Time to sell

Post by Yorky »

After unsuccessfully trying to post on the classifieds as it says that it doesn't recognise my account I thought that I would put it on here if it's allowed. Over the coming months I will be selling off the vast majority of my extensive collection. A lot of it will be going on ebay but if any members have anything that they require then send me a PM.

I have amassed over the years specimens from all over the world, mainly Papilionidae and Nymphalidae, some of these are now impossible to obtain or hardly ever for sale. If you have a preference drop me a message and I'll do my best to accommodate, please note that only non CITES specimens are for sale.

How should we contact you? I would be interested in some satyridae depending on your holdings.

Not much in the way of satyridae it's almost exclusively European, you can email me at ellie5053@hotmail.co.uk or send me a PM on here.

I am sorry to see you letting go of most of your collection. You have some fantastic specimens. Good luck. I hope they find a good home.

Many thanks. I'm not selling everything, just getting it to a size that I can manage with my infirmities and working full time, it will take serious persuasion to get me to part with the stuff from Meek, Fruhstorfer, Pratt, Leech, Doherty etc but I'm open to offers.

I hear you! I'm 90% done with moving the entire collection out of the room, bringing new cabinets up, then moving all the drawers back. And I'm still over-stocked. Good luck on your reduction, if you learn any quick tips, I'm all ears!

First up for the chop will be these, papilio lampsacus, hebomoia leucippe detanni charaxes fournierae female and the super rare cethosia cydippe antoni. I will sell the high end stuff first, the rest later but I underestimated the size of the task.
