Stress

Well, things haven't been getting posted for sale like I'd like them to be.  It's been very stressful here.  One of my mom's brothers is in ICU out in California and we have hope that he's going to pull through this but all of her siblings are in different states and she's the one he gave power of attorney to so...  I will hold off on posting any more of the microscopes or objectives for right now because I'm going to Arkansas for a few days with some friends to try mining for diamonds, lol.  With luck I'll come back refreshed and ready to post more microscope parts.  Thanks again to everyone who has helped out.  I very much appreciate it.

Update on the Biological Microscope

The biological microscope listed here:  http://twelveofeight.blogspot.com/2016/02/biological-microscope.html will be listed on my mom's eBay account on Monday.  I'm going to sell it as is, listing it as non-working but I don't actually know for sure that it doesn't.  Dad had it stuck in his workshop for parts but it looks to me like most of the parts are there.  If you have any need of a microscope like this I suggest you jump on it when I list it.

Revisions

As most of you know I am not an expert with microscopes.  I have attempted to list things for what they seem to be selling for but I have also listed stuff with an Or Best Offer option.  I have revised the prices of some of the items and PLEASE make an offer if you want something.  I can't be perfect, but mom really would like to sell the objectives and microscopes and  I'm doing my best but apparently I'm just not that great a salesperson.  Share this link with anyone who might be looking for microscope equipment.  The ebay user is mholloway72 and any help anyone can give by sharing this is very much appreciated.  Thank you!

Vintage Zeiss

Well, we sold the vintage Zeiss.  Mom didn't get quite what it was worth, but it's a start.  We have plenty of loose objectives that will be on sale on eBay.  All the objectives and the other microscopes will be listed at a price with an Or Best Offer option.  Please, make an offer.  Mom will be relieved once this stuff starts really selling.  Thanks to everyone.

Zeiss

I got the Zeiss Winkel listed on eBay for mom today.  Here are the photos I posted with it.

The objectives are all the Zeiss Winkel brand.  There's two eyepieces on the microscope that are 12.5x, plus a 12.5x and an 8x for the monocular head.  Any comments?

Ebay Update

I've started listing the objective lenses on eBay for my mom.  Her profile is mholloway72.  Since my mom isn't very computer literate, I've got to do it for her.  All the money from the sales will go directly to her. Thank you to everyone who helps and spreads the word.

Ebay Account

I set up an Ebay account for my mom.  I'll be managing it and listing the items for her since she's not very computer savvy.  I'm starting with the objective lenses tomorrow.  The ID the listings will be under is mholloway72.  It will take some time to list everything but I'm going to work steadily at it.  Please share any listings that show up with people that might be needing the piece I'm selling for mom.  Any and all help is appreciated.
