In the beginning....all I wanted to do was get rid of the approximately 250 jigsaw puzzles taking up a lot of space in my house.  I sold the puzzles...and made enough money to go visit my daughter who was living in Finland at the time! 

But, after I sold all of my puzzles, I missed the eBay experience, so I opened my first eBay store about March 2003.  I operated Beth's Hodge Podge from then until November 2004 at which time I closed my store to prepare for my family's January 2005 move to Indiana  

Now I am more-or-less settled in Indiana...and am ready to "get back to business."  When I reopened my new store, I gave it a new name...Puzzle Palooza.

About the things I sell....I want all of my customers to have a positive eBay experience.  You will notice that most of my listings are more detailed than many listings.  I do this so that my customers will have no surprises when they open the package from me.

As a rule, I assemble all used jigsaw puzzles.  So, when I list a puzzle as complete you can be sure that it is.  If I did not assemble a used puzzle, my listing will tell you that.

More than 90 percent of the books I sell are not new to me.  Many of the childrens' books have the appearance of never having been read.  These I describe as like new...because they are!  I flip through each book, looking for torn and/or stained pages.  If there is a name...or anything else...written in the book, I will tell you.

Because I want all of my customers to have a positive experience, any item you purchase from me can be returned as you received it for a refund of your purchase price...no questions asked.
