I appreciate the update and wish her the best in whatever direction the collection goes in, I do look forward to seeing the new photos as well!

Hi,

This has ended up being a lot more work and time than I anticipated. I am hoping to start getting back to the emailed requests with offers soon. I will be starting at the oldest and work forward. I appreciate your understanding and patience. This has turned out to be quite a process and I understand why families decide to send to auction. I'd prefer to offer them privately as much as possible. This honors my father, his collecting, research, authorship, and forming of this community. It also honors my mother who put so much time into editing and helping my father write his books.

I am matching the guns with holsters and accessories as photographed in my father's books. I think he would want them to go together as much as possible.

I asked Ed to take the list down because I have realized it will be easier for me to match, photograph, and then post rather than take orders. I will post here on the forum about how I am going to proceed well before I start.

I am enjoying remembering my father this way, and hope to share that. Thanks for all the help, this community is so much more than I had realized.

Thanks for the update, Kathy!
We all appreciate your dillegence and dedication!

Well, so much for asking early and being patient...

Yeah. I reached out very nicely and respectfully and heard nothing. No complaint. I am sure she is overwhelmed and she also only gets one shot at doing it right for her family. I guess I will keep an eye out for the website. Hopefully we get the heads up here when it goes live.

Did you email? What is your address?

 

[Kathy Still]

Anyone that emailed me at stillslugers@gmail.com and did not receive any reply, let me know here, with your email address. I will check if I received an email from you. I've tried to at least reply once, some have been autoreplies, as it's been challenging to keep up.

Hi Kathy, Thank so so much for the update. Look forward to seeing it evolve and can't tell you how much this means to our collecting faternity.

Hello Kathy. I just forwarded my string of emails to you. Look forward to discussing with you.

Hi,

I just want to let everyone know I am working on a website to sell my father's collection on. It will be thejanstillcollection.com. Hoping to have it up and running Jan. 7. I'll update as it gets closer.

Hi Kathy,

Are you still planning to contact the old emailed requests with offers (before launching the website)?

Merry Christmas and many thanks to you.

Yes, I am curious about that too.

It sounds like it might be a bit of a free for all which would be unfortunate given that some expressed interest some time ago.

 

[Kathy Still]

Emailing each person an option to buy isn't a very efficient way to do this. It was probably a mistake to start out that way. The website will give you detailed photos of each gun and prices, so you will be better able to choose which you are interested in. Not all of the guns will go up right away, so keep checking back if you don't see what you are looking for. I've only sold a few so far, most are still available. I will try to post a list of the guns already sold either here or on the website.
A few will end up at rock island, the ones that I am having the hardest time pricing, as well as any that don't sell in a reasonable amount of time. I haven't decided yet for sure on which will go to auction, so no need to ask.
Looking forward to the launch on Jan. 7

Kathy Still

Thank you for the time and effort you are devoting to this. Jim

 

[EdD]

So rather a free for all.

 

[Artguy]

Thank you Kathy for the opportunity and for all your hard work. What will the name of the website be?

thejanstillcollection.com is what Kathy said it will be. disappointing she decided to abandon the emails. But ultimately it's hers to decide how best to sell.

I am trying to get my website up and running so we can go head to head, toe to toe. Exciting times in the collecting world.

 

[OldInterests]

I too was disappointed after waiting four months (and passing on two highly coveted guns for my collection) with the belief that I was going to have an email opportunity to buy from Jan's collection. Hoping that I still get the one from the Still collection but now afraid may get shutout all around.

However, I understand that the Still family has never done anything like this before, that it's a monumental process and they are doing the best that they can for all involved. So, I wish them nothing but the very best for the new year and beyond.

Happy New Year to all of the fellow collectors and enthusiasts out there the world over.

Cheers!
