Yankee Attics - Treasures from Northern New England


Hi!. My name is Tom and my nickname on eBay is barre-boy , which refers to my hometown. I have been with eBay since Sunday, Feb 16, 1997 . Many years ago I graduated from attending Vermont Country Auctions to becoming a licensed auctioneer myself, and working as the ringman and backup for a very talented local auctioneer and picker.  I learned a great deal about the thousands of interesting and collectible items that could be found in old Vermont homesteads.  I combined that with my vocational experience in computers and learned to bring the power of the Internet into the research needed to recognize and evaluate the kinds of expected and unexpected items that cross my path as I haunt country auctions, antique shops, estate sales, garage sales, and similar venues, mostly in Vermont, but also in other parts of the country.  My goal is not just to bring you the rare and valuable items worth huge amounts of money (and I don't believe there is anything worth too much too sell on eBay).  I also want to show you the many, many little things, odd-ball pieces, unusual items, single and small lot pieces of brand-name chima, glassware and pottery from respected American and world-wide firms, but also Vermont primitive art, hand-made, artist-designed studio art, glass and pottery from many of the most gifted artists in the world, some of whom have made a home in Vermont,  My selection goes from the very inexpensive but useful, to the esoteric and somewhat valuable items that I have found.  If you look at my store, you will eventually discover that I am attracted to the unusual, seldom seen, hard to classify and downright strange items that abound in Vermont attics, but that I sell anything and everything I find.

My philosophy is based on both the lessons I learned in the auctions I attended, the auctions I worked in and my ten years in eBay.  I pay fair prices, so that people will continue to sell to me.  I charge fair prices so that people will continue to buy from me.  Dishonesty is its own punishment; Honor is not a choice in a specific transaction, it is a way of life.  Whatever you lose to persons who take advantage of you, you will make up ten-fold in persons who come to trust you.  The result is my set of "customer friendly" shipping and returns policy,  There is a link to the deatils in every item I list.  In brief, I don't try to take advantage eBay or PayPal fees by clever listing tricks; I don't try to take advantage of the Postal Service rates, by cutting back on shipping materials.  And most of all, I don't try to take advantage of my customers by clever descriptions, half-truths and protective disclaimers.  I try to be sure that the list of things my customers MUST DO!!!, are FORBIDDEN FROM DOING!!, and the things I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR!!  are kept to a bare minimun and shorter than the item description.  I do not live in fear of negative feedback, and I have never received any.  It will happen someday, but I refuse to erect barricades around my sales to keep out potential bidders who might possibly, someday, eventually leave me a negative comment.  Instead I try to assure positive feedback, by being the best eBay merchant that I can be,

Here are just a few of my favorite finds (all of these have already been sold - so don't ask):


Handcarved Gilded Wooden Eagle from a Vermont Barn

Underplate made at Burslem Staffordshire around 1828

Rebound copies of original research about Joan of Arc

Ice Cream Parlor Fan from Barre, Vermont about 1906
