I am the father of 2 sons...I'm 65...soon to be 66 years old on March 22,2009 and have a dog named Heidi and a cat named "Boo".....I had to retire due to VERY SEVERE ill health and I find retirement a real bummer but I didn't have a choice...I spent most of my working life as a salesman and the last 10 years of my life as a owner/operator tractor trailer driver.....you will more than likely find me a bid long winded but I do have a few things I wish to share with you in regards the way I deal with people and the way I fully expect to be delt with....and if you find typing or spelling errors try to over look my mistakes because I am writing as I am thinking as to what to say.....Soooooo Here we go.....BUT before I get started...I'M NOT A DEALER OF ANYKIND...SINCE I WAS FORCED TO RETIRE DUE TO SOME VERY SEVERE HEALTH PROBLEMS I DO THIS MORE OR LESS AS A HOBBY....I'M NOT RICH BY ANY MEANS BUT BETWEEN WORKING OUT AT THE WELLNESS CENTER AT THE LOCAL HOSPITAL COMPLEX 3 TO 4 TIMES A WEEK AND DOING THIS IT KEEPS ME OUT OF THE POOL HALL.....I want to add on something that I think is really important ...SHOULD YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT I HAVE FOR SALE AND YOU REALLY WANT IT CONTACT ME AND I WILL MOST LIKELY LET YOU HAVE THE ITEM AT A PRICE THAT YOU CAN AFFORD...MONEY IS NOT MY GOD....I DEFINATELY WILL NOT CHEAT eBay out of a dime but it will make you happy and me as well...this is not my income....although it is a rather expensive hobby....and since both my wife and I are now retired she has decided that there are a WHOLE LOT of things that need to go and I have a whole lot of you name it and I have it....so NEVER hold back asking me to make you a deal if YOU REALLY WANT THE ITEM AND WILL USE IT....I get my pay back by THE FEEDBACK I GET....HONEST..AND PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR SOUNDING SO HARSH AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PAGE BUT I DO FIND IT VERY IMPORTANT TO GET THIS ONE POINT MADE AND THEN BE MORE PLEASANT..AND NOW HERE WE GO......

MY CODE OF ETHICS:

ALL OF MY LIFE I HAVE DELT WITH THE PUBLIC IN SOME MANNER AND I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED MY BEST TO BE HONEST...IT MAY SOUND CORNY BUT IT'S A FACT...I DO MY BEST TO BE HONEST AND TRUTHFUL WITH WHO EVER I DEAL WITH NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION...THAT'S THE WAY I WAS BROUGHT UP AND THE WAY I BELIEVE...WHEN I LIST SOMETHING ON THIS SIGHT I NORMALLY KNOW THE BACKGROUND OF THE ITEM BECAUSE I OR ONE OF MY FAMILY HAVE MADE THE PURCHASE OF THE ITEM...I DON'T WISH TO SELL YOU SOMETHING THAT I WOULDN'T BUY MYSELF...IT'S JUST NOT FAIR...AND I HAVE HAD PEOPLE THAT HAVE LIED TO ME AND SAID THEY DIDN'T RECEIVE A ITEM OR THE ITEM WASN'T IN GOOD CONDITION....VERY SELDOM BUT IT HAS HAPPENED...I KNOW OF ONE OCCOSSION WHEN A PERSON TOLD ME THAT THEY HADN'T RECEIVED THE ITEM THAT THEY HAD BOUGHT AND DEMANDED A FULL REFUND...FACT OF THE MATTER WAS I HAD A DELIVERY CONFORMATION FROM THE POST OFFICE TELLING ME EXACTLY WHEN THE ITEM WAS DELIVERED...THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WAS QUITE SMALL AND JUST TO SEE HOW HONEST THIS PERSON WAS I REFUNDED THE MONEY AND TOLD THE PERSON TO KEEP THE ITEM WHEN IT DID FINALLY ARRIVE....I WAS NEVER PAID FOR THE ITEM BUT A BIT LATER THE SAME PERSON WISHED TO BID ON ANOTHER ITEM I HAD FOR SALE AND I WOULDN'T LET THEM....THEY HURT THEMSELVES MORE THAN THEY HURT ME....BECAUSE I DEFINATLEY AM NOT MONEY HUNGRY...MONEY I DO BELIEVE IT THE CAUSE OF A LOT OF GRIEF EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT A RICH PERSON...AND YET I WILL NOT LET MONEY BE MY GOD ..I WILL TREAT YOU FAIRLY BUT I'VE BEEN AROUND TOO LONG TO BE FOOLED TOO MANY TIMES...JUST BE HONEST WITH ME ..THAT'S ALL I ASK OF ANYONE THAT DEALS WITH ME....THIS IS NOT MY BUSINESS THAT I MAKE A LIVING OFF OF NOR IS IT REALLY A SOURCE OF INCOME THAT I MAKE A LOT OF EXTRA INCOME OFF ...IT TRULY IS SOMETHING THAT I REALLY DO MORE OR LESS AS A HOBBY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN SEVERLY ILL FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND THIS DOES GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO...AND I LOVE SOME YARD SALES BUT I HATE HAVING A YARD SALE AND SO THIS GIVES ME A WAY OF DISPOSING OF A LOT OF THINGS THAT MY WIFE AND I HAVE ACCUMULATED OVER THE YEARS...AND BELIEVE ME I HAVE A LOAD OF YOU NAME IT....

THERE IS ANOTHER SPOT THAT I WISH TO TOUCH ON AND THAT IS ON THE POSTAL END OF DEALING WITH PEOPLE...I DON'T CHARGE HANDLING CHARGES AND I DON'T INFLATE THE CHARGE OF POSTAGE IN ORDER TO MAKE A LITTLE MORE ON ITEMS...I DON'T LIKE IT HAPPENING TO ME AND I IN TURN DON'T DO IT....AND ONCE I MAIL A ITEM IT IS IN THE HANDS OF THE POSTAL SERVICE AND I JUST CAN'T DO MUCH OF ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS THERE...I'VE SEEN THINGS THAT SHOULD TAKE A WEEK TO GET TO IT'S DESTINATION GET THERE IN A MATTER OF A COUPLE OF DAYS AND VISA VERSA...BUT THIS IS THE ONLY POSTAL SYSTEM WE HAVE.....NOTE..I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ITEM THAT IS LOST IN THE MAIL...I WILL INSURE ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING THAT IS MAILED WITHIN THESE UNITED STATES...IF IT ISN'T INSURED AND GETS LOST I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND WILL NOT BE....I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT BUT THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS...I'M SORRY....

I'VE MET A LOT OF REALLY FANTASTIC PEOPLE ON EBAY AND HAVE DEVELOPED FRIENDSHIPS WITH THEM EVEN THOUGHT I UNDOUBTLY WILL NEVER MEET THEM IN THIS LIFE AND I DO APPRECIATE THESE PEOPLE AND VALUE THEM....
