My name is Clemmie - and I am a 45 year old Truck Driver, Entrepreneur and Photographer from North Carolina.

Out of the last 20 years, I have spent the majority of my life in the long-haul Trucking industry, travelling all over the United States - delivering everything that makes Life As We Know It possible. About half of that period was as an Owner-Operator, until a major truck breakdown, in May 2007, forced me out of the business 'the hard way'.

From May 2007 through early October 2008, I stayed at home, as a full-time eBay Seller - doing a nice business in Gifts and Electronics items, primarily - until 'the bottom fell out' over the Summer of 2008, as growing global economic woes increasingly touched everyone's lives and finances.

From October 10, 2008, I am back in the Trucking business - as a Driver for Schneider National.

My eBay business continues - albeit on a smaller scale - with the solid support of my customers: good people, who understand the realities of making a living in today's tough economic climate.

I first discovered eBay in early 1998 - back in the early days - and found it a great way for a full-time traveller to actually have a "Yard Sale". I also found the eBay "yard" preferable to the yard outside - more traffic, a higher ratio of sales, didn't have to tote the leftovers back in the house afterwards....and best of all, I didn't have to Mow it!

'Image by Clemmie' - the business name and the eBay Store - evolved from my lifelong interest in Photography. The Store provides an anchor point - a handy 'one stop' place to check out ALL of my Current Listings for EVERYTHING - which you can access directly, by going to www.imagebyclemmie.com .

As a customer of Image by Clemmie, you're always dealing directly with 'The Man In Charge'. I carefully maintain the scale of my business as a one-man operation - as I take Personal Customer Service very seriously, and therefore like to handle it Personally. I personally choose the merchandise offered, shoot the pictures, write the listings, set the policies, handle the correspondence, and pack the shipments. When we communicate, you'll be dealing one on one with the person in charge - with no 'corporate shuffle' ever involved.

Notice to those who are Hypersensitive to 'Cigarette Smell':

You are dealing with a Smoker here. I do take reasonable precautions to not 'contaminate' the merchandise with the smell - but if you're really hunting for it, I'm sure you can find it on most anything, from here or elsewhere.

Many items nowadays are made in heavily polluted foreign lands, and thus bring their own 'smoke smells' with them - totally beyond my control, and often undetectable by me.

So, as you have now been fully advised of the possibility - I will NOT be making any adjustments for any supposed scents.

I thank you for taking the time to look around here today - and I Truly Appreciate YOUR Business!
