eBay My World: deckogecko( 690)

I love what I do. The search for items is a treasure hunt, and I win each time I find something beautiful, unique, and high quality for my buyers. I set my prices carefully, basing them on an item's condition, value and original purchase price.

I focus on vintage, but also sell designer clothing and retro/vintage smalls.

Collectible vintage books by my favorite authors (Dickens, Austen, etc.) Antique terrier items in moderation. Mid-century modern paintings and furnishings. Vintage fabric by the boxful. And, of course, vintage clothing.

Reading, Film Noir (my store name is based upon this passion!), Foreign/Indie films, Prowling estate sales/shops/flea markets, Cooking

I ship as cheaply and expediently as possible. Within the U.S. and Canada, I ship Priority except when requested to do otherwise. For international shipping, I use First Class unless requested to do otherwise. I do not charge a handling charge for domestic shipping unless I must purchase special packing materials. I charge a $2 handling fee for all international buyers, due to the cost of special shipping materials and the fact that the United States does not have automated machines for international shipping services.

I accept returns on most items unless I specify otherwise within the auction description. Returns for fit or sizing are not permitted except in special cases (e.g., I made a mistake in the measurements or stated size). Refunds include return shipping, but not the original shipping cost.
