I moved from Toledo, Ohio (after 15 years there) to Plover, Wisconsin. Pardon the blanks on this page, I need to reload assorted .jpg and .gif since changing my ISP. I am re-establishing buying as well as selling with my new engineering assignment and home stabilizing. Thank you. I can be reached at soumicalling@hotmail.com(I neither have nor use any other user I.D. besides "zenengineer")
I was formally verified through eBay as to who I am & where I am physically located when in Toledo and will have my profile re-submitted for my new location . I have been in technical items and computer refurbishment and resale for 10 years, primarily through trade shows, conventions & word-of-mouth, as I do not maintain a store front. I have been in design & process engineering for 30 years, with expertise in building construction materials, fibers, nonwovens, resins and paper products. I converted to part-time internet & mail order sales in 1999, with long-term plans of an upper Michigan location, where I purchased commercial property. I do NO business via PayPal or Billpoint, sorry that such payments have to be refused. If in October of 2008 eBay forces e-payment only on sellers, I will QUIT SELLING entirely on eBay after nearly 9 spotless years of doing so. This "eBay's own PayPal only" approach was thrown out in Australia and should not be condoned in the USA. I accept personal checks and M.O.'s (after they clear or based on your feedback level), but USPS M.O.'s or Cashier's Checks will ship within 36 hours, often same day, (barring weekends if UPS is involved).. Canadian bidders please note I accept personal checks when allowing for the correct exchange rate, but my bank says three weeks are needed to clear, so an international M.O. is perhaps best. Any item I sell is shipped with a Customer Copy Sales Receipt which includes any appropriate serial numbers and the terms of sale.
Memories specializes in Macintosh & technical items. Items going up on eBay will be without reserve and come with a written receipt. Any computer-related warrantee will be in the eBay item description. Please note that many technical items have some type of replacement warrantee which will be stated in the description. Non-technical items will be identified & described to the best of my ability. All of my inventory is traceable, procured from known sources. Opened software is not returnable.
I CAN SHIP INTERNATIONALLY, Countries shipped to in the past have included Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Australia and Chile. I am not in the business to make money on shipping or packaging, nor do I wish to provide a bargain & tack on high shipping costs, if it can be avoided. I minimize weights & provide options when feasible. Laptops and CPU's are shipped double-boxed, foamed-cornered. If I undercharge, I eat it & if it arises that I charged too much for shipping, I will endeaver to notify the bidder to arrange something. This policy is not ironclad & usually meaningless on small amounts.
Regarding bidding - "Know what you want, know what you need and know the difference." If you don't communicate or if payment is repeatedly delayed you will be flagged & the item will be removed and/or relisted. "The grace of straightforward communications redeems many sins." If you are known to be a NPB, disregard or cancel bids, or other traits that spoil eBay transactions, I reserve the right to reject your bid. Any future bidding by a rejected bidder will be deemed harrassment & eBay notified. Bid cancellation can be cause for voiding an auction & notification to eBay. Needless to say, 99%+ of my transactions as seller or buyer on eBay have been good ones.There are items I look for - As "also buyers" on eBay, I practice my own rules as well as individual seller's preconditions.
Background Multiple degrees in the sciences with industrial R&D engineering over the years at Eastman Kodak, P&G, American Can, Dexter Corp., Tambrands, Johns Manville and now NewPage. Currently hold 39 US patents and patent applications, besides a few European. Some even make money. A classic example of America's melting pot, I hail from Finnish, Quebec French-Canadian & Northwest coastal Native American heritages and embrace them all. Added Chinese-Philippine to the same pot when recently married. I hold to the notion that if we revamp our immigration policies, put a native in charge.
eBay handle is zenengineer( 351) (but not yet practicing the art of motorcycle maintenance).
