Widow selling husband's stock

My late husband built electric guitars. I am clearing his inventory of guitar bodies, necks, etc. doing this a little bit at a time. Grouping stuff together such as 3 bodies posting here and selling group as one unit. I cannot take questions about finishes, type of wood, etc. because I do not know the answers. I am asking $150 (includes shipping) for these 3 bodies in various stages of construction. Front and back pictures of 2 bodies. The raw wood body looks the same back and front.

First of all Faye, I would like to express my condolences for your loss. It has to be a very difficult time for you.
This is something every luthier like me who is getting on in age, thinks about to some degree. Leaving all the guitars and parts and tools for someone else to deal with. :(

I would take some of your items, but I am in the same situation.
If I were you, I would probably try Craigs List, and Ebay also.
I wish you success, and hope someone from this forum ends up with a couple of your pieces.
Those Tele bodies look like they are well done, with nice woods.

They look great. Worth every penny. It would be useful if you put in the approximate location (the state/region). I assume it is the USA as you have dollar pricing. Some members such as myself and Gordon are not in the US.

Thank you, Gordon and Simon. I appreciate your advice very much. I live about 30 miles north of New Orleans, Louisiana.
