PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING:! The majority of my items are true vintage which means PRE-OWNED and PRE-LOVED - there may be surface wear ...to metal, a stone or two missing, etc, all commensurate with age of items. If your definition of VINTAGE is different, please do not bid on such items. Also, I package and ship extremely carefully but a stone or pinback can still get damaged in transit so please open the packages carefully. YOU HAVE 3-DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF ITEM TO CONTACT ME IF I HAVE GROSSLY MIS-DESCRIBED THE ITEM.
For your reading pleasure:!!1) I started selling on EBAY not long after they came into the picture and had over 13, 000 positive feedbacks. I quit when my husband became gravely ill. I am starting anew, but am not new to the game (I have just been on the bench for some time)!2) Many of my items are from my private collection and therefore I have knowledge of their history. Others are from estate sales and the like and I do my best to research and give accurate information. I have stacks of reference books, visit online sites and also rely on other wonderful EBAYers to help me out. But sometimes I have to resort to the SWAG method (Scientific Wild-Ass Guess). If you look at the items I list, I am not trying to sell something as vintage that may have been manufactured yesterday at who knows where. I am human and may overlook something.3) I welcome and encourage potential buyers to ask questions (please try to give me at least 24hrs prior to auction end to respond) and also encourage someone to point out if I have mis-stated an item....I will be happy to revise my add and add your message to the listing.4) What I will not welcome are whimsical buyers that choose not to read the entire description or look at all the photos, and certainly not those who approach me in a condescending manner with their comments (I AM TOO VINTAGE FOR THAT)!!I want this to be a fun and enjoyable experience for all of us - Now I will get off my soapbox and start listing!
Please note that I describe items to the best of my ability and items are sold "AS IS" and given the nature of my items no refunds will be accepted unless I have grossly mis-represented the item.
Please ask questions prior to bidding and at this time I am not selling internationally.
Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
