How to move a LOT of handle blocks

[Greenberg Woods]

Hey Guys, I have been sorting through my stock and I have a LOT of handle blocks. Between moving back and forth between college and home, I have some 300-500 blocks of perfectly usable handle material "Kingwood, cocobolo, stabilized walnut, maple, Ironwood, so on and so forth" That I have no reasonable way to sell. It would be far too time consuming to sell piece by piece on my site. I was considering either unselected "IE you buy a number of a spieces" Or even selling them by the pound "Pounds of ready milled handle blocks"


Anyone have any ideas?

Sell sight unseen by species?
Set a minimum of 5 pieces or somesuch?

Mix and match. $ for 5 blocks. $$ for 10 blocks. $$$ for 20 blocks.

This. Maybe multiple price scales for grades of figure.

Otherwise 15-20 blocks in a photo, price per batch.

Fill medium flat rate boxes. Come up with a price for each full box. Sell them by the box load.
Make it an offer they can't refuse.

Just packed up 4 boxes brimming with blocks of wood. 30-40 blocks per box, Ill be listing them tomorrow. These are pretty amazing boxes.

So was this a question or an advertising post?

It was question. I didnt know if people would want to pick a specific number "Give me 5 of X, 2 of Y and 4 of Z" or if just buying a large box full of stuff would be ok.

Dealers, knifemakers, and service providers are allowed to ask marketing questions and introduce new products or special sales in Shop Talk ( part of what they get for their membership level). They are not allowed to take orders or talk much about prices. Al that is to be done in The Exchange.
