All About MeWhat everyone should know about me
I am NOT AN Ebay BUSINESS. I do tax accounting half the year and construction the other half. I spend as much time as possible with my family and friends. We sell stuff to allow more space and time for family, friends and current interests.

My dad told me, Help others solve their problems and you won't have any.. That works. Abraham Lincoln said A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet.
Glen Archer, my sunday school teacher taught me, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. From an old poem, Go placidly amid the noise and haste.. From a poster on my wall when I didn't have money for a frame, Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves. From the Jack Daniels Distillery Toasting Club, May you have the good luck to find a true heart and the wisdom to keep them.
From me, Life is too short to buy or sell junk. I won't. And also from me, One job finished is better than ten jobs started. and last, It is important to enjoy each moment. God will assigne someone else to finish whatever work I don't. Ebay said no quote marks.
Business InformationHistory/background
Have been self employed most of my life. Have owned eight businesses over the years and most turned out ok. Family has been in the US for hundreds of years since late 1600's but I am not an elitist about that. That was just a biological accident and some good but inadvertent record keeping, not my fault. Born in Georgia and
grew up in Florida, Dad worked at the Cape and was in the Space Race in 50's and 60's. I studied engineering at U of F before service and business after here in SD, CA. Grad work in accounting MBA program and Law School here also. Was in service 5 1/2 years, 1966-1971, three tours in Vietnam. They missed. Was on 3 Apollo recovery missions. I am a healthy, happy well balanced Veteran, a gainfully employed home owner w/ kids, not homeless & do not need a hand out but I am working on some RE projects & really could use another nine million dollars. Smiling. Not broke but current Real Estate slump has impacted my financial statement. Will pass soon I hope.
Payment policy
Paypal, please. If you want to do a postal money order or e-check, it is ok but you must be patient.
Shipping information
We try to ship the same day or next business day Monday through Friday. If the shipping is low, it will likely be parcel post. If practical, we will ship USPS priority mail. If purchaser is out of US, go to USPS.com shipping calculator. Estimate weight, add for tracking and insurance from 92020. Thanks.
Return policy
We don't have a return policy. Every item is a unique transaction but so far, NO ONE still has a complaint. If it isn't as represented we will work to resolve every issue. We have never failed to accept a return or cancellation but absolutely do not have a return policy. Everything is believed to be as represented or better. Our goal is to clear our storage and free up time for Family. This is not a business for profit & I do not want to be in a shipping and RECEIVING business and if something is not right, will resolve it. If there is any confusion, anything can be returned within reason. We are not a business so it is unlikely we will have another to replace it. Sometimes, I buy an accumulation, lot or collection to get an item and then sell the rest. I cannot know the condition of everything but I will not ever intentionally deceive. No time for junk or scams. Just happy times.

Email is best. If you need a call, leave a number and I will try if time allows but really do have a lot of other stuff going on. I apologize if we should inadvertently give the wrong information or fail to respond before a deadline. It is not intentional. I have help with the sales, listing and shipping and they do their best. Feedback remains perfect for the moment and we try to keep it that way. Hope yours is too.

I am likely at Church from 10 to 1 PST on Sundays, maybe more.
Email and Calls.
We will make reasonable efforts to respond to all emails and if we miss, to return all calls. I do not ususally take a lot of time for chit-chat. If you like me, great. If you nominate me for office I will not run. If elected, I will not serve. Right now, you might like me but once in office, I am unlikely to do any better than those before. Usually, I try to be apolitical. I am not apathetic, just busy.
Business Hours and Rules
On the door of my personal office, it says, LIVWELL, DOLITTLE & SITMORE. T. Helms, Prop. That is supposed to be funny. If you didn't get it first time, read it again. If it ever becomes unpleasant to work with me, please don't. I am sure if you get unhappy with someone, they are usually just about as unhappy with you. Life is too short to buy or sell junk and way to short to deal with unpleasant people. If you feel I am, PLEASE spend the rest of your life working with some other person. Mine is way too short to ever waste your time or make you unhappy. If I do, I will make a best effort to resolve our differences but will not work with you again. It is not personal, it is just policy. Slow paying buyers will have their purchases cancelled after FOUR days. Not because I am concerned for the payment but because we are ONLY selling this stuff to be rid of it, not to keep checking on the payment. Life is short. I am Smiling. Life is very good. I hope yours is. God Bless.
