eBay My World: ralphrides( 207)

Honesty about what I sell on ebay. I only sell what I myself would buy. If it does not work I do not sell it (except as parts). Since its a hobby, it has to be fun and worth my time to list it. I do not sell low quality, you get quality.

I tend to over collect things, right now I specialize in watches of all types. I collect and repair them. I do it as a hobby. I specialize in analog quartz and all types of automatic mechanicals and antique pocket. I have repaired and serviced Elgin, Rolex, Tag, Wittnauer, Cartier, Omega, Invicta, Tissot, Russian (Vostok, Poljot, Molnia), Seiko, Timex, China (Asian) automatics, Swiss Army, Wenger, Rado, you name it, I have re-built or repaired them all. My success rate is 99%. For estimates contact me. My specality is currently submariners, datejust and seamasters. I restore stainless and gold bands and cases. I fix things other shops have no interst in. I really need to charge more.

Watches, Disney items, Beanie Babies (will start to resell them soon), small electronic and car parts (I specialize in Apple and Corvette), jewelry, some gem stones. I specialize in man made sapphire stones.

Right now mostly watches, and antique and new Disney collectables for display. Some clocks, watch repair tools for use in my hobby. I also tend to buy DVD movies for my collection. Some music for my iTunes library too.

English, French, Italian

Watches of course, clocks, beanie babies, watch and jewelry tools, gardening, fine cigars and drinks to go with them, computer graphics with my Apple hard/software (just because its easy and fun with Apple :), 1970-80 Corvettes, now a new C6, amature furniture and fine wood work, environmental issues, MTN biking, I love to snowboard powder but its getting so hard to find with global warming :( I love Box turtles too, ask me a question, I have taken care of them for over 40 years, they are soo cool!

Any good plot SciFi, horror, adventure movies, anything goes with me, movies like: Out of Africa, English Patient too with on location filming.

Everclear, most clasic Christmass, classic and classic sounding rock and roll, this is strange, I find Euro Trance music soothing in iTunes using my noise canceling headphones, wierd huh?

Star Trek all, SG1, any learning/history/discovery shows.

Too much Bass in neighbors outdoor stereos, and Boom Boom cars, and those cheap thumping sub-woofers. Get full fidelity speakers and turn the bass boost OFF! They really are agravating! People that run over poor turtles, they need your help (the turtles)! People who lie and cheat and steal, and break ebay contracts!

Anything goes, just have to clear the bank.

I have to cover my overhead so please read my shipping and handling as NOTED in each of my auction items and be real about value.

Since I don't even break even in 1 out of 3 sales, I can't take most items back, its a hobby. But if I messed up and missed something contact me, I can fix most items, replace dead batteries, make it right for a really low repair fee. So let me know what went wrong and I can offer a much less than a jeweler repair cost. I might be slow but I am low cost and damn good. Contact me for other jewelry and watch repairs too for a quote :)
