When the US collectors trade, we just assume shipping to each other is equal, so we don't bother charging it to each other.
As far as my sales go, someone asked me how he knows I am really helping others with the proceeds. Well, my positive feedback shows that I am truthful, as the buyer could always be asked where he sent money. Otherwise, I am fine with a buyer writing a money order to the Salvation Army, an excellent charity. But if I trade, then certainly I benefit. Chalk if the first billiard collectible antique item I ever found....although I didn't consider myself a chalk collector, my collection grew so much that I have to consider myself that. So I have been spending more on the super-rare stuff lately, as it can only enhance my collection. I shouldn't sell the rare stuff, or I won't have anything to trade. So I keep one extra of many chalks.

I made a friend here in AZB. He's the only chalk collector friend I have in the US and he has helped me alot in adding on to some of my collections. The last time I sent him, I had him pay just shipping fees from my side over to him. It got rejected at first and I resent it again.

Never charge him anything for the chalks but just shipping fees. Of course I'll only do it for him. :D
 
This is the only cube I haven't seen in this thread. It was used at the IPT Orlando event in 2005.

chalk display

Most of the collectors do the same thing, get an old printer's block drawer from an antique store....they are common and easy to find, and the cubby holes are usually just right. I am actually about to make my own, same idea, which I will then build into an in-wall lighted shadow box. It will take a lot of work. I will separate out the old and rare chalks for this....and put the rest in the printer's drawer.
 
Sale on chalk collection

Until Saturday, I am dropping the price of the 25-piece collection to $200. Anyone interested? Proceeds go to needy person who is starting a business so she can get off food stamps and welfare. That helps all of us, except Obamapals and commies.

Googled and saw the pictures. I store them in a zip lock bag and place them in an acrylic box.

The printer tray wouldn't be hard to do but yeah, it'll take a hell lot of time. I guess its because of the measurements.

Hunger strike, please change the settings on your camera. All of the pictures are blurry in the foreground. You should be able to get it to catch the detail of the chalk, and blur the background with some adjustments. You have a lot of really cool pieces, but it would be nice to do them justice with better pictures!
 
Red NTC

The red cased NTC is rare, I have a few extras but have to locate them. Wanna make me an offer on three of em? Btw thanks for the pos feedback. Does anyone know how to return feedback from an iPhone? Sorry about photos...had 7 cameras lost or stolen before I gave up and just used phone camera...
 
Vintage chalk in case

The chalk was molded into the case. Very different from any other chalk ever made...other chalk casings were containers, this acted as the mold and container
