Hi,

Doing a little further cleaning out of the closets and am selling an set of slate and shell stones that I rarely used, along with chestnut Go bowls. Both stones and bowls are in excellent condition - bidding starts at $125.

Thanks for looking.

Some advice to help you with the sale.

1. Mention the grade (Standard, Moon or Snow) that will help people and possibly boost sales if they're moon or snow since (Well priced snow is in especially high demand).

2. If you have a small flashlight, take a few of the stones and put them on the lens, this will likely show the grain unless it's a weak light. Close-up grain photos are very appealing and will help the auction stand out.

Good luck selling them :)

All good advice Erythen. To your points:

1) I do not remember the grade of the stones when they were purchased. While there is rough guidance online for assigning grades, I would rather not try to assign a certain grade and then have hell brake loose when I am later proven to be wrong.

2) Unfortunately, my camera has a problem and we have not yet sent the lens in to be fixed. In some ways I am amazed I got the pics I did.

Anyone in the DC area can message me and come see the stones in person. Thanks.
