eBay My World: fluteyc( 663)

I am always on the lookout for great bargains especially unique items. In the recent & past discoveries, I have found luggage, designer bags, calligraphy tools,wig cases & train cases,records.I come from a line of bargain hunters who love the hunt

I offer new & preowned items. The preowned items are often gently used & still in great condition. I also find brand new items that someone bought & for some reason did not use. I also have vintage & antique collectibles. Many items are outgrown, no longer go with the new decor or were passed down in an estate. I have found doll houses, kid's toys, clothing, bags & accessories, vintage buttons & craft items, Valentine novelties, Christmas decor, wig boxes, calligraphy pens & so much more. Some items are tempting to keep & I have relinquished things I really loved..like a gorgeous dinner ring! The Kors bag was a keeper..but I let it go...to find more great things. It all comes back to me...in the recycling process.

I have purchased things on eBay myself, such as a pool cover, packaging materials, a vintage manicure set, a Kingston Trio CD for my oldest brother who was a fan, soap rocks, a tiny gem for my sister's birthday (she couldn't see it!), a pool pump, chemicals, a large tarp and more. My experiences were positive; except for one item shipped in a cereal box. I enjoy browsing through stores for gift giving; avoiding crowded malls & long lines. You find so many unique things online in the comfort of your home.

I am not a collector of any one particular thing. I get enthusiastic about lighthouses, seashells, paintings, outdoor globes, lively good music, flowers & plants and the simple things in life. Combining nature in art is exciting; a rainbow over a scenic mountain view makes me happy! I also like rocks; my brother & sister-in-law were rock hounds. They combined their rock/natural gem passion with river rafting & discovered a multitude of natural treasures. My sister-in-law makes quality natural stone necklaces & bracelets in her spare time.

English

Flute, Painting, Crafts, Gardening, Swimming and Reading & Estate sales!

Dean Koontz & Patricia Cornwell books (all good) and I enjoy reading books about famous people, places & things.

CSI, House, Boston Legal & the South Park Kids can be outrageously funny!

I have worked in sales & service, and it has given me insight into prioritizing and communications. I hate waiting, and I guess that's why I want to ship immediately; waiting for a payment to clear can be like waiting in the Wally World check out line.

There is only one payment method: PAYPAL

Shipping is outlined on my eBay auction page below the description. Shipping will either be a stated flat rate or a calculated rate. You simply enter your shipping zip code in the box provided & the amount will be displayed for each carrier. If shipping includes insurance in the shipping & handling, it will be stated. Otherwise, you can include this amount when paying. All packages are shipped to the confirmed address & Delivery Confirmation is included providing a tracking number. Combined shipping is very practical in terms of eliminating the cost of shipping per item Items that can be packaged compatibly, such as adding items into a train case or adding some clothing with a bag, would be easy to ship in one box. Often, a priority flat rate box will hold several items of clothing for one fixed rate. I am always happy to work out the best scenario to meet your needs.

I describe items as thoroughly as possible along with photos showing closeups of the item. I state whether an item is preowned or not as well as normal wear condition. You are welcome to ask any questions before bidding to verify this. This helps bidders with all the details & prevents them from bidding blindly. If the item is fragile, it is the buyer's responsibility to insure it unless coverage is included in the shipping cost.

You can always contact me via my eBay mail site. I routinely check for messages and I also check listings for inquiries.

If you pay promptly & your package has been delivered successfully I will be happy to note this in form of a positive feedback comment. Please contact me as soon as your package has been delivered & let me know how you like your item. Unless I hear from you, I don't have a clue. It is always a great feeling to know the transaction went well & you are appreciated. Not everyone has time to worry about leaving comments. If you should leave a feedback, please be sure you don't mistakenly press the negative if you mean positive ~ it is very difficult to correct the error after it is entered.

Choosing a carrier differs according to the weight, timeline, special care & of course, cost. Parcel Post is best for bulky, non fragile items that ship easily. Priority works best for fragile or delicate items that need a little extra attention. Delivery time is provided but not written in stone. When time is of the essence, Priority mail is the winner. UPS has been wonderful when sending large or bulky items that may be awkward. I've shipped suitcases & other luggage without any problem. Package insurance is included with shipping. You must use a physical shipping address rather than a post office box to ship this way. if you plan to be gone when delivery is expected, leave a signed note for the UPS driver so they will know the best time to return or where you want to leave your package.
