All About MeWhat everyone should know about me
EVERY ITEM I SELL REALLY DOES COME FROM MY OWN COLLECTIONS, PLASTIC JEWELRY, BAKELITE, RESIN JEWELRY, LUCITE JEWELRY, 925 STERLING SILVER JEWELRY, GLASSWARE AND MORE! I offer what I personally LOVE collecting for myself for many years!
Things I sell
Although I've collected all kinds of jewelry in my life including 925 Sterling Silver,
14K,
18K,
22K and 24K gold,
platinum,
gemstones,
diamonds,
I prefer PLASTIC JEWELRY both new and old. Vintage Bakelite,
Resin,
Lucite,
and other plastics. I combine them with diamonds! I also love all kinds of glass and sell that as well sometimes. When I started on ebay,
my main business was glassware and gemstone precious metal jewelry. However,
my life long interest for the colorful and shiny objects and jewelry,
led me into a passion for PLASTIC JEWELRY. I look upon beautiful Bakelite,
Lucite,
and Great Resin pieces,
and any other plastics as wearable art,
kind of like a less fragile glass I can wear and take with me,
rather than look at it just on the shelf. What is better than to look at it on your arm or hands? I like Bangles,
bracelets and rings best,
and sell them the most in my favorite material,
PLASTIC! When you buy from me,
you are my twin,
because I usually own one of all that I sell! Things I buy

WHY I LOVE PLASTIC BANGLE BRACELETS AND RINGS!
It all began when I was very small. I have always found plastic objects fascinating to collect and play with. There is just something about looking at a beautiful plastic piece of jewelry that is so special. I can't explain the thrill it gives me to slip on something in a color or several colors I love, and look at it all day on my wrist or fingers. All the variations in color and width, shape and textures of different plastics, it's endlessly fascinating to me and I know that no matter how many bangles and rings I acquire in my life time, my collection will always be evolving and changing, as my tastes change, and that is why eBay is such a great place for me to be. I can immerse myself here in my world of plastic I've created, and have you join me here each week for something exciting and new, because my collection is always changing, and I am always adding and subtracting something each week. Obsessed with plastics? Please come join me in MY PLASTIC WORLD.
Business InformationHistory/background
I'd like to take a moment to tell all of my precious customers how much I appreciate all their business. Whether I see you once for one item, or like many, over and over again for multiple items, I strive to treat each one of you the way I'd expect to be treated by a seller on ebay who I am transacting with. I do expect to hear from you when you win an item from me, or even better, just go to Paypal and make your payment like I do, as soon as you win, so I don't have to come looking for you. 3 days is usually ample, but ask if you need more time, and I won't turn you down if you're a sincere buyer, I have a big heart! It's never easy to ask people for money, but that's what is expected when you win, so let's make it pleasant and simple. I only combine SAME WEEK auctions and NO EXCEPTIONS, but some people tend to think they will over rule me by holding off payment for a week so they can MAYBE win more. Doesn't work. I block anyone who doesn't pay within 7 days of the closing, sorry!
Payment policy
PAYPAL PLEASE! It's so fast and easy, it costs me alot, but it's free for you, so take advantage! I like it best as I am one of those typical New Yorkers who is always in a rush to get things done, that's why your items get to you so fast after you pay me. I like to get my work done fast and off my mind. This is why I make all my items end together, so you can combine and save money on shipping from the same weeks closings. Please don't ask me to wait another week because you MIGHT win an item then. It would be like you waiting for the paycheck you earned at work this week, to finally be paid to you next week. Plus you know ebay, who knows if you'll win, that's part of the fun! SO, as fast as you pay me, that's how fast I'll ship. Once you've bought it, I want it gone fast so I don't have to stare at it too long leading to my regrets about selling it! I appreciate when my International customers pay me as quickly as possible so I can make less trips to crowded NYC post offices! THANKS!
Shipping information
You'll always be acknowledged as soon as I see a payment post, I always appreciate all your fastest payments with a Thank you! You will always know when your item is shipped as well, because I will let you know the day it goes out and it's on the way every time you buy from me. I don't believe in just getting your payment and shipping your item with no communication, I don't like it as a buyer, and don't expect you to like it either. I believe in excellent buyer/seller communications and would like to hear from you or recieve a Paypal payment within 3 days of the closing since I only take PAYPAL. I hope you can let me know if I should expect a delay for any reason. On occasion if someone asks me first, I will sometimes accept a Postal USPS Money Order if asked BEFORE you bid please. All my International customers MUST use Paypal. I pack with care and ship FLAT RATES STATED ON LISTINGS, RATES ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE USPS 1st CLASS OR PRIORITY MAIL & USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL service.
Return policy
ALL SALES ARE FINAL SALES. Please buy in a department store if you like to try out items and make returns. I am thrilled that you've all been so thrilled with me, mostly because I take great care to be very accurate with descriptions and pictures, so please be responsible to read all the descriptions and look at all the pictures before winning my items. Once you've won my item, I do everything to make sure you get it fast and in the condition I describe. I am not responsible for knowing if an item will fit you or match your outfit you bought to wear it with, and will not accept returns for such unfair reasons. I measure every piece and state my findings on all auctions, so as long as you know your size, there should be no problem. I have posted a few guides on ebay in regard to sizing rings that many of you should find helpful. Please find them here on this page, or go to my reviews and guides icons, and click to view. Of course, buyers remorse is never acceptable on any auctions!
Contact information
If we agree to an alternate mailed form of payment, I will promptly let you know where to send your payment with my invoice. I believe in privacy so only winning bidders may have my contact information, call me a paranoid New Yorker! Speaking of which, I live in the greatest place in the world, The Beach at Coney Island in Brooklyn New York, I share this in some auction photos. Soon Coney Island is going to change completely, we are undergoing a transformation starting after Labor Day 2007. I can see the whole New York City skyline as well, watched sadly from my balcony on 911 as the World Trade Centers fell, and on a happy note, of course, I see NATHANS, the real original one! There is no place in the world I rather be, not Nathan's, CONEY ISLAND! It's been my home from the time I was 2 years old! I just want to make clear though, that when you buy my items, please don't expect me to send any Nathan's famous hotdogs in your package! I look foward to hearing from you here at ebay!
My Personal Thoughts On Feedback
Everyone likes to recieve positive feedback, and of course, I work hard to make sure every transaction I complete with you, is so wonderful, that you'll keep coming back. Since my repeat customers per month sometimes hit the 50% mark, I guess I am succeeding in my goal of being the best seller you ever bought from. If there is ever something you need to discuss with me about an item, make sure to contact me first before leaving feedback, as I do my best to fix the rare problem. I leave feedback upon receipt of your feedback usually, because I used to leave feedback first and many buyers never returned it. There is a new feedback system in place at ebay, so let's make sure we can all use it fairly and accurately.
