270059003061 E-bay Item #. In Min. They arn't mine I'm in So Cal. I put this on the Tech site, no one has seen it. Ooops maybe you shouldn't buy them. You may get fined for using their #'s
Starting bid is $2,500.00. Make them an offer they can't refuse. It depends on the ammount of patterns they have. If your close this may not be a bad deal. The shipping is going to be horrendous.
I have a set of NAGS patterns 30's-60's. They are in 2 big windshield crates. If I bought the ones on e-bay they would probably cost 2-3 hundred each to ship to me. It looks like the patterns for sale are the 2's and 4's from the 50's and 60's. Not worth the asking price(to me). E mail them and see what they have if your interested.
They're worth $1000 give or take. You never know how many are in poor condition, not to mention there are so many that no one will ever use.
We gave ours away in the late 1970's to Auto Glass Specialists for free, they just paid the freight. Probably 2+ crates worth from what I remember. I know a few people who have most of the complete sets back east. Just contemplating if we are going to do more of it in the future..
I can't see spending more than $1000-1200 tops for the patterns unless you are cutting flat glass daily..
