Im tasked with selling items from the Bowhunting museum
Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:04 am
Recently I became a member of the board of directors of the Wisconsin Bowhunting Heritage Foundation Museum. One of my tasks is helping the museum liquidate its duplicate and excess (non-Wisconsin significant) inventory.
First off, some info about the museum. Here is a link.
http://www.wisconsinbowhunters.org/museum
The Museum is Wisconsin-centric meaning we hope to collect and gather and display bowhunting items specific to and related to the history of bowhunting in Wisconsin. Over the years, donations of bowhunting items have accumulated and due to limited space, the museum is now sorting through its holdings and liquidating duplicate items and items donated that while are certainly a part of the history of bowhunting, are not specific to Wisconsin. Our space is very limited and our founds are based on donation.
A very complete history of all things bowhunting is maintained at the Pope and Young Museum in MN and we do work with them but they too have excess and duplicate items.
The WBHF museum has determined that online auctions are the best way to liquidate these items (due to such broad exposure) As such, the museum has set up an Ebay store. I listed the first 10 lots yesterday and will list more (because we have a new account, we have sellers limits so only 10 lots can be listed at a time. More lots are in the cue and will be listed as items are sold).
What is being sold is a mixed bag of bows (all types) arrows and other bowhunting accessories. You can see the lots at this link.
