HELLO, 

LET ME START OUT BY TELLING YOU I'M LOCATED IN SPRING HILL, FLORIDA. THATS IN THE TAMPA BAY AREA. I'VE BEEN COLLECTING VINTAGE MODERN DESIGN PIECES FOR OVER 20 YEARS NOW. I'M A SINGLE PARENT AND HAVE A FULL TIME JOB THATS NOT RELATED TO MY EBAY ACTIVITIES. THIS STARTED OUT AS A HOBBY FOR ME AND MY TEENAGE SON TO SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME TOGETHER...THAT IS WHEN HE'S NOT PLAYING HALO 3...HOWEVER, IT HAS QUICKLY TURNED INTO A FULL TIME JOB AS WELL. MOST EVERYTHING I SELL WAS FOUND AT AREA ESTATE SALES OR LOCAL THRIFT STORES AND ON OCCASION I SELL THINGS FOR FOR MY NEIGHBORS OR FAMILY OR FRIENDS. I'VE BEEN A MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING WITH EBAY SINCE FEBRUARY15, 2003. I PRIDE MYSELF ON EXCELENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SATISFACTION AS WELL AS PROVIDING QUALITY VINTAGE PIECES. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR BUSINESS. 

LET ME START OUT HERE BY ADDRESSING FEEDBACK...FROM BOTH BUYERS AND SELLERS. UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE TOO MANY BUYERS THAT DON'T LEAVE FEEDBACK...SO I WILL ONLY LEAVE FEEDBACK AFTER I HAVE RECEIVED YOURS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT DON'T BID ON MY ITEMS.

I DEAL IN USED VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE ITEMS.  IT IS NORMAL FOR USED VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE ITEMS TO HAVE SOME WEAR ON THEM DUE TO AGE OR USE...e.g. CRAZING IN POTTERY PIECES OR  COLD PAINT WEAR...ETC...ETC..SO PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WHEN PURCHASING THESE ITEMS. 

IF ITS AN ITEM THAT USES ELECTRICITY SUCH AS A LAMP FOR INSTANCE...PLEASE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT THESE ITEMS ARE NOT UP TO CURRENT ELECTRICAL SAFETY CODES AND FOR SAFETY REASONS YOU SHOULD HAVE A PROFFESIONAL INSPECT ANY VINTAGE ELECTRICAL PIECE YOU BUY.

I ALWAYS PLUG THE ITEM IN AND MAKE A GENERAL OBSERVATION ON TO ITS CONDITION BUT I AM NOT A PROFFESIONAL WHEN IT COMES TO THE ELECTRICAL COMPONETS OF ANY ELECTRICAL ITEM. AGAIN IT'S UP TO YOU THE BUYER TO MAKE SURE YOU ASK THE APPROPRIATE QUESTIONS AND I WILL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY ANSWER YOU.

I TRY AND GIVE A VERY DETAILED AND HONEST DESCRIPTION OF EVERY ITEM I SELL, HOWEVER, SOMETIMES I DO MISS SOMETHING. IT'S UP TO YOU THE BUYER TO ASK DETAILED QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID. IF YOU NEED MORE PICTURES OR ANY OTHER DETAILS THAT I HAVE NOT INCLUDED IN MY DESCRIPTION I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO SO. 

I CHARGE ACTUAL SHIPPING COSTS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED. INSURANCE IS OFFERED & SUGGESTED, BUT NOT MANDATORY. SO PLEASE IF YOUR ITEM IS RECEIVED DAMAGED, IT'S NOT MY FAULT. YOU WERE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO INSURE THE ITEM. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OCCURRED DURING SHIPPING AND WILL NOT REFUND YOU FOR THAT ITEM. ALSO IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR ITEM IS RETURNED TO ME FOR WHATEVER REASONS ON YOUR END...YOU MUST PAY ADDITIONAL SHIPPING FEES.

 I USE USPS 1ST CLASS MAIL, PARCEL POST, PRIORITY MAIL OR UPS GROUND FOR THE MAJORITY OF ITEMS I SELL. FOR LARGER ITEMS OR FURNITURE LOCAL FREIGHT COMPANIES WILL BE LISTED WITH CONTACT INFO AND IT WILL BE YOUR RESPONSIBILTY TO ARRANGE CRATING & SHIPPING OF THAT ITEM OR ARRANGE FOR LOCAL PICK UP. IF THE ITEM IS GOING TO AN INTERNATIONAL LOCATION I WILL USE USPS INTERNATIONAL FIRST CLASS MAIL...UP TO 4LBS...OVER 4LBS USPS INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY MAIL. IF THE ITEM IS OF UNUSUAL SIZE AND NEEDS A CUSTOM BOX AND OR A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF SAFE PACKING MATERIALS I WILL PASS THAT FEE ONTO THE BUYER.

AGIAN IT'S UP TO YOU THE BUYER TO ASK THESE QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. I WANT YOU TO HAVE THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE WHILE SHOPPING ON EBAY AND HAVE SATISFIED REPEAT CUSTOMERS FOR ME.
