Me and the misses outside a restaurant in LA

Hello Friends,  What are the vintage junkies?   We are sellers of quality vintage and designer goods.  Through our auctions and our ebay store we have been buying and selling on ebay since 2001. 

    In the past we have had several brick and mortar stores at various antique malls where we sold larger and or fragile items.  Since 2007 we have been exclusively on ebay. 

   We are located in Sunny San Clemente California.  

Some thoughts on Ebay and Life

1. Please read the listing prior to bidding on an item.  Also read your mortgage before signing that too.

2.  Please don't bid if you dont like the terms or shipping on an item.  We state all costs up front.  If your unhappy with them then kindly take your business elsewhere.

3. We are fair and honest people and  expect the same from others.

4.  We never mutually withdraw feedback.

5. If you mess with a bull you are gonna get the horns.

6. If your new to ebay please educate yourself before making demands.  The community forums are a great resource for educating yourself.

7.  Rooting for the New York Yankees is like going to Vegas and rooting for the house in a game of blackjack.

8.  Unhappy with your transaction?  Contact your seller and discuss your problem in a calm and rational manner.  Speak to that person in your email as if they were sitting across from you.  Take a deep breath or wait a few hours before writing back if your angry.

9.  Wheres my package, wheres my package!!!!  Patience Danial San.   We ship out packages 2-3 times a week.  We also provide all domestic customers with shipping confirmation and tracking info.  In 7 years and 8,000 or so transactions about 7 have been lost in the mail. 

10.  I am not an employee of the post office.  Other than telling you your item shipped and providing you with the shipping confirmation number and tracking info I have little control over your packages arrival.

11.  I dont trust people who my dog  Elvis doesnt like.  He is an excellent judge of character.

Me the misses and elvis at the pajama jammy jam

About me  hmmmmm, lets see.

I grew up in a little town about 40 miles outside of Boston called Millbury Massachucetts.  When I was young we had one stoplight in town, it was that kind of small.  I played varsity soccer and basketball in high school.  Go Woolies!

   After high school I went to college at Clark Univeristy in Worceter Massachucets where I obtained a BA in history.  While at Clark I was a resident advisor and played a some varsity lacrosse.  Clark is an excellent small liberal arts college.  If your looking for an educationally challenging yet intimate school setting, Clark might be for you.

   Upon graduation, I worked in a supervisory role at several group homes for troubled youth.  I then spent a few years teaching at an alternative high school.  Growing sick of the cold and with my wife to be looking to attend grad school. I moved to sunny California.  I had a friend living in Dana Point and he was nice enough to let us move in with him.  :-)  Thanks Dave.

     The misses and I eventually got married in Vegas at the MGM Grand. (we had an Elvis impersonator perform at our wedding) :-)  We purchased a house in Sunny San Clemente California. Its the last town on the coast in Orange County.   I miss the people in Boston but not the terrible weather and mosquitos.

We started buying and selling on ebay in 2001 and have been at it every since.
