This old house has stood on the banks of Rocky Creek for almost 100 years. It has an eclectic past and has weathered many storms.   It survived the terrible hurricane of 1921, only to become a speakeasy and whorehouse known as the White Pelican. It has housed wrestlers and lawyers, farmers, doers, and dreamers, and now inspires us to reach back into the past for ephemeral treasures for you!

As we sort through 50 years of collected treasures, we will be offering an eclectic array of items such as books of all kinds, mostly non fiction, mostly out of print. The books that you can't easily run down to Borders and buy. You will find many with the enthusiast in mind, no matter what you like to do.  We will be listing pop culture items, those ephemeral things that define an era, that resonate in our memories, like old cereal and popcorn boxes, cook booklets and other vintage memorabilia. But we also offer other things as well. Fact is, just as this house has an unexpected and exciting past, there can be nothing less for the store! It is ever changing, and always has something interesting being listed.

OUR SELLING PHILOSOPHY......

Our selling philosophy is simple. We treat customers the way we'd like to be treated. That means accurate descriptions, safe packaging, fast shipment, and good communication. 

We pack carefully and securely, and ship within 48 business hrs of payment with free delivery confirmation. We don't routinely insure items, but it is a recommended option.

 If we don't address something in the description, please ask us via "Ask Seller a Question." we will get back to you within hours.  We don't mind questions!

PAYMENT OPTIONS AND INFO......

We prefer Paypal, but money orders are fine too.  If paying by money order, the PAY NOW Button will give you our mailing address so you can send payment. In that case, you need to notify us by email when you get the invoice that you intend to pay by snail mail. If you win or buy more than one item, please let us know and we will almost always be able to adjust the shipping to save you some cash, unless it is a bulky or heavy item, or items that are too dissimilar.

PLEASE REMEMBER.....

We do our very best to give you a truthful and accurate description of the items for sale/auction. We do ask this in return: Please remember that this is Ebay and not a department store. All items are to be considered used unless stated differently in the description.(We DO sell new items sometimes too!) While we do try to get provenance on an item, and do research, we do not claim expertise on any item! We just describe and photograph it to the best of our ability, and answer any questions that you might have. Please read the payment and shipping terms before bidding or buying. If we have grossly mis-represented an item, we will issue a complete refund upon return of the item.  We like happy customers who come back time and again.
