On Selling
If it didn't sell last week, then this week I'll reduce/raise the item a calculated percentage of my initial price or there a'bouts as the mood takes me. So, if I were you I'd come back and take another look . . . . . . . But, as you know, if that bargain was there yesterday, it's gone tomorrow. Happy eBaying . . . . . . . PLEASE NOTE: IF I SEE ONE OF MY IMAGES BEING USED TO ADVERTISE AN ACTION FIGURE THAT IS NOT MINE I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REPORT IT, I WORKED HARD and TOOK GREAT CARE IN CREATING THESE IMAGES and ALL YOU DID WAS TO COPY MY JPEGS AS IF THEY WERE YOUR OWN and POST THEM, THAT IS DECEITFUL, DISHONEST and FALSE ADVERTISING . . . . To the best of my knowledge I DO NOT sell counterfeit cuff links, I won the ones that I posted from other eBay sellers in Asia and I feel as if I'm being persecuted for it, while there are still 32 other sellers dealing the exact same items, nothing is done to punish them. Thank you for the vote of confidence Warner Brothers; think BOYCOTT.
Business InformationHistory/background
I have a Fine Arts background, a degree in Photography and learned to do things the old-fashioned way. I have spent the last thirty years as a Graphic Designer . . . . . . . I'm also a big Apple/Mac user and fan; and at my age I'm kinda getting tired of the 9 to 5.
Payment policy
PayPal ONLY at this time (NO MORE Money Orders) . . . . . . . and, if I do not receive payment within 7 days I will report it and relist the item WITHOUT remorse. If I win one of your items I pay IMMEDIATELY, I expect the same respect I give you . . . . . . . If I win something from you and it is not delivered I WILL make a claim AND leave a VERY negative feedback after one month. I keep meticulous records and track everything; if I lose, you lose . . . . . . . and STOP posting stuff you do not have.
Shipping information
I have a PO Box. NO UPS, NO FedEx, NO DHL and NO International Shipping (south of the continental United States), it's just too much trouble, sorry . . . . . . . I use ONLY new materials for my packaging, I ship with PayPal ONLY, I include a packing slip and take it personally to the Post office. I post ONLY Priority Mail, it gives me the least amount of angst. I've found it a safe and secure way of shipping, as long as you go from PO Box to PO Box (w/Delivery Confirmation). When it's left on a doorstep it can be misdirected, please be SURE someone is there . . . . . . . and PLEASE leave even a nominal feedback so I will know, at the very least, that the item has arrived and you are satisfied with it. If you have an address, make sure it is accurate, because the USPS will not allow me to print a shipping label.
Return policy
I won it, it's mine; You won it, it's yours.
Satisfaction Guaranteed . . . . . . . I will honor all claims if they are responsible and honest, so eMail me and we can work it out.

On Bidding and Winning
I am not only disappointed and disheartened by those who win one of my items and fail to pay for it, neglecting to respond to invoices and all attempts for contact. Their silence and abuse of trust by taking that item off the market for an unnecessary amount of time truly steams the cheese. This hurts everyone. If you CAN NOT pay for it, DO NOT bid on it. From now on I will NOT be generous or flexible. You have taken most of the fun out of this and turned it into a part time job . . . . . . . And please DO NOT win an item one week and then expect me to combine shipping with the following weeks' auction just so you can save a little money on shipping, my ONLY recourse is to put you on my blocked list and make it impossible for you to bid on any of my items ever again.
On International and Fraudulent Selling
DO NOT let greed ruin your life . . . . . . . Everything is reciprocal and transitory. If you fail to get your price, live with the sale and own up. If you can't afford it, don't do it!!! . . . . . . . I can NO longer offer shipping to Latin American countries at this time, please DO NOT bid on any of my items, I will NOT ship to you. All OTHER International Bidders are WELCOMED and ENCOURAGED to trade with me . . . . . . . My trust and confidence in the sellers and buyers from countries south of the continental United Sates have been totally destroyed by my continuing problems I have been having with these children and scam artists. My apologies . . . . . . . as of March 27th, I am on eBay 1 year.
