All About MeWhat everyone should know about me
This eBay thing is really just a hobby for me...it is not my day job & I don't take it too seriously. It started with a garage cleaning, where we found some relics. Also I like creative writing... what better way to do so than lame sales pitches!
Things I sell
DAD's Top Five Selling Rules
1)Lightweight items. Ones that can be shipped USPS first class,
under 13 ounces. Easy,
Fast,
Cheap. Exceptions are typically books,
which ship easily,
but can be heavy. Occasionally Media Rate is used to keep costs down.
2) Fun items. Items that appeal to me or perhaps a family member,
especially books.
3) Top condition items. I look for excellent condition / unused items,
particularly clothing & books.
4)Rarities / Collectibles. If I'm certain an item will have a buyer & the price is right,
I'll get it.
5) Not Too Valuable. More hobby,
less job. I don't depend on this income,
I don't want the stress of high-stakes transactions Things I buy

e-bay philosophy
I'm not out to make big $$, & I'm not out to take advantage of anyone. I make a conscientious effort to make sure I accurately describe an item so people understand what they are getting, but if you have any questions or doubts, PLEASE ASK! Also, I make an effort to ship at least 2x / week, so items should arrive fairly promptly. My pet peeve is people who win their bids & then go for 1-2+ weeks w/ no purchase, or even communication after polite prompting.
Business InformationHistory/background
this is not business... more hobby / pleasure. been at it since we cleaned garage in fall'07.
Payment policy
Paypal is so easy, it is preferred, but I'm really quite flexible.
Shipping information
so far w/ usps - usually 1st class. I'll Ship across the Globe...rule of thumb is $1 per ounce for international postage. Bonus info...if the item goes well above my expectations, i waive shipping. I've also been known to add an extra bonus gift on occasion!
Return policy
I have 2 returns in over 400 sales (12-2008) Good communication typically resolves these matters. But if you are not happy, I'll work w/ you. If you are nasty or insulting, you will be blocked from future purchases
