eBay My World: leslier( 1501)

Photo of me taken June 2006 in Las Vegas - I was there for eBay Live. I love books. I love to look at books, read books, buy books, discuss books, and finally, when I have no more room left on my bookshelf, I list it and let it go to a new home.

I sell cookbooks, crocheting, knitting, weaving, quilting, patchwork, decorative painting, miniature, and other, craft books. I sell, biographies, business books, children's books, Cookbooks, knitting, crochet, quilting, art, atlas, atlases, geography, biography, history, magazines, metaphysical, military, music, psychology, religion, science, self-help, sports, transportation, cars, auto, sailing, boating, vintage, rare, paperback, childrens books, Shirts, from music and other shows and other items.

I collect, recipe booklets, and dead relatives - genealogy is my main hobby - though i prefer finding live relatives - usually third and fourth cousins.

I was a computer programmer in the 70s - days of punch cards and rooms filled with machines. Then I was a stay-at-home mom. Then I got a computer and discovered eBay - what fun!

Checks, money orders, Paypal, I once got payment thru Western Union but that was from a foreign country - I don't think they had Paypal there. I'm not supposed to ask for cash and I prefer other methods, but several times a buyer in a foreign country asked if he could send cash and it worked out OK. My cousin in Germany once sent me cash to buy her something and wrapped it in aluminum foil - I always suggest that when someone asks about sending cash - prevents anyone from seeing thru it.

I live in a small mobile home so I like to get things mailed out as soon as possible - within 2 business days - or sooner. Media mail is unpredictable - it can take anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks or more. Because the price for media mail is low, it's prioirty with the Post Office is also low - if there is room on the plane or truck, it goes - if no room, it sits. If you need a book within a certain time, Priority mail is the way to go. I can ship most books by Priority Mail for $5.50.

I'm not a book professional - just a book lover. I describe any flaws as best I can. I want you to be happy with your purchase. If there is a problem, please let me know as soon as possible and I will try to resolve it so you are happy. Returns are accepted if the item is not as described. Shipping insurance is your option and will cover you in case the item is lost or damaged in the mail.

you can reach me at lrrubinson@yahoo.com or 760-295-9083. I am in California, Pacific time. If you call me, please not before 8 AM or after 9 PM. Thanks.
