A little about me...

My eBay user ID is fallis76( 534Feedback score is 500 to 999)

I became a member of eBay in September 2002, after a cousin told me about it and that you can find whatever you're looking for on eBay.  For the first two years, I only bought.  I sold my first item in 2004 and realized that eBay is a great way to clear out clutter in your home.  It's like an online garage sale, only you can sell things at your pace and not have to bother with setting up and advertising a real garage sale.  And there is an unlimited market, with eBay's worldwide presence.

 

What I sell...

I mostly sell antiques and collectibles.  I have sold everything from old china and silverware to old toys to Christmas lights to car parts and electric fans.  My favorite thing to sell is Christmas lights.  I sell the large, colored Christmas lights that you might remember from childhood.  You can still buy the traditional lights in stores and in multicolored sets, but there is one color you can't find in any store in America.  That color is yellow, as in lemon yellow.  It is impossible to find yellow lights in stores, but I always say that a tree without yellow lights is like a sandwich without bread.  Or put another way, putting up a tree without yellow lights is like trying to use a computer without a mouse. 

 

Below is a comparison of two trees.  The tree on the left does not have yellow lights.  The tree on the right has yellow lights. 

See what a difference yellow makes!

Some more information on Christmas lights...

In addition to being used on trees, yellow lights can also be used in window-candles.  In candles, yellow lights actually look like flames.  By contrast, orange lights look like embers, white lights look washed out, transparent lights are hard on the eyes (with the glare of the filament) and clear lights look cold and bleak.

 

 

There are two types of the large, traditional Christmas lights.  The technical terms for them are C7 and C9 lights. 

  • C7 lights usually burn at 5 watts and are 1.5 inches long (2 inches if you include the base).  They are designed for indoor use. 

  •  
  • C9 lights usually burn at 7 watts and are 2.5 inches long (3 inches if you include the base).  They are designed for outdoor use.  They are heavy-duty and weather-resistant. 

Below is a comparison of C7 and C9 lights.

 

I have also written some guides about the Christmas lights that I sell, as well as tips on how to best use them and how to make decorating your tree an easier task.

In addition, these lights can be used for far more than Christmas decorating.  They can be used as Mardi Gras lights.  They can also be used as party lights or they can be used to decorate your backyard, porch, deck or patio or your dock (if you live near water).  They can also be used as bar or restaurant decor.  The only limits are your imagination!


Payment, Shipping and Return Policies:

Payment:

Payment for all items is due within seven (7) days of purchase.  I accept PayPal, money orders, cashier's checks and personal checks.  I ship items out after receiving payment.  If you pay with a personal check, I will have to wait for the check to clear before I can ship out your purchases.

Shipping:

Buyer is responsible for shipping, handling and insurance fees.  Insurance is mandatory with every auction.

Shipping is usually USPS Priority Mail.  International shipments are USPS Parcel Post.  Shipments for items over 65 pounds are UPS Ground.  If you purchase multiple items, I will combine shipping so you don't have to pay as much in shipping costs and with combined shipping, I offer buyers the choice of Priority Mail or Parcel Post. 

In addition, I take every possible precaution to make sure that items arrive at their destination without being damaged or broken.  I often double-box items for extra protection.  This may mean higher postage, but you can rest assured that this buyer has done everything possible to make sure that your purchases are safely packed.

Returns:

If you're not satisfied with your purchase, you may return it for a full refund within 10 days of the end of the auction.  Buyer pays for the shipping and a refund is sent after the item has been received.
