eBay My World: compubear( 6009)

If I don't have something listed that you are interested in, send me an email. If I don't have it I will put it on my 'list' of things to look for at the next auction, or flea market, or antique store.

I like to attend auctions and estate sales, etc. I love old and vintage items, so I tend to deal in antiques, and antiquities. From stoneware, china, art glass, jewelry, and just about everything in between!

I go in favorite 'phases'. Up until now I mostly purchased tools and supplies for our drywall and painting business. However, we had to close the business down and sold all of our tools. Other than that, I usually buy other supplies for the household.

The ONLY thing I currently collect is DUST. Everything else is for sale--some are just priced higher because although I hate to part with something I love, eventually it will move on to someone else anyway! It just depends on how quickly I can get it listed. I do, however, find that I am extremely reluctant to sell any Fenton Art Glass, but eventually everything gets listed.

I love gardening. This summer we put out another huge vegetable garden, and I've added lots of flowers to our landscaping. I harvested seeds from last years plants for this years growth, and started them in our greenhouse. I also collect teddy bears, play the piano, and like to read.

Animalia....everyone should own one. I'm also a fan of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Douglas Preston and Lincold Childs, Robin Cook---I go for the unusual in my reading, as I already have enough reality. Although, if I am intrigued by someone, I will read a biography.

Dune (the original), The Stand, Soldier, Stargate, Independence Day, The Lost Boys, The Princess Bride, Robin Hood Men in Tights, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, movie musicals like Camelot, The King and I, West Side Story, etc.

Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, The Carpenters, Neil Diamond, The Beatles, Paul McCartney, Wings, Hall & Oates, Barry Manilow, broadway musicals, many many many more.

American Idol, the original Miami Vice, Deadwood, 24, Sopranos, CSI, anything on Animal Planet or Discovery, Meerkat Manor (Sean Astin is a great narrator), The History Channel, etc.

I believe in Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I have faith and hope and love, and I know I am loved by Him, even when I don't deserve it.

How much time do you have, and are you really interested? I was born the youngest of five girls, and raised Roman Catholic. My family was musical. All of us played the piano, organ (at church, for funerals, weddings, etc., which meant going to Mass sometimes eight times a week). My sisters and I also sang in the choir, participated in recitals, competitions, you name it. I tend to LOVE musicals, whether it is a movie or theatre production. My favorite composers include Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice duo, Bethooven, or all of the classical masters. I have four children, three grandchildren, and two step-children, with 2 step grandchildren. I have a long list of achievements, including being a published poet, my biography appears in Marqui's Who's Who, Who's Who in American Women, Sterlings Who's Who, and winning the Dale Carnegie Highest Award for Achievement. However, all of that pales in comparison to my biggest blessing of all...my husband Joe.

I accept Paypal, but prefer a postal money order or personal check. Of course the latter will need time to clear the bank before I ship anything, unless you have a great feedback rating. It used to be easy to cash money orders, but now that these are so easily forged, my bank treats them like a check and I have to wait for them to clear.

I ship usually on Mondays only.

Item must be returned within 3 days for a refund. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may return it for a refund no greater than the auction ending price, less ten percent restocking fee and any applicable ebay fees. Shipping and insurance either way is not refundable.

I prefer to be contacted via email only, as I'm usually away from the phone.

In August 2005 I almost lost the love of my life, my husband Joe. He was diagnosed with DAH, and no idea what caused it. It is an autoimmune disorder, and he was losing blood into his lungs. Quite scary, but fortunately we had a wonderful doctor/cardiologist. He was put on oxygen and tons of medication, and after about a year he was able to discontinue use. Although not quite back to normal, we were never sure if he was just in remission, or cured. In January 2007 we found out for sure...and he is once again in the hospital, although due to be released soon. The last time he was admitted, we had no insurance and ran up a quarter of a million dollars of medical debt. This time around we do have insurance, but have a huge deductible. So I am selling some of our most beloved items, as this will now be our full time income. If you are a believer, please say a prayer for Joe's continued improvement, and thanks so much.

I went to an auction and purchased tons of beautiful jewelry. It is all first class, including Monet, Napier, Trifari, Liz Claiborn, Ginvenchy, and more. Now, if I'm am at a sale I purchase more. So if you love jewelry, be sure to add me to your favorite sellers list and check back often.
