I've been selling practically my whole life, but began selling on Ebay in 2003. I started out selling on eBay using the computer at the public library, on one hour of internet access per day (and even achieved Power Seller status that way), but eventually I began to sell more than I could handle without doing it from home, and finally broke down and bought a computer. I love how eBay is a way anyone can start a business, with virtually no overhead and precious few supplies. Click on my 'me' link to find out more.

Personal Check and money order preferred, but I take Paypal due to popular demand.

FedEx is my favorite carrier, and I use it for most items that are more than five pounds. Things go out within three business days of payment, often sooner, barring any unusual circumstances. I use all recycled packing materials in order to keep shipping costs low and to keep mounds of packing supplies from entering the waste stream. If you buy a small item that goes First Class, there is a good chance my little assistant (shown in the beret) will hand-deliver it to the big blue mailbox a few houses down from us. He is always so proud to do it all by himself.

I don't have a return policy per se, but I want to be fair, and I want people to be happy. I don't think any of my customers ever felt stiffed, or that I was unresponsive when they had an issue.

If you have something you've been looking for, especially if it is a small appliance, kitchen item, or parts thereof, please let me know. I like to scour the secondhand stores, garage and estate sales, and other such places so you don't have to.

I've recently opened the eBay clearance store Laura's Last Ditch, because sometimes an item just has a difficult time finding a new home. But just because no one else wants it doesn't mean it's not meant just for you! Browse the possibly serendipitous selection of game pieces, small appliance parts, and a delightful hodgepodge of other goodies.
