We are a Non-Smoking home.
We do have a cat.
Unless
stated, spots on photos are glare or reflections of light and/ or color
of nearby objects while photographing. I sometimes show photos in
different lighting, backgrounds, etc or to show a detail better.
Photos
I that have included in my listing or in messages are part of my
description, as a photo can often truly describe better than what is
written.
PLEASE NOTE: I usually do my listings as BUY IT NOW UNTIL SOLD OR CANCELLED.
I have noticed though, that some potential buyers have marked items as
WATCHING, and the WATCHING goes on indefinitely - in some cases, I have
had 20+ Watchers on a Single Item for close to a year!....Because I want
to list more items, I will have to take listings down when I feel the
interested buyer(s) have bought something else, forgot to stop watching,
are no longer interested, etc. SO... if you truly are interested in one
of my items, I encourage you to BUY Sooner than Later - or you may find
that I've de-listed the item(s).
Thanks for your understanding on this.
SHIPPING
I
offer Combined Shipping. It is based on size (dimensions) of box or pouch etc, its total weight, and, where
it's being sent. This seems fairer than 'formulas' I've seen that use total item quantity, using some
decreasing %, etc ,and to me, this offers the BUYER the best total price. That said, some
items cannot be combined, based on fragility of
item(s) and safe arrival to your location, ie - no bowling balls-crystal
stemware combinations!
Both Ground
Advantage and
Priority (a bit more cost) Shipping are usually offered
via USPS - it depends on how quickly you want the item. I also offer
Media Mail, if appropriate. And if one of the Flat Rate Boxes/Envelopes
work better, that's fine if something is heavy but small and comes in at
a lower shipping cost. I will refund you the overage you paid if I find one of the pre-priced boxes is less expensive. Because I live on the West Coast, and
Shipping Costs vary so much with weight/distance, I offer shipping at
Calculated Cost rather than Fixed Price. (unless it's rare exception just mentioned).
I
will always try to offer your item(s) at lowest cost to you - as long as
the item is safe from damage - unless you specify a more expensive or different
choice.
I
will ship same day or next-day from when order/payment is complete - it
depends on time I receive Ebay's notice. I have indicated 1-day Service
on EBAY's form. I do allow for 2 day ONLY if
weather is a factor (I would write the buyer and explain if possible)
-OR- I need to leave veryt early for the day and order came in very late night
before.
I will include in my listing, if an item is AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL PICKUP because
of size, weight, fragility, value. Or, if it is more convenient for
you, and you are nearby, I can meet you in a public place, once paid.
Contact me if that works for you. I am in 98092.
I offer returns, IF item is returned in the same condition as it was sent to you.
PRICING
I
try to offer the Buyer a good deal, competitively priced (through
research and/or checking other similar items listed, and Ebay's Price
guide). If you really want item, or think i might take a lower offer
(where BEST OFFER is available), feel free to offer, there are always counteroffers.
If
I have something unique or particularly valuable, I take that into
consideration or may have gotten advice from a better authority as to value than
myself in pricing.
Most items are comparable
to what else is similar online. However, you will often find some items
in my listings that are quite inexpensively priced in comparison. They include:
- Things I know
nothing about (and don't want to)
- things that could be considered too nice
for a garage sale or an estate sale
- Would rather do on eBAY than have a local sale
- Because I would love to sell to
someone who wants the item as gift , or for themselves , and can use it .... and then I no longer have in storage or
taking room in my house.
- WIN/WIN FOR EVERYONE!!!!
