I started out on eBay in Jan. of 1998. The first year or so I was just a very addicted buyer. I had a lot of fun adding to my many collections that I still add to today. And I had the collecting bug bad! Yard sales and auctions where ever I thought I'd find something to add to my collection. And at auctions you always end up with some other things they added in a box to get your bid. What to do with the extra stuff? I just couldn't make myself throw it away. Next thing I know I'm listing the extra's on eBay and trying to make a little extra money to support my habit. I'm still doing that very same thing today. I am still a buyer and want to assure you that if you buy anything from me I'll treat you fair.

I try to keep my starting price low; after all it's the bidding is that is exciting. I also try to keep my shipping cost to you reasonable. I will try to offer a couple of shipping options to you if possible. I get purchased items in the mail within three days. After that the rest of the delivery time is up to the Post Office and your choice of shipping.

Feed back is an option, not a requirement. What happened to just plain old feedback? Do your own research into my feedback before bidding. You'll find that 99.99 % of my buyers are happy.

About eBays Stars ***** In my opionion ....Ebay doesn't need the 5 star ratings... they only need 4 stars.. if you look closely at them .. and hover over the star it tells you what it stands for ...number 4 star being ACCURATE - SATISFIED - QUICKLY - REASONABLE ... surely it does not need a 5 star with an extra word VERY in front of it .. so I would like to ask my buyers to leave me 5 stars on each level if you are happy with the transaction and service. If you have any problems you can always email me before you leave feedback and we'll work it out.

Five stars is the highest rating, and one star is the lowest.

What you rate: Tips for rating
 
How accurate was the item description?
 Review the item title and description to see if they match the item you received.
 
How satisfied were you with the seller's communication?
 Recall if the seller addressed any questions or concerns that you had, and did so in a professional manner.

Consider only business days when evaluating the timeliness of the seller’s communication (sellers might not check email on
weekends and holidays).
 
How quickly did the seller ship the item?
 Rate the seller on the time it took to mail the item, not the time it took you to receive the item.

Don’t hold sellers responsible for delays in mail services, international custom delays, or for the time it takes for your payment to clear. If the item is for local pick-up you won't be able to specify this rating.
 
How reasonable were the shipping and handling charges?
 Remember that sellers may charge for the cost of the actual packaging materials, along with a reasonable handling fee to cover the seller’s time and direct costs associated with shipping.
