Re: Raising money for vendors



Dear fellow list members:
 
I have great respect for Mr. Mattox's numismatic expertise, and have never heard ill of him as a vendor.  But I consider the attached advertisement to be an inappropriate use of this list.  Equally, I consider his advice to sell off the collection in order to "raise funds" to be unethical.

Subject: Raising money for archives

Here are some ideas for raising money:
 
*Sell duplicate items:
   Coins
   Currency
   Autographs
   Paper ephemera
 
*Sell items that do not fit the collection:
   Envelopes(covers)
   Stamps
 
*Sell items of little research value:
   Coins
   Stocks
   Bonds
.  Currency
 
If you would like to talk about how I help archivists raise money, please contact me.
