FS: Large Collection of 88-note Piano Rolls
By Kim Bunker

Hi All,  Kim Bunker here from www.playerpianos.com  Because of our
28 years in this business of rebuilding, servicing and selling player
pianos, we started 17 years ago buying and selling player piano rolls.
In that time we have bought and sold over a million rolls of all types.

We are selling the last of our entire stock of 88-note rolls which
consists of 3757 rolls.  Some of these are very collectible, some are
even still new in their box.  Our normal selling price of them are from
$4.00 to $10.00 each.  Still in the library are some very interesting
titles and types from ragtime to classical.  A fair retail market value
for the whole collection is about $18,500.00, which includes many boxes
of roll repair parts (a small amount of spare roll boxes, both small
and large, over 250 unboxed rolls, spool ends, tabs, leaders, spools),
also quality rigid steel and wood shelf units 14" deep x 48" long x 6'
high, 4 shelves per unit, 6 units total.  There is enough here to set
up your own player roll shop.

Our ("make'm go away") offer is $7,514.00 total, which works out to
be less then $2.00 each.  This offer does not include shipping,
however, we do have good cheap shippers or you may pick them up and
we'll help you load it.  We will stand on this price until the
collection is _sold_, first come first serve.

Due to our overwhelming piano rebuilding business we have not
updated our roll inventory list for quite some time, however we do
have a list of titles and they range from Bach to rock), makers, roll
condition, composers/players, but it is not accurate as we have bought
and sold several thousand since then.

The reason we are liquidating all of our stock is our restoration
business is suffering financially, so our loss is your gain.  Our
offer of $7,514.00 is negotiable to serious inquiries only.  We will
not break up the collection.  _This offer is take all!_

I am sending this offer to you all before I put the collection up for
public sale to dealers & collectors across the world via eBay.  Contact
us ASAP via email <ocpiano@pacbell.net> or by phone at 1-714-432-7426
Thank you for your time.

Sincerely yours,
Kim Bunker
