My Gal Friday business became a full service staffing and recruiting firm with offices in two states. And, a business I intended to franchise a few years later resulted in a 25 year career in Personnel Services, Outplacement Counseling, Interview Training, Resume Writing, Executive Retained Search, Office & Accounting Temporary Staffing........so now I have embraced eBay for the luxuries it provides my new state of mind, which is basically selling my stuff in my commfies and Rod Stewart hair and not having to survive through yet another recession . (Staffing industry is a leading economic indicator when the economic indicator was unemployment numbers.)

Pay Pal Bank or Postal Money Orders

I will generally ship the day following payment. Never more than two days after the auction! And sometimes, the same day as payment! I want this stuff out of here!!!!

Items that have been removed from their packaging and used by the recipient in any way such as: performing testing of any type, displaying for evaluation purposes; handling by parties other than the purchaser; temporarily removing the item from the shipped address for appraisal or evaluation purposes can be returned for a refund upon approval of the returned condition. If the item is not returned in the condition in which it was shipped, a full refund may not be warranted or extended. All shipping charges are at the expense of the buyer unless the item was grossly misrepresented in the listing information or photographs.

Please do not call me. I am near my computer all times of the day, just email me and a response will follow so quickly, you'll have already forgotten the question!

All research is done in good faith. Purchases should be based on the knowledge, judgment and decision of the buyer. All information provided in my listings is based on research conducted exclusively by me and should be verified or confirmed by the buyer. I do not mention quality control issues or manufacturing flaws in my listings as I am not experienced in how any item was intended to made, painted, molded or designed. It is the entire responsibility of the buyer to view every photograph enlarged to see what condition issues relative to molding, firing, glazing, attaching, painting and design matters. Most items I sell are antique and all are used unless stated and therefore not perfect. Please do not return items because you did not read my listing or view every one of my photographs, or if you wish to, I will refund the purchase price, but not shipping charges to and from. See my return policy. I will state condition issues regarding use or damage to the piece.

I enthusiastically welcome and encourage appropriate offers when that is an option for you. Don't be shy! Here's the skinny on making offers with me-- Research similar items on eBay or Shopping at Google and compare prices. If you feel my price is too high, make an offer that you feel is appropriate for your budget and current or past sales comparables. My business is targeted to collectors, there is no tage sale here. I do not double my Buy it Now price so that your half price offer seems reasonable. Doesn't work and this is where the aforementioned grumpy comes in. Make your best offer first and it will be accepted or rejected very quickly. List of items as an opportunity to make an offer usually means there is a little wiggle room. Ridiculous offers that I receive for any of my items usually results in an addition to my block bidder's list.
