Collection Go Byebye

Hey all,

I'm selling my bonsai collection (but for 3 pieces) and ask that anyone interested in the whole sh'bang or in specific species contact me off-list or with a PM. Thanks a bunch.

Wow. What brought this on Andy? I wish I could afford a few of your trees, I've admired what I've seen you post of your work. It must be hard to part ith the rest of your collection

Andy, it sounds like your life is taking a major change. All I can say is that I wish you the best. My guess is that I speak for alot of people in saying this.

Hey guys,

It's not that bad, I just have some financial need that I can address somewhat by doing this. I'm not leaving the endeavor or anything, just selling most of my collection. Surely in time I'll recover and will work on rebuilding things. For now, I'm just backing up and punting. ;-) Thanks for your concern, but it's just a temporary thing.

Kind regards,

I am really sorry to hear that you are selling most of your collection. I know it is a hard thing to do. I also know that you will do whatever it takes to make ends meet.
We may argue a bit on occasion but I do respect you. Most of the time you have your head screwed on right ;o)
Hope things all work out sooner than you expect them to.

Andy,

Sorry to hear about the need for a sell off. The trees and prices look attractive and I'm sure your trees will all find good homes.

Regards,

Matt

If I had a chance to get at your trees I would love that trident maple stump.

It's difficult to lose your collection but think of the joy that these trees will provide others. On the weekend just past I sold over 30 items, from bonsai pots, tree and books. I sold a few of my larger trees but was happy to see the excitement of people's faces as they walked away with them. Another lady purchased all of my japanese maple younger material and she was so happy in doing so. It is great seeing that happen.
