Thanks for stopping in!  I hope you find something in my auctions that interests you!  I'm a long-time eBay fan!

I've got a BUNCH of stuff I no longer need or want, so hopefully someone will find a few things they can use in my 'Precious Parcels' offered for bid.  It's good stuff, too good to throw out (I'm a pack rat, I never throw out anything!), but no longer a treasure to me.

I've just recently begun selling on consignment for folks who don't have the time, the gumption, nor the know-how to mess with the auction scene.  I LOVE it, it's like playtime for me, so...solution meets problem...and we all win!  Buyers get exceptional items from people that would not ordinarily offer them for bid.  Works for me! 

Now for the important stuff...

I believe in fair trade and business practices.  I will not sell an item that is known to be defective.  IF there is a problem with any of my items, the concern will be CLEARLY identified in the item description at time of auction.  The listing price will reflect any concern on my part regarding any item.  (e.g.  If a 14K gold diamond ring equaling a half carat t.w. is offered for $50.00, the picture and item description will DEFINITELY show that the ring is missing one stone and will be sold 'as is' with the one stone missing)  Obviously a 'defective' item, but that's why the price is so low.  If you have questions about any of my items, please ask BEFORE bidding to save any misunderstandings after the auction has ended and payment is expected.

I WILL abide by all eBay rules governing transactions, please do not ask me to do otherwise.  I respect buyers/sellers opinions as well as I expect them to respect mine.  Sometimes you just have to agree to disagree in a specific transaction.  Although all my auctions are offered 'as is' with no returns or refunds, I am not above making concessions to this rule when extenuating circumstances arise.  However, I retain the option to refuse any refund or return of sold items.

I request payment within seven (7) days of auction end.  I'm the Master when it comes to "oops!"...let me know if there's a problem with payment and we will work it out somehow.  I do not want to spend my days in conflict resolution.  If necessary, I will employ the eBay website to act on my behalf.  I prefer to work conflicts out with my buyers/sellers on our own terms where we can both win. 

If you have a problem or concern, please contact me immediately, whether you are the buyer or the seller.  I'm confident we can come to some agreeable terms.  My feedback is very important to me.  I leave feedback on EVERY transaction and ask that you do the same for me.  My feedback is my reputation here and I do everything within my power to maintain a good one!

My preferred method of shipping is the United States Postal Service, for many reasons.  The most important is that I live in a small rural area where other shipping options are not available to me unless I drive several miles.  I have had excellent service from the USPS in the past when I was shipping collector pieces whose handling was VERY important.  Please don't misunderstand me, every item I prepare for shipping is important to me and I will exercise the utmost care to insure that your item reaches you safely and without damage.  However, I can only go so far with the item before I place it in someone else's hands.  Hence my preference for the USPS.  If you absolutely do not want to use this shipping method, let me know, I'll check prices for you, and handling charges on my end will be applied.

I appreciate your taking the time to peruse this information.  If you have any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me through eBay channels.

Thanks for your bid'ness!
