The pic is my mom and me on a tour of Duplin Winery, Rose Hill, NC last month. It was Duplin's 35th anniversary and a blast. We picked grapes (yummy), sampled 14 different wines BEFORE lunch, and Mama Pat participated in the grape stomping contest.

I lived and worked in Houston for 20 years in both the oil & gas industry as well as legal since I also have a Paralegal certificate. I grew weary of the fast pace, TRAFFIC, smog, crime and working 10-12 hours a day and weekends. My parents moved to Myrtle Beach after they retired, and I thought it would be fun to spend some time with them and moved to Myrtle Beach. I knew I would have to make some lifestyle changes due to lower salaries, but living under a bridge and eating cat food wasn't in my game plan! ;-) I started selling VS overstocks about 4 years ago to supplement my paltry income, and in 2007 after I made Power Seller, I quit my awful day job to be a FT ebayer. Now I work 7 days a week, but at my own pace.

PayPal only. Payment is generally expected within 7 days after auction closes. If for some reason you have a problem with it, just email me. I really don't like filing disputes or unpaid strikes.

I generally ship within 2 business days after receipt of cleared payment. When you are trying to decide on whether to give me a 5 star rating, please note according to eBay's help section: When rating sellers on shipping time, rate the seller on the time it took them to mail the item, not the time it took you to receive the item. You shouldn’t hold sellers responsible for delays in mail services, international custom delays or for the time it took for your payment to clear.

Because of the nature of the products I sell, all sales are Final. However, if there is damage that I missed when I listed it (since I am human), please give me the courtesy of an email BEFORE leaving neutral or negative feedback. I will try my best to make the situation right!

I try to keep my shipping costs as low as possible. However, due to the recent increase in postage, as well the the rising costs of gas (I drive to/from the post office every day), I have to raise my prices slightly to cover the increased costs. So when deciding on whether to give me a 5 star rating, please note according to eBay's help section: When rating the seller on shipping and handling charges, remember that sellers may charge actual packaging materials costs and a REASONABLE HANDLING fee to cover the seller’s time and direct costs associated with shipping. For international transactions, you may also be responsible for duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees as requested by country laws.

I primarily sell VS overstocks (retail & catalog). Because VS is getting harder to find and more expensive, I've started selling other brands of fine lingerie. An overstock does not always mean its going to be in as perfect condition as you would find in a store or online. There may be incorrect labels, stitching or color variations, snags, picks, wrinkles, creases and smudges from being stored in warehouses and shipping. I try to note the obvious flaws when I list the bras, however, if the bra is irregularly sized I have no way of knowing. I'm not an employee of VS, and I don't try on every bra I buy. Please keep that in mind when you're purchasing a $48 VS bra for half price or less. Also note the VS logo tags (also known as the Victoria's Secrets labels) are either removed or defaced before I receive them. This removal is done by the wholesalers and in accordance with VS company policy. I buy first quality, factory overruns, shelf pulls, samples & catalog returns.
