The Smidgen

ME!

MY ITEMS ARE FOR THE ,MOST PART USED .OLDER ITEMS..SO please please please KEEP IN MIND THAT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR PERFECT,BRAND NEW ITEMS DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT BID ON MY STUFF...IT MAY HAVE SOME FLAWS,,I DO NOT LOOK OVER EVERY PAGE IN EVERY BOOK TO SEE IF IT HAS A MARK ON IT.IF IT'S SOMETHING VERY NOTICABLE TO ME I WILL MENTION IT.SAME GOES FOR MY OTHER ITEMS,I DO NOT KNOW THE HISTORY OF MOST OF THE ITEMS SO DON'T ASK IF THEY SMELL LIKE SMOKE ...I DO  NOT KNOW IF THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND IT.TO ME AN OLD BOOK SMELLS LIKE AN OLD BOOK...GO FIGURE...BOOKS THAT ARE OLDER TAKE ON CERTAIN SMELLS...ANYONE WITH ALERGIES SHOULD NOT BID ON OLDER THINGS MAYBE.,THAT WAY THERE WILL BE NO COMPLAINTS...POSITIVE FEEDBACK IS ONLY LEFT ONCE I RECEIVE IT..TO ME THE AUCTION IS NOT COMPLETE IF I DON'T KNOW THE ITEM IS RECEIVED BY THE BIDDER BY THEM LEAVING FEEDBACK...IF YOU FEEL YOU CAN NOT LEAVE ME A 5 STAR RATING AS A SELLER AFTER ME EXPLAINING EVERYTHING HERE,PLEASE FIND THE ITEM SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE I DO MY BEST AND TREAT PEOPLE JUST AS I WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED AND IF THATS NOT WORTH A 5 STAR AND POSITIVE THEN I'M REALLY NOT INTERESTED IN A SALE.

........... since sellers can no longer even respond to neg claims they are basically being held hostage to certain bidders,though these bidders may be few compared to hinest ones,they are still out there and will try and get and keep an item and also get their money back or just not read an auction and then complain,,,because of this i no longer even put much stock in what use to be a fair feedback practise...so take that how you wish..but if i send you an item just how it looks in the picture and you drop and break it when you open it or the PO uses it as a hacky sac and you think that is any fault of mine ..or if you refues to read an auction or my terms ..i am NOT responsible..and to assume i would be is just pain silly!

...........sales are final...i do not do refunds ,as this is an auction...and i show you in a photo and a desription what you are getting.i will insure an item if you ask and pay for it but can not insure items being shipped outside the US.

..

....

......PLEASE DO NOT ASKME TO COME DOWN IN PRICE.TIMES ARE TIGHT FOR EVERYONE,I SELL TO MAKE A BIT OF MONEY.SO AFTER MY LISTING FEES.MY SELLING FEE.MY PAYPAL FEES,THE TIME IT TAKES TO TAKE PICTURES,CREATE THE AUCTION,PACK THE TEMS AND TAKE TO THE PO AND TO GO OUT AND FIND AND PURCHACE THE ITEMS...AND IN MOST CASES THEY ARE THINGS YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WALK INTO A WAL MART AND FIND...THE ANSWER IS NO...I WON'T COME DOWN IN PRICE..IF I GET A LOT OF WATCHERS ON A CERTAIN ITEM I WILL INCREASE THE PRICE IN SOME CASES,,SEE I BUY STUFF I LIKE ,SO IN THE MEANTIME ,IF IT DOESSN'T SELL I CAN ENJOY IT.

....

......

.........if any paypal payment gets a 21 day hold consider the auction null and void.any payment i received at that point will be refunded,i can NOT  have payments held for 21 days and be expected to ship an item out while i have no accses to the money for shipping or fees i incure.so sorry but thats the way it has to be if that ever happens( this is not talking about 3-4 day holds on echecks)...i would hope ANYONE would be able to understand why this would have to be the case.

.....

......I HAVE HAD TO REVISE MY PAGE BECAUSE OF SOME NEW EBAY RULES,,FIRST OFF ,I USE TO SHIP MOST BOOKS PRIORITY MAIL SO YOU WOULD GET THEM REALLY FAST,BUT NOW IF A BOOK IS LISTED IN THE BOOK SECTION I HAVE TO PUT A 4.00 CAP ON THE SHIPPING FEE,SO THAT MEANS IT WILL BE SENT MEDIA MAIL WHICH IS NOT AS FAST AND NOT AS SAFE ,SO IF YOU WANT THE BOOK SENT PRIORITY AND THAT IS NOT SHOWN MESSAGE ME FIRST FOR THE FEE.IF YOU ARE IN ALASKA OR HAWAII I WILL NOT SHIP MEDIA SO I CAN NO LONGER SHIP TO ALASKA OR HAWAII WHEN IT COMES TO BOOKS,MEDIA MAIL WILL TAKE MUCH TO LONG TO THOSE STATES AND THEN MY DSR RATING WILL SHOW SLOW SHIPPING,WHICH I WOULD HAVE NO CONTROL OF..MEDIA TAKES QUITE A BIT LONGER AND IN THOSE 2 STATES IT SEEMS TO TAKE A VERY LONG TIME TO RECEIVE PACKAGES UNLESS THEY ARE SENT PRIORITY MAIL.....if anyone wants anymore info on this or wants to pay priority shipping please just message me.

