WELCOME TO GYPSY'S JUNQUE (pronounced Junk, but better!)!!!!

My family & I are gearing up for a major move! This summer we will be moving to Florida (from St. Louis)! In preparation for this, in addition to listing on eBay, I have rented a space in one of Panama City, FL antique malls! So, if you are ever on vacation in Panama City/Panama City Beach stop by “Olde Towne Antique Mall” @ 437 Harrison Ave, in Panama City’s historic district! There are 2 floors and a lower level (the building was originally a JCPenney’s!) of antiques, collectibles & vintage clothing!

My guys & me at Mardi Gras in St. Lou!

So here is a little info about me. I am a long time collector and seller of vintage and retro clothing and accessories. I am also a "pack rat" from way back! I love to "treasure hunt"! My Mom and my 3 Aunts started my "addiction" when I was about 5. They took me to my first garage sale! That was all it took! I was hooked! Other peoples stuff was cool! Especially the clothes! I loved (and still do!) having clothes no one else is wearing or can find!!

Okay, I'm going to be dating myself here, but I've been garage and estate saling for over 35 years! I am always looking for interesting clothing and collectibles. I have gotten worse with age!! Over the years I discovered auctions too! (Even worse my Dad became an estate auctioneer for a while!) I love 'em all!

When I was in my mid 20’s I answered an ad in the classifieds for a "vintage clothing picker" at a rag factory. I really loved that job! I learned A LOT about vintage clothing there! I thought it would be cool if I had my own vintage clothing shop! (It was called "Gypsy's Junque". My husband thought of the name! That's me! :) So, with my Mom, who had been an antique dealer for quite a few years, we opened a vintage and antique shop. We had it for almost 10 years! We also did "dress up" parties for kids and adults there too. And eventually added a cafe, but that’s a whole other story!!

So, I just love clothes, vintage & new! I try to find unique fashions to put up for auction and in my store. I like gypsy-chic clothes, but I also like old fashioned girlie things, still yet, I like fashions that are a little vixenish! So, you'll find a lot of items that fit in those categories are what I sell! That is what is so great about modern fashion trends; anything goes, old or new! So, be unique, don't be a sheep & dress to fit your mood!

I have been selling vintage on eBay for 5 years. It is the perfect job for me! It gives me the flexibility to be a "stay at home/work at home mom" (family is priority #1)! It is fun and I have "met" some great people along the way! I plan on eBaying for as long as I can!

Gypsy's Junque on eBay is vintage clothing, vintage inspired items, costuming, accessories & sewing items from the 1900’s through the present for women, men and children. I specialize in fashions from the 50's through the 80's. I have recently started selling 90's to present, new and gently worn evening/party dresses. Vintage sewing items, patterns & collectibles will also be offered. Please look in my "Vintage Inspired & Reenactments" category, in my eBay store, for your costuming, reenactment and production needs!

Rules of the House I am easy to do business with, but I do have a few policies and procedures that I follow. I want your eBay experience with me to be a positive one! Customer service is very important! First and foremost, I will strive to do my best to provide courteous, professional and prompt service. I try to treat you the way I want to be treated- with respect. I hope you will be pleased with your purchase and will check out my "junque" again! Happy eBaying to you!

One last, quick note. I will do my best to thoroughly look over each vintage piece that I list for any flaws. If I do miss something, it is not intentional! Vintage clothing is similar to people, the older we each get, the more character we get! Most vintage items I sell are in very good to excellent condition. Occasionally I do list an item that may need a little TLC. Many of these items are perfect for costuming needs. I don't think less than perfect items should be trashed. Especially if they are unique, and have possibilities. I will note all flaws and the price will reflect the quality.

Items that can be laundered, I will wash. Items that need dry cleaning, I will leave up to the buyer. I will also note that in the listing. (If I dry cleaned the item, then I would have to pass that expense on to the buyer in the starting price.)

Lastly, if you have any questions about anything on my "ME" page or about vintage, please feel free to email me! Happy treasure hunting!!!

Below is the rating system I use in my listings. I rate each item with this number scale. This scale is on each listing for reference. SCALE EXPLANATION OF RATING 5= new or mint 4= gently worn, near new 3= very wearable but previously worn 2= flawed, but useful for costume, study or sewing use 1= belongs in the rag bag and has no resale value!


To protect bidder privacy, when the price or highest bid on an item reaches or exceeds a certain level, User IDs will be displayed as anonymous names. For auction items, a bold price means at least one bid has been received.
