Welcome, We're Glad To Meet You!
We are Richard and Donna,
At first, we listed and sold items that were no longer useful, or we just never used them anymore, or ever.

My overwhelming collection of shoes, mostly never worn, sat in my closet, because I was unable to wear them, due to a serious ankle injury, and 7 surgeries I new I would never be able to wear them ever. We listed and sold them.

Than, I looked in the storage closet and saw my massive collection of original video tapes, boxed up from a recent move, was just sitting there, being useless to us, we decided that the best way to narrow the collection was to list and sell them.

Than, one day, we had stopped at a garage sale. The prices were incredible. He looked at me, I looked at him, gosh, we both knew what was on the other ones mind. That is when we realized that we had caught the eBay sellers bug.

Through out the years we have bought many nice, useful items, almost 1000 transactions have been made to this point, we never thought we'd be what we are today. Opening an eBay store, and Listing! It seemed like the best way to offer everything at more than fair starting and instant purchase pricing.

We than become Trading Assistants and we have listed and sold some estate items that a couple just didn't know where there was a market for some of thier loved ones items, I was amazed at the support we received. We now do more than we ever dreamed of through eBay, which is a real blessing.

We really enjoy living life. Maybe, we are crazy, but we love to find neat items and sell them. Meeting people all over the world since we sell worldwide. The benefits of eMailing people all over the world, with different cultures, different needs, and sharing each others world is marvelous and educational educational experience. Especially since I found an on-line Picture Language Card guide to communicate with other people who barely know English. Briefly coming into someone life, is a blessing, and sharing and helping others find things that they care about and treasure, can't have much else that makes us much happier.

If ever there is a problem with an item, we do our best to take care of it. This is a rare situation. We just really feel terrible when an item is sent in great condition, and from the post office to you, something happens, that is why we always, no matter what, offer insurance through the carrier. It helps eleviate questions, or responsibility to a seller. We feel that if the item is going to be treasured as much as we hope it will be, that insurance should probably purchased. Product problems like this rarely happen. I won't tell you a tale, it happens, and we have worked with the buyer when we are told about it. We ask that no feedback be left, before discussing a problem with us. It restores faith in each other. And a stronger bond to return to the buyer or seller items in the future.

We always go back to our buyers, should they have listed something that we want or need, we do bid, and often win their item.. Making it a open policy to support those who support you.

We hope that you will bookmark us, and visit often. You are always welcome @

RICH AND DONNAS' HID AWAY TREASURE,
When we originally decided to list items as a registered TRADING ASSISTANT. Estate jewelry was sold. for a family friend. My Sister had me sell some vintage travel treasures they had collected and no longer needed or wanted to display. We sold items for a family as an unannounced needy sale, so she would have new clothes for her children for school. And the list goes on.

We really are just beginning to open our doors with quality finds that everyone will cherish, love and treasure. Such as some Department 56 Items, a wonderful 1904 book in great condition, Hulls pottery matching vases that were auctioned and won at extremely reasonable prices.

You are wondering how do we handle our products? After we have a great day going to all the sales and places that we find these treasures at, we visually inspect each item, we check for safety, completeness, and how the item works. Battery items are tested, Items are plugged in and checked. If an item is not good enough for me to bring into my home, for my personal use, It is trashed. We clean each item..If, we can't clean it, and it is not useable, suitable, or collectible, It is trashed in most cases. Rarely, do we continue with that item, unless it is a historical or a vintage item that someone with skill can do something with. We always, tell you in the listing that this needs and you are given a fairly accurate description regarding the item.

From there, it is brought in for picture processing. Another visual is done, and if we find something that is not suitable, it is tossed out. Pictures are taken, and downloaded to the computer, We take the pictures, add pertinent information, and process for web browsing.

When listing, we take measurement, colors and so forth for the listing. You are saying, Hey, why handle the item again? The more we check out an item, the more chance of catching a defect, and the better the desctiption will be. Better for you, Less head-aches for us.

We do more than list an item, we do research on many of the items, especially if the history or type of item warrants us to do so. I am still searching for information on an item that I am just sitting back wondering how this works, who used it, and how old it it. Until we find this out, I have to hold listing for a little longer.

Why did you name your eBay store what you did? Well, we found a lot of the items in the beginning in our own home, hidden away in closets, and boxes that we hadn't used or viewed in some time. Hidden away from our little world and offered world wide, Our hidden treasure became someone's' treasure found. Today. we find a lot of our Hidden Treasures at auctions, yard sales, where someone treasured the item all their life, and the family just sells it. Treasure seekers items becomes someone's item caretaker till they are united with a new owner who really does appreciate and treasure them, once again, for what they are, what they represent, and sentimental values.

We do our best at offering items as reasonable and as affordable as you want them to be.

Please visit our quaint, but growing eBay store. As well as items that we are selling through auction listings!

Grab a cup of coffee, or a soda, and browse through the listings.

IF you still haven't found what you are looking for, eMail us. We may have your sought after treasure just waiting to be listed, or we may know where to find it for you. If we just don't have it, and we are as lost as you are, as to where it can be found, we'll help you find it. When we do, we will notify you, and list it in our eBay store, giving you first option to make an Instant Purchase.

We've been successful in finding many items that we were asked to list or find. A neat Harley fan, had just bought the bike of his dreams, he needed a owners manual, we had one, and he made an instant purchase. A sad lady in Japan loved AVON bottles, and decanters, we were able to find what she wanted, and at a far less than market value. We listed it, and she won the item.

An international buyer in France, was searching for a long enjoyed fragrance, and could no longer find it, we didn't have it. I spotted it at an estate sale, won the item, eMailed her, listed it in our eBay store, and she bought it.

We could tell about more, but, your item could become a story too.
