eBay My World: aunty_deluvian( 162)

I suppose the main thing people should know about me is that I attend auctions nearly every day. It's an obsession. I tend to focus on Victorian pieces but buy other items I hope people will appreciate as well.

I'll sell just about anything, really. There's a market for pretty much anything out there.

Art, painting, sculpting, airbrushing, writing, computer graphics, making music tracks with Sonar, my guitars, woodworking, antiques restoration, pretending I can sing.

I love books that come in a series and tend to gravitate towards sci-fi, fantasy and Anne Rice (when she isn't running her mouth), Stephen King (when he isn't adding crappy endings), Harlan Ellison (always excellent!), the Pern Dragon Novels, The Amber Chronicals by Zelazney, and anything that has to do with art.

Where Eagles Dare, The Godfather, Top Secret (funniest movie ever made!), The Matrix, Forrest Gump, Silence of the Lambs

Antiques Roadshow, CNN, and a bunch of shows that were good so they didn't last long.

Do the right thing and you'll never have to backtrack, Be kind to others and hope it's contageous, wear glasses if you need 'em.

I've done everything from jumping into the cooling systems of nuclear reactors to shooting pictures of beautiful women for a living. I've been told I was going to die (by doctors) three times and lived to tell the tales. But yesterday was kind of boring, actually.

Pretty much the same as all of us. I accept Paypal, checks (that must first clear), Money Orders (that must first clear, and gold. Note: If you are buying an item from me and choose to use gold it must be equal in weight to the item you are buying, especially if I'm selling you a car.

I prefer to ship UPS. The US postal service's web site is out of date and I always end up getting shorted on deals. Then again, the UPS guys won't insure anything unless they pack it and they charge extra for that. Did you kow that? It's true. If they don't pack it and it breaks your item is automatically defaulted as poorly packed and you're out of luck. Doesn't that suck?

I accept returns on some things and not on others. Read the listing. I'm always very straightforward on such matters.

If we're in a business relationship then Ebay lets you know all you need to know. Frankly, I don't know why they even put this section here to fill out. I guess some kid was trying to fatten up this area and justify his paycheck.

Aunty Deluvian is not my name. My real name is Chuck. The word 'antediluvian' is a play on words and means 'before the flood' or as it means in my case, 'an old fashioned person or thing'. I did not create this. I read it in an old Swamp Thing comic book back in the mid-70's and thought it had a nice ring to it so I borrowed the name. It sounds like a nice old trusted relative so I named my Ebay store after her.
