Puzzles for Sale 2023
Our 2023 Fall Sale ended November 12, 2023. All puzzles were sold with most going by overbids. Many new bidders joined in and won puzzles. Since then, I have been working on puzzles for sale later in 2024. I am definitely slowing up (age 88) and taking longer. Two of my sons, Conrad and Lincoln, have been helping and Lisa Lee, in my opinion the best restorer in America, has been helping me restore some puzzles. I hope to have enough to release for sale sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Future updates will appear here. When ready, everyone who has received a sale notice in past sales, or signed up since my last sale, will receive a notice and can participate. The sale is really an auction through my website lasting about a week with high bidders at the close on the last day winning the puzzles. No puzzles are "won" until the close. And all bidding is by email which preserves a record for us to check after the close. If you should telephone in some bids, I will still want you to email them in (
, or
). In the event of tie bids, the dates on the emails determine the winner with the earlier date prevailing.
Regardless of how you learned of our sale, you can participate in future sales through this website page, using email to place bids. We also urge you to read the "About the 2023 Sale and Instructions" to get a feel of how the sale works. We welcome all serious bidders from around the world (although it is more expensive for a foreign buyer because of currency exchange, PayPal charges, insurance and overseas shipment).
