Default Large Paper Wasp Nest on branch FS
I have a large paper wasp (Bald Faced) nest that I collected this fall. It is listed on ebay. Don't be concerned with the asking price. If you need it, we can work out a good price for both of us.

Here is a couple of pictures:





Here is the link with all the details:

Check out my other stuff listed. I will work with Net 54 members.

Thanks.

Jim,
I guess you learn something new everyday! I went on ebay and looked up paper wasps nests and to my astonishment there were about 20 nests listed and in sold listings there were about 25 more!! I guess to me I would have to use my P.T. Barnum theory here. LOL

Graded - Yeah, some wear on the "corners", but still very gradable.

Strangest - Thank you. It said everything else. And I don't have any marbles.

Ebay - Yeah, there is a market for these. I'm surprised too. And you can see, this is a good price based on sales.

Haha! I have it on ebay on thought I'd throw it on here too. If someone needs/wants it, let me know. We can work something out.

Thanks for looking.

-Jimmy

I think you posted on the wrong forum.

Probably would get more takers on nest54.

I know it is hard to believe, but this is still available.

Bump so the right person can see it.

Price reduced. Ready to move it and go on to other things. If you want/need it, then make an offer. Easy to work with. Net 54 folks are treated better than others.
