishes to post the names of the new items I've added to the auction for me, I would appreciate it. I'm beat, there are quite a few. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 27 Nov 10 - 04:13 PM Oh, my. I wish I could take some of this off her hands for you. Maeve |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 27 Nov 10 - 09:44 PM After consulting with a couple of people, I am thinking of moving the closing date for the stuff I added today to December 15, to match the earlier material. I will decide by December 1, based on comments on this thread. The general commentary thus far is that, after about 2 weeks, auctions tend to bog down and go no further. Please comment. I will listen and, if appropriate, respond. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Anglo Date: 28 Nov 10 - 02:29 AM Even Mudcat auctions are prone to snipers. People don't bid till the very end. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 28 Nov 10 - 11:58 AM That is true. It is also why I am putting the question to the crowd with plenty of notice. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 28 Nov 10 - 05:17 PM It makes no difference to me. You (or the owner) might find it easier to deal with different closing dates when it is time to ship out a boatload of parcels, however. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Nigel Parsons Date: 28 Nov 10 - 07:35 PM I've put a comment on one of the auctions, but I'll repeat it here. The auction listings don't appear to have the capacity to add a 'Trace' In view of the number of items currently on offer, it would help to have this available. Otherwise I have to remember which items I've bid on, and re-check them periodically. Auctions may become better contested (more cut-throat) if either you could trace the individual items, or, if an automated PM was sent if you get outbid. Cheers Nigel |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 28 Nov 10 - 09:52 PM That's a worthwhile comment. Do we have that capability? If so, I will work with Joe to start it on this auction. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 29 Nov 10 - 08:41 PM Joe says we don't have the capability at present and that there are no plans to install this feature. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: BrooklynJay Date: 29 Nov 10 - 10:00 PM A book that I bid on several days ago has now mysteriously vanished from the list of auction items. What happened? |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 29 Nov 10 - 10:05 PM BrooklynJay- If you'd care to post the title of the auction item or send a PM to EBarnacle it's likely you'll find an answer. Regards, Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 29 Nov 10 - 10:24 PM There was one listing misspelled when I entered it. When I went back to correct it, it created a corrected, almost duplicate listing. At my repuest, Joe removed the incorrect listing. It is also possible that the book is simply hard to find because there are so many books up. Which book is it? Good to hear from you Jay. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Jeri Date: 29 Nov 10 - 10:35 PM BrooklynJay, try setting the filter back to 30 days. The American Folk Songs book--no one's outbid you. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: BrooklynJay Date: 29 Nov 10 - 11:22 PM Yes, the 30 day filter did the trick - many thanks Jeri! Thanks for everyone's help and advice - computers and I have, at best, an adversarial relationship. And EB, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that we can all convene for a chantey sing in NYC on December 17 if the gods smile on us! |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 29 Nov 10 - 11:52 PM To clarify the above: When you go to the auction site to check out what is there, set the filter to 30 days. Some of the items have "timed out" at the 14 day setting. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 29 Nov 10 - 11:53 PM And Thank You, Maeve. I appreciate the help. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 29 Nov 10 - 11:56 PM My pleasure. Although I can't get the books I'd like to, at least I can help keep some of the information straight. I hope I haven't missed any. Any news on the instruments you mentioned? Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 30 Nov 10 - 12:01 AM Thank you, also Jeri. I was not aware that active items could drop off the visible auction, either. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 30 Nov 10 - 09:35 AM I have refreshed the items which were below the 14 day cutoff. I will make an effort to keep all items on the "current" list. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 01 Dec 10 - 04:02 PM Just got a box of books from my friend. Burl Ives Sea Songs is a duplicate to one I have so I am putting up on the auction. I have set the price fairly high because of the prices and conditions I have seen posted on line for the same book. Any questions, contact me. PS: She also sent me a copy of the 1 volume Bronson, heh, heh, heh. Happy Chanukah to me. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 01 Dec 10 - 10:28 PM It has been brought to my attention that the Burl Ives Sea Songs can be gotten for significantly less at some other sites. I have asked Joe to lower the starting price to $8. It is still a rarity. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Celtaddict Date: 10 Dec 10 - 04:44 PM So many I have lost track of what I have bid on and what I have not; I could be in for surprises. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 11 Dec 10 - 10:59 PM Closing time is individual to the pieces. I set it at December 15 so that there would be time for people to get their items. I presume, as with eBay, that the closing time would be based upon the time each peice was entered into the auction. I will PM Joe and ask for clarification on this issue. