My name is Bob and I live in Southern California. I have been selling photographic equipment, movie & television memorabilia and other items on eBay since 1997. My personal experience with photography spans approximately 25 years and I have had work published by Shutterbug Magazine, the British Camera & Darkroom and others. I am also active in the Hollywood motion picture industry and a member of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. At one time or another I have worked for all the major Hollywood studios: Warner Bros., Paramount, Disney, DreamWorks, Universal, etc., and for all the major television networks too. And, I continue to scour the Hollywood landscape for collectibles large and small. My favorites are cast and crew clothing and I've sold a great many movie and television, cast and crew jackets, shirts, hats and other memorabilia items over the years. As an ebay seller I have shipped many hundreds of items to buyers all over the world and I'm proud to say I've made many friends in the process.
BID EARLY!
Remember, the earlier bid always wins out over the later bid of equal value. Simply placing a bid early in the auction that represents the most you wish to pay for the item will win you more auctions at better prices than any "sniping" strategy. I know because I do it all the time myself. I even buy items on eBay this way and resell them to the snipers at a nice profit! Just decide on the maximum bargain price you want to pay, place that as your bid and move on. In the long run you will win more auctions at lower prices than any sniper can. And, eBay has been recommending this exact strategy to bidders from the very beginning!
We pack all items securely with plenty of padding and use recycled shipping materials whenever possible to help conserve resources and to
hold down your shipping costs.
For shipping within the USA, we ship via US Priority Mail (or US Book Rate when applicable), usually with Delivery Confirmation tracking. US Priority Mail delivery is fast (2 to 3 days), reliable and very economical. We can, however, ship via USPS Express Mail for an additional charge, if you prefer. You can always e-mail us (by clicking on the "ask seller a question" line near the top of all our auction listings) regarding the shipping cost of a specific item -- please specify the item's eBay Auction Number and the shipping destination.
For foreign sales (when offered) we ship via USPS Air, Surface or Express Mail. Costs vary depending on service desired and destination country.
Please e-mail us for the shipping cost to your destination. Occasionally, an item may be described as being for US Shipping Only. This will be noted in the item's description
and means that only shipping within the USA or its Possessions will be provided for this item. If in doubt, please e-mail your question before bidding.
By the way, we have shipped items all over the world, including many to Europe, Asia and
Australia with no problems. Foreign bidders please note that a customs fee may apply to your shipment. Any such fee is the responsibility of the buyer and we always complete customs forms accurately as required by US law. Questions about customs fees should be directed to your local postal authority or customs agency.
We accept PayPal from confirmed USA accounts for USA sales. When payment is made via PayPal we always ship to the confirmed PayPal address.
We do accept some other forms of payment -- please email us for details.
Your satisfaction with our items is very important to us, so please read our item descriptions and terms carefully and ask any pertinent questions before bidding. All of our merchandise is sold without warranty, "as is" and all sales are final. Please note that most of our auction merchandise is previously owned unless stated otherwise and no additional items or accessories are included in our auctions unless specifically mentioned as being included. In most cases, we only have one of a particular item and when it is gone, it is gone.
Please do not assume that we can accommodate payment or shipping arrangements different than those stated in the item description. If there are questions, please email us and receive an answer before bidding. We try to be complete in our descriptions but if you find some information to be lacking, please ask us for more information before bidding. If an item you purchased from us is truly found to be significantly different than described, we do offer a 7 day return (see full Return Policy below for details).
In addition to our feedback file, here are a few excerpts from notes we have received from buyers of our items:

Dear Bob,
Just a quick note to let you know that I received the 3 vintage cameras and I really like them. I gotta admit, they were in better condition than I expected (a pleasant surprise) and I do appreciate both the nice packaging and quickness, and I tried to mention as many of these qualities in your feedback as I could (80 characters, and I think I used all of them). And, thanks for my feedback, too! Hope to be working with you again, it was truly a pleasure.
Sincerest regards,
VR
