Welcome to Our Little Corner of eBay
The real me...
My name is David and with the help of my wife Molly we run "66studmuffin". In the real world we both have full time jobs, I work for the county and Molly homeschools our two boys ages 16 and 13.
Of course our favorite hobby is photography. I am a die-hard film kinda guy and Molly has been digital from day one. One of these days I guess I'm going to have to go to the "darkside" and convert to digital. That will make my wife happy. She always has to drop off my film for processing (which is becoming much harder to find).
The eBay me...
We have been selling on eBay for over four years. It's been a pleasure getting to know many of our bidders from all over the world!
We work hard to provide our customers with the best Maxxum equipment available for the hobbyist to the professional. We carry tons of Minolta items including brands such as Tamron, Tokina, and Sigma. Many of our items will work with the Sony Alpha. If there is something specific that you're looking for just let us know, if we don’t have it in our inventory at that time we might be getting it in. We are always happy to get something listed for you.

Please feel free to check out our store for more Minolta Maxxum/Sony Alpha equipment. We will put all our filters (we have a ton!), hard camera cases, lenses, camera bodies, manuals, and many of our smaller items in our store for you to buy at your convenience. Inventory will be added as time allows so check back often.
FAQ's:
What's with the name 66studmuffin?
My wife’s eBay ID is the nickname that I call her, so when making my ID we did the same, studmuffin is her nickname for me. It was already taken so I added the 66 so it would be more "car-like" (It's a guy thing).
How will I know when my item is shipped?
You will receive at least two emails telling you of your shipment. The first on will come from PayPal when the label is printed, this email will contain the delivery confirmation number and actual ship date. The second is our email informing you that your item has been shipped, no other package information is included. Please make sure that you can receive emails from PayPal and from us if you want to know when your package is coming.
Why don't you accept PayPal payments from international bidders?
We don't accept payments from international bidders for the same reason we don't accept payments from US bidders with unconfirmed addresses, no seller protection. We are more than happy to ship to all confirmed addresses and at this writing PayPal only has some confirmed addresses from Canada and the UK. For now we offer Moneybookers.com for our international bidders.
Why do you only ship Express Mail International for international bidders?
In order to be covered by Moneybookers seller protection agreement we are required to use a shipping service that provides a
tracking number. At this time USPS only puts tracking numbers on the most expensive service they have, and in May 2007 they raised
their rates. We don't agree with USPS, they should allow tracking numbers on the slower services as well. If they ever offer tracking
on Priority Mail International, then we will use that service instead of Express Mail.
Do you know where I can find downloadable Minolta manuals?
As a matter of fact we do! Just click the link below and you will be sent to a site that has most every manual ready to download for free, those that are not hyperlinked may be requested via email. Free Minolta Resources & Downloads!
Shipping Information:
All our items are cleaned and tested before listing and very well packaged before shipping therefore we do charge a modest handling fee to pay for the supplies we use, like bubble wrap and packing peanuts.
We are more than happy to combine multiple wins within a 7 day period as long as only one payment is made. Just email us and we will send out a combined invoice with the reduced shipping cost. USA Residents
We ship via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 days) with Delivery Confirmation unless otherwise stated. Insurance is optional, however we do recommend that you purchase insurance during checkout as we cannot accept responsibility for items lost or destroyed in the mail.
International Residents
We ship via USPS Express Mail International only (3-5 days). Each package ships fully insured!
Return Policy:
Please make sure you read the item description carefully before bidding! We accept returns only if we have grossly misrepresented the item. Returns will be accepted if we are notified within three days of receiving your item(s). We will be happy to refund all costs including return shipping (US parcels only). We feel that if we have made a big mistake (we’re only human) you should not be out a dime for it, unlike some other sellers we've seen that will not refund shipping fees even when they are at fault! Why should you have to pay for a sellers mistake?  [gets off of soapbox]
