FAQs / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS!

How low will you go for a Best Offer?
All REASONABLE offers are appreciated whether I accept or not. No REASONABLE offer will be ignored and many will be accepted. If an offer is too low, I may submit a counter-offer. I research my items, and as best as I can, list them at or below current market value. I do my best to have a Buy It Now (BIN) price that is fair and competitive, so offers that are significantly below the BIN price are usually ignored or discarded. An offer near or below half of the BIN price is an insult and will be flatly declined or thrown out. Occasionally I will accept a low offer if the item is dead stock or the market value has changed, but for the most part, please don’t waste your time or mine with an offensively low offer. IMPORTANT: If you are going to make an offer, please make sure the item doesn’t have an out-of-town or “vacation” note inserted in the listing. Offers expire after 48 hours, so if I’m out of town, check my return date and try to wait until then to make your offer. Thanks in advance for your reasonable offers.

Will you e-mail me when you ship my item?
I use online shipping whenever possible, and you should get an e-mail message from PayPal or the USPS with the ship date and tracking number. Then I confirm the shipping date in your positive feedback, usually on the same day (see above for more about my feedback policy). I'm not able to use online services for some shipments, such as most international packages. In these cases, please check your feedback for shipping confirmation.

Will you pack my item safely and securely?
Absolutely! I've been shipping all kinds of things, large and small, for over 20 years (including some very expensive and a priceless item or two) and have never caused damage to a shipment by not packing properly. I follow USPS guidelines and often go beyond the recommended protection. If you have any requests regarding shipping, make sure you let me know before paying so I can send you an invoice reflecting your special needs. For example, it would be unreasonable to expect me to buy $4.00 worth of boxes, and pay extra shipping for the extra weight, if you bought a 99 cent item with a $3.80 shipping fee (yes, this has happened more than once).

Where do you get your stuff?
I've been an avid collector of all kinds of entertainment items for most of my life. Now I need space (the final frontier!), and a few bucks here and there comes in handy. I'm going through my various collections and storage boxes and putting what I find on eBay as time permits. For the most part, I’m not acquiring new items to sell, just going through what I’ve got. In most cases I only have one of each item. With eBay, I know if I let something go, it will end up in the hands of someone who will really appreciate and/or enjoy it!

Do you do this for a living OR do you have a "brick and mortar" store somewhere?
I try to break even, but certainly don't make a living, nor do I have a physical store. I'm simply a lover of pop culture trying to lighten my load. Most items get sold for less than the original price. Factor in time spent, climate controlled storage for a decade (or two or three), internet service, gasoline, supplies, etc. and let's put it this way: I don't have to worry about the IRS squeezing any blood out of this turnip. I do enjoy digging through my history, checking out old things one more time, taking pictures for my listing, etc. Collecting things has been a labor of love, and so is selling them on eBay.