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 12 Dec 10 - 11:44 AM According to Joe, my previous post is incorrect. Closing time is Midnight, Mudcat time on the 15th. Good bidding, everyone. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Susan of DT Date: 13 Dec 10 - 08:11 AM Thanx, that is what I figured. For those who don't know: Mudcat is on Eastern (USA) time. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 15 Dec 10 - 12:59 AM I just moved a few more into the 14 day frame. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 15 Dec 10 - 10:27 PM EBarnacle, Thank you for the effort you've put into making these wonderful music book auctions run smoothly- answering questions, making clarifications, etc. This was a special opportunity for me to have access to replacements for my own folk music collection. Maeve |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 15 Dec 10 - 10:35 PM Don't give up now. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Dec 10 - 12:02 AM The auction is now closed. Thank you all for participating. I will prepare a list and send it to my friend. I will also PM the winners with her e-mail. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Dec 10 - 12:04 AM Plese remember that postage is additional to the bids. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: JohnB Date: 16 Dec 10 - 12:23 AM I think a good time was had by all. That frantic bidding as the hour of twelve approached was interesting, I wanted too many books to keep track of them all. So I did the noble thing and let others fight over the more expensive ones. I hope I never know what I missed. Thanks for the opportunity to bid on such an extensive collection, I can't wait to figure out which one to read first. JohnB |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Dec 10 - 01:15 AM This is the most fun I've had in an auction, ever. And hey, I wond some things. I'm in the process of working up a table of the winners, and I'll post it in this message. Thanks, EBarnacle. -Joe- OK, I think this is a correct list of winners, but I ask you all to double-check this. I had to enter a lot of the data myself, and mistakes are quite possible.

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Dec 10 - 02:23 AM Thank you, Joe. I just finished doing the same thing to transcribe to a copy for Jennifer. Instead, I'll copy and paste yours and save a lot of work. There will be another auction in January with more of her stuff, including a couple of really nice dulcimers. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Dec 10 - 02:31 AM By the way, Joe, you did a better organizing job than I was planning to. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: nickp Date: 16 Dec 10 - 04:03 AM better make some more space on my bookshelves then! Nick |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Susan of DT Date: 16 Dec 10 - 06:49 AM Many of these books are available from Amazon, Alibris.com, and other used book sites for not a lot of money. Some are still in print and can be gotten new. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 16 Dec 10 - 08:23 AM Thank you to those who have made it possible for me to begin replacing a few of the music books we lost in the fire. It means a great deal. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Dec 10 - 12:37 PM Everyone is doing a really great job of contacting Jennifer. She is surprised at how international we are. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Jeri Date: 16 Dec 10 - 12:48 PM When I went to bed after midnight last night, I'd only won 2 items (even after refreshing!), although I bid on 6. This morning, I've found I got two others. Message sent to Jennifer a while ago. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Dec 10 - 01:25 PM I know, it's confusing. When I was compiling my list, I thought the same. However, when Joe compiled it via Excel, that's how it came out. This is one time I am inclined to believe the computer. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Dec 10 - 02:57 PM I double-checked the list, but please check your own purchases again to make sure you're the winner. I could have made a mistake, you know - but Jeri, I checked you again this morning, so I'm quite sure the chart is right for you. EBarnacle, how will we be notified about where to make payment? -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Dec 10 - 03:11 PM I believe I have PM's out to all the winners that I know of on how to contact Jennifer. If I missed you, please contact me. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Sarafelines Date: 16 Dec 10 - 03:43 PM My thanks to all of you who bid on my songbooks. Once I hear from you, I will try to get reply within 48 hours with the total cost including shipping. I would prefer checks, but will take PayPal if you are overseas or on a case by case basis. Please be sure include your Mudcat handle so I know what books you have won. Jennifer jlcaven@comcast.net |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 16 Dec 10 - 03:48 PM Welcome to Mudcat, Jennifer! Thanks for the great auction items. Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Dec 10 - 03:48 PM In addition, if you want the books sent anything other than by book rate, plese tell Jennifer. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: JohnB Date: 16 Dec 10 - 04:03 PM My list is correct too, as are the prices. If it wasn't for all those other people bidding, my list would have been even longer. Still not sure whether that was a good or a bad thing. Ah well! like Joe Said, that was a lot of fun. Maybe I should hold off shipping until January and just hire a Shipping Container :) JohnB. