eBay My World: bradlibbeyathotmail( 2005)

I love silverware. I have had an interest in it since I was a child, and have collected it for years. My personal collections include a complete set of Fleur de Luce, and a huge set of Deauville, including many pieces of hollow ware.

I sell Community and Oneida silverware from the early 1900's through the 1940's. I have recently started expanding my horizons to include patterns I have not typically carried in the past, such as Queen Bess, Forever, and Evening Star, to name a few. I am soon going to start selling Oneida Sterling as well (I can't wait!)

I buy tons of silverware and other junk. In the real world, I sell real estate. When the real estate market is slow, I will often sell other items that I find at estate sales and tag sales.

When I am not selling real estate, you might find me on a roller coaster at Six Flags, or playing Poker in Atlantic City. You might also find me at a slot machine or bungee jumping in Las Vegas. And on a sunny summer day, you will find me in my garden, covered from head to toe in bug repellant and dirt, weeding or planting or pruning.

I know it's not a book, but I read Consumer Reports every month like my life depended on it.

Judge Judy, Malcolm in the Middle, King of the Hill and any of the TV News Magazines like Dateline and Primetime are all my favorites.

Over 10 years of customer service, 2 years as a Physical Therapist Assistant, and over 7 years as a Realtor. I opened my Ebay store in July of 2004.

Paypal is fine, but I REALLY prefer money orders. Paypal is outrageously expensive for sellers to accept. This is the reason why shipping two ounces is going to cost you, the buyer, 4 dollars.

I usually ship items 5 days a week.

In most cases, unless I state in the auction otherwise, your money back if not delighted. Just return your item within 7 days. I even refund your original shipping charge. I will add here, that for all of the thousands of transactions I have had, I have NEVER had a return.

My contact infornation is available by request for buyers and sellers that I have had transactions with.

Keep in mind, when I select a shipping amount, it will be higher than the actual shipping amount. Please consider the listing fees and the final value fees charged to me from Ebay. Add to that an outrageous Paypal fee (2.9% + 30 cents). Then consider the cost of the box, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, and packing tape. If I have to fill out a customs form, my time is valuable. Gasoline is a huge expense. And while I don't add a premium for the gas in my fees, I still drive to the Post Office or shipping store. So please, don't assume that I am going to charge you the actual shipping amount to ship and item. In most cases, the buyer is paying for part of it in the shipping charge, and I am am absorbing part of it in the price if the item sold.

I do not leave feedback for buyers until it has been left for me. The reason I do this is to ensure that the buyer is satisfied with the transaction. I make every reasonable accomodation to make a buyer happy with a transaction and in most cases will gladly accept a return. I even refund the original shipping amount. In spite of this, there have been a small handful of buyers who have left me neutral or negative feedback without giving me an opportunity to correct the situation. My overall feedback speaks for itself. If you try to get a partial refund on your item (and still keep the item....yup, it has happened) because of buyer remorse you will be disappointed. A buyer can return the item for a full refund, or keep the item. FEEDBACK WILL BE LEFT IN KIND, once it has been left for me.