........

........ ALSO EBAY IS GOING ELECTRONIC PAYMENT NOW..I HAVE ALWAYS ACCEPTED CHECKS AND MONEY ORDERS BUT NOW THAT THEY want electronic payments, I AM  NO LONGER GIVING THE 10 DAYS TO PAY ON ITEMS THAT I ALWAYS HAVE ALLOWED.SO IF YOU NEED ANY OTHER INFO ABOUT MY CHANGES PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME.I HAVE HAD TO MAKE THEM BECAUSE OF EBAY CHANGES WITH PAYMENT TYPES AND BECAUSE OF ANY BOOK LISTED IN THE BOOK CATAGORY,,THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE BOOKS LISTED IN OTHER CATAGORIES LIKE GAMES OR COLLECTABLES..JUST BOOK CATAGORY LISTINGS.THANKS.

............I AM UNABLE TO SEND OR ADD MORE PICTURES TO AUCTIONS.YOU CAN CLICK ON THE PICS AND MAKE THEM LARGER IF YOU NEED TO SEE THE ITEM BETTER.I ANSWER MOST QUESTIONS BUT SOMETIMES AM NOT ABLE TO GET TO THEM IN TIME AS I ALSO HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO OR THE INFO IS ALREADY SHOWN IN THE AUCTION.

..........................

 I may have a handling fee added into the cost of shipping,it's not added after the auction..you can see the shipping/handling fee before you bid.Please make sure you review and AGREE with the shipping charges listed in the item description BEFORE you bid. We would love to have you as a customer but please do NOT bid if you do NOT agree with the charges. We buy on eBay also and deal with businesses that charge shipping and handling - those are their terms and THEIR businesses so we have a choice of bidding or moving on to someone else. You have the same choice when deciding whether or not to bid on our items. We don't argue their charges any more than we would argue with shipping from any other mail order business so please don't dispute our FULLY DISCLOSED charges..

..............

. I dI PUT PICTURES OF ITEMS ON(VERY LARGE PICTURES AT TIMES) SO YOU CAN SEE THE ITEM.   .. THE STUFF IS USED AND OLDER,for the most part.THIS DOES NOT MEAN EVERY ITEM IS AN ANTIQUE....JUST MEANS OLDER AS IN NOT BRAND NEW AND YES SOMETIMES VINTAGE,,,I TRY AND DESCRIBE THINGS THE BEST I CAN ,BUT REMEMBER THE STUFF IS OLDER AND USED.please DON'T BID IF YOU WANT BRAND NEW!!!!you can find brand new anywhere!!!!.the older plush stuff will be shipped with a dryer sheet..so if you are alergic to things like that,please don't bid on the stuff...anyone with bad allergies maybe should think twice about vintage plush items or books.... IthT

............... desI CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY,I TRY,BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK THAT WAY,SOMEONE WILL NOT BE HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO SOMETIMES.I TRY AND TREAT PEOPLE HOW I WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED WHEN I BID ON SOMETHING,I GET IT OUT QUICK,I EMAIL AND SAY THANKS FOR THE PAYMENT,TELL YOU WHEN IT'S LEAVING HERE ....this may sound like a LOT to say but after 10+ yrs i have to try and make sure i mention these things ....you can guess why .

   I have been on ebay for 10 years  Dec 08.I have met some great people.Some I have sold to have PURCHASED toys or books they remember as a child.As I said.We sell ALL kinds of stuff.Books,toys,art,clothes....nicknacks...if it's something that looks neat to me,I buy it and see if anyone wants it.I have all kinds of BUY IT NOW stuff in my ebay store..PLEASE ONLY USE EBAY MESSAGE SYSTEM FOR CONTACTING ME>EMAILS CAN GET LOST OR SENT TO SPAM.I RECEIVE LOTS OF MESSAGES AND WILL RESPOND TO MOST,BUT IF I SEE A QUESTION ASKED WHEN I HAVE ALREADY ANSWERED IT IN MY DESCRIPTION I USUALLY WONT RESPOND BECAUSE I ASSUME THE BIDDER HAS NOT READ THE AUCTION AND THATS WHEN IT CAN RUN INTO PROBLEMS.WHEN I BUY ON EBAY I ALWAYS READ THE AUCTION BEFORE I BID/

................you made it this far please keep going.
