that's me & he!

I have been a member of e-bay since 1999 and have been selling on a regular basis for the last couple of years. Most recently, my speciality has become jewelry wire and findings. I found my true love (sorry Tom!) is making jewelry - specifically sterling silver earrings, bracelets, & necklaces. And I want to provide those quality materials to you so that you can make some beautiful jewelry for yourself! All of these materials are brand new and sold as reasonably as possible. Even though the silver and gold markets continue to go up, I am trying to keep costs low - for myself and for you!

I also acquire some unusual things every now and then. Finally my husband's yard-saleing has paid off! So, since we try to buy as inexpensively as possible, we pass that savings along to potential collectors. I have sold a variety of items - from inexpensive ashtrays to a very old record player which went off to Spain. And everything in-between!

With the unusual/antique/collectibles that I sell, I always describe the item first, with all the good points and any flaws that I have found. Some may think this is a mistake, but I trully believe in being honest and upfront with people. I won't knowingly sell a pig-in-a-poke to anyone! If there is a flaw that I have missed at any time, I do apologize, and I have a money-back guarantee if the item is not as I have described.

After my description, I indicate the number of days I have it listed for and whether or not there is a reserve - generally not. My last paragraph always indicates my shipping/handling costs. I weigh the items and calculate the postage before I submit my listing into the e-bay system. I add on a very small handling fee to partially cover packing materials/gas to post office/etc. I try to be as honest and fair as I want to be treated when I am a customer. As you can see from my feedback, my customers have been very pleased. I hope to always maintain that standard.

On a more personal note, I have been married to the same great guy for 33+ years, have 2 beautiful grown-up daughters and a terrific 13 year old grandson. I live in the beautiful State of Maine part of the year and in the sunny state of Florida during the winter months. I am a long-time member of TOPS ME 110 Litchfield and have created and maintain their website - check it out: www.topslitchfield.org. We welcome new members if you live in the Central Maine area.

Have fun bidding and stay tuned for updates! Thanks for checking in
