    Fred, just a suggestion if I may? Since your price is already set, why not post them up on the 'For Sale/Wanted' board with a "No Trades" clause?
    You'll be able to sell them directly to site members while avoiding the ebay BS.

    Sorry to say I am no longer in the market for such things as $300 for that lot was a nice deal. However it might be easier on you.

      JB, I didn’t want to try to sell everything individually. There’s just too many items and it’d cost me a fortune to ship it all piece by piece.
      It’s a great haul and there’ll be lots of room for a buyer to make a good profit from it if they want to sell it.
      Maybe even double their money if they wanted to.
      I haven’t set a price in my mind yet because I’m a still looking for the Five WWI helmets that I want to add to the pile.
      Actually, one of them is an Excellent conditioned post WWI helmet that was the type worn by the men on Corregidor in 1942. It would go well with somebody’s 1903 Springfield.
      I’ll tell you what though, when I get the pile of stuff all together for photos, before I put it up on eBay, I’ll post a single picture of the lot here on this thread to let anyone who’ll be wondering about it know that it’ll be posted up on eBay shortly afterwards.
      I’m pricing the items at around 50% or less of what I’ve seen them actually go for.
      That Pistol Belt and 1917 Holster and Half Moon clip ammo pouch I’m pricing at around $150.00. However it isn’t being sold separately.

        I'm sure you could sell lots on the trader board, but it's just food for thought. By all means do whatever you are most comfortable with.
        I wouldn't recommend selling lots on a show table. I tried that with some smaller items surplus to my needs once before. People want to nitpick and separate as if it's a garage sale...and they will not leave you alone! Not worth the aggravation and the frustration that comes with it. Certainly when you know it's already priced to move, yet they want things for a dime.

              OK, I’ve posted my notice in the Militaria forum here of where I’m listing the WWI field gear I’m getting rid of.
