Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:
I started selling on e-Bay in 1999. Like many others during these challenging economic times, what started as a hobby has grown into an important second income to buy groceries and pay the gas bill.
I chose my e-Bay name from the end of a shoe box !
"my attic" is a euphemism......no way could I be climbing stairs that many times a day. Actually my merchandise is stored in a clean smoke and pet free environment on the GROUND LEVEL!!!
Speaking of smoke free...many of my listings are vintage and were picked up at estate sales, auctions and yard/tag sales. I cannot guarantee they have come from a smokefree environment but I try and add nothing to my inventory with a significant odor like smoke.
Please pay for all of your purchases with one PAYPAL transaction. This helps me keep the cost of my items very reasonable.
Please keep your contact information current. I will only ship to your confirmed Paypal address.
Payments are expected with-in 4 DAYS but during these tough economic times...if you want an extension or are going to be late with a payment just e-mail. I'm a pretty fair person and I know we can work something out.
I charge a handling fee as per e-Bay guidelines. It is included in the S/H charges mentioned on every listing. I charge a flat rate for shipping regardless of where you reside in the USA as it is easier to list and keep track of.
I am always happy to combine on shipping....combined S/H prices for similiar items are listed at the end of every item description
I ship only to the USA unless approved prior to the sale. (I also ship to APO/FPO military addresses)
I ship via USPS from the west coast unless noted in the listing. Priority and First Class packages generally take 3-7 working days for delivery and Media Rate usually takes 1-2 weeks, but these time estimates are not guaranteed by the Post Office and your package might take longer.
I make trips to the Post Office on Tuesdays...Thursdays...and Saturdays. Your item will be shipped on those days immediately after your payment has been received.
Your purchase is packaged for shipment with extreme care often by a class of enthusiastic (but supervised) children from our local grade school.
All items are sold in "as-is" condition. Please read entire item description carefully and ask any questions prior to bidding and buying. If you would like additional photos or if I can make your shopping experience more relaxing and enjoyable in any way please contact me (at least 24 hours prior to end of listing) I answer all my e-mails generally within 24 hours although sometimes I do take Sundays off especially if the weather is nice or the Oakland Raiders are playing!
Thanks for the visit...hope to hear from you soon!