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: JohnB Date: 16 Dec 10 - 04:06 PM Almost forgot, Susan of the DT is correct, a lot of these books are available at other inet locations. They are however at many different booksellers and localities, if you look at the shipping costs you have saved by this method you are still way ahead. I also think these books have been well looked after. JohnB. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Dec 10 - 04:09 PM As with The Velveteen Rabbit, they have been loved. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Dec 10 - 04:10 PM John, now that you have a substantial songbook collection, I think we should name you an Official Mudcat Song Geek and put you to work posting lyrics..... |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Jeri Date: 16 Dec 10 - 04:40 PM Jennifer, I mentioned PayPal in my e-mail to you, but I have no problem with a check. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: JohnB Date: 16 Dec 10 - 11:25 PM It will go along with the other 6 to 10 feet or whatever that is here already. Heck it could have been a good 3 feet more if only! I have two friends with even bigger collections than mine, just trying to keep up. A few are for gifts too. JohnB |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 16 Dec 10 - 11:56 PM Jeri, send her an e-mail. Jennifer is not used to checking in regularly yet. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 18 Dec 10 - 07:37 AM Just keepin' it going until everyone has contacted Jennifer. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 18 Dec 10 - 08:01 AM I can hardly believe that we'll again have a little stack of music books of our own! I am grateful to those who have made that possible. Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 19 Dec 10 - 10:39 AM Several of you have still not gotten in touch with Jennifer. You know who you are. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Sarafelines Date: 21 Dec 10 - 11:33 AM For bidders in foreign countries: Your books will be shipped next week, as both post offices and UPS stores will be crazy between now and Christmas. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 22 Dec 10 - 10:27 AM Jennifer has been able to contact all but two bidders, who are located in the UK. Let's keep moving onward through the snowstorms. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Mary Katherine Date: 22 Dec 10 - 11:15 PM I sent an email to Jennifer the day I got the note that I had won a few items - but have not heard back from her - ?? Will send a followup email in case the first one went astray. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Mary Katherine Date: 26 Dec 10 - 09:13 AM Still have not heard back from her despite two emails. Everything OK? |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 26 Dec 10 - 05:32 PM I just spoke with Jennifer. Everyone who has purchased an item is in the process of being contacted. Mary Katherine, Jennifer says you may have fallen through the cracks and she will follow up immediately with you. Thank you all, it has been a fun auction. There will be a few new items next month including at least one REALLY desireable item. Maeve is looking at the dulcimers and, if she decides she wants them, will have preempted the postings on those. She also has arranged for a friend to receive the SingOuts that Jennifer wants to move. Should that fall through, they will be posted on a year by year basis in the auction. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Sarafelines Date: 26 Dec 10 - 05:37 PM Thanks to everyone who responded to this auction. I think I have replied to everyone.

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Jeri Date: 26 Dec 10 - 05:43 PM Our business is all wrapped except for the mailing. Jennifer said she would do it tomorrow, but I just e-mailed her to tell her there is no hurry. She's in the path of this storm, too. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Jeri Date: 26 Dec 10 - 05:50 PM ...Day late/dollar short. Or I'm retro-psychic. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: SINSULL Date: 26 Dec 10 - 05:51 PM I have been so frustrated not being able to bid. BUT annual bonuses get paid in January and I am going to get in on the next round. Great stuff! Mary |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Janie Date: 26 Dec 10 - 06:14 PM Got home from my trip to WV this evening to find my songbook in the mailbox. Thanks, Jennifer! |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Sarafelines Date: 02 Jan 11 - 06:54 PM Hey, folkies, I'm still waiting for payments from ten of you. You know who you are and what you owe. The sooner I get the payment, the sooner you get the books! |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: EBarnacle Date: 02 Jan 11 - 08:24 PM And the sooner the next auction begins. |
|
Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: JohnB Date: 02 Jan 11 - 10:45 PM The Money order IS in the mail :) JohnB |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: Jeri Date: 03 Jan 11 - 06:17 PM My books arrived today, in fabulous condition. Thanks, Jennifer! I hope you've heard from everyone. |

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff From: maeve Date: 05 Jan 11 - 03:00 PM I picked up my books from Jennifer this morning. I enjoyed meeting her. A heartfelt thank you to Jennifer for selling her books here on Mudcat, to EBarnacle for listing and running so many auctions at once, and to all of my benefactors who have given me hours of delight in these beautiful books.
