I have collected and used Lie-Nielsen tools and other vintage collectible hand tools for long time. Now, its time for downsizing my shop and quantity of tools in it. Some of you have been around here long enough to recall my selling of nice vintage tools here in 2017. Please PM me if you are interested in exceptionally nice LN or vintage hand tools. Thanks.

Unfortunately not AZ. I'm getting some advise about the shipping question.

You would get more interest if you listed what you had for sale and at least the state you live in.
If you aren't going to ship, you would probably have better luck on a local site like Facebook marketplace.

I appreciate the feedback. I'm working on being able to ship and will post the items when ready. Thanks to all of the posters here who have responded.

Hi Mike,
Glad to hear that the reason for selling is one that will eventually affect all of us who are fortunate as we age.
That said, some of the newer members may be wondering why the mods are not enforcing the SnS rules on this thread. We remember your quality offerings here in the past and are willing to cut you some slack while you sort things out.
That said, multiple people have pointed out that a rough geographic location is expected for anyone who has challenges shipping. Your general location is not included in your profile. Many of us have found ways to arrange stops on our travels to meet up with WN sellers or found a pony express option. We cannot consider that without a rough idea of the sellers location.
best wishes,
Ivan

Thank you, Ivan, for your consideration and access to posters here. I hope to proceed through the normal sales channel, now that I have received guidance from both familiar and new (to me) members. Having both sold and bought a significant amount of items here in the past, I plan to bring some exceptional items to sell; either through direct sales or by secure shipment to the buyers. Are those alternatives Ok? As for my location, I'm accessible to I-65 in central Indiana. I would welcome visitors, if you contact me here by PM, if that is allowed by forum rules.
Regards,
Mike

Mike,
Thank you. That should be fine.
Arranging shop visits via PMs is always acceptable. I have been fortunate to make a few of those visits myself.
You are too far away for me to visit right now, but I look forward to putting my keyboard at risk (from drool) when you start posting pics. If I am really lucky, you might be shipping some stuff to VA.
best,
Ivan
