All About MeWhat everyone should know about me
I am honest, trustworthy, & I love animals. The more of them in my life the happier I am. Domestic, wild, or just cute, fuzzy stuffed ones. I love the outdoors & a good shoot em up western movie. I hate people who lie, steal, are cruel & heartless.

Payment policy
Paypal, US Funds, USPS Postal, Canada Post, or Western Union Money orders only. International buyers MUST use Paypal only. No exceptions. I do not accept checks from anyone even GOD ALMIGHTY!!!! If you chose not to purchase the optional postal insurance & the package is lost/damaged in transit, I will not be held responsible. I am tired of the USPS costing me money because they do not want to be held accountable for packages once they are mailed. It is NOT my fault & I will NOT refund your money!! If you do not pay for an item that you won on auction within 7 days, I will send a reminder. Then, if you chose to ignore my reminder & not contact me, I will open an unpaid item dispute against you on the 10th day. I will not tolerate people who bid & then do not want to pay for the item. Please remember, your item ships the day after its been paid for, so if you paid me on the Saturday after an auction ended, it will be shipped that next Monday. Also E-checks take the longest to clear.
Shipping information
All items usually ship within 24 hours of payment & are well packed. Shipping delays sometimes occur due to technical difficulties, bad weather, holidays, or illness. Handling charges are always added to shipping costs. For those of you who DON'T know what handling charges are, it's an extra charge sellers add to cover the HIGH cost of shipping materials like, boxes, padded envelopes, zip lock bags, bubble wrap, air cushion bags, packing peanuts, tape, shipping labels, printer ink, Fragile, Do Not Bend or Crush, stickers or self inking stamps, or any other materials used to get your item safely to you. These items MUST be used, & are added to the cost of postage. Also most of you don't realize that everytime you use your credit card through the convenient, safe, PayPal option, the sellers are charged fees on the total amount, including shipping costs! This is why some sellers don't accept the Paypal option at all. It costs us sellers money!! Please understand all this before bidding.
Return policy
No returns on Collectables unless mis-represented. All vintage items are sold as is. Handmade jewelry returned for manufacturing defects only.
Combined Shipping
Due to the wide variety of weight of the items I sell, I give shipping discounts for multiple items according to their combined weight. It is the only fair way to calculate the shipping charges depending on what is bought at any one time. I combine shipping on what is bought during a 7 day period from Sunday thru Sunday. I do not combine shipping charges on items of $1.99 or less or keyhole escutcheons. These items are already at a bare bones price, & I simply cannot afford to sell them any cheaper.
