Payment
Paying by PayPal means quick shipping time, but I am happy to accept checks (there's a 10-day wait time from the time I receive the check to the time the check clears the bank) and money orders and cashier's checks (quick shipping upon receipt). I try to make it as easy as possible to take your money, lol.
Shipping
We usually ship USPS and offer as many options as possible. Priority and Parcel Post are always offered, while First Class and Media Mail are also offered when appropriate. Insurance is mandatory on breakable or very rare items, but the buyer has that option for other items if requested. I try to wrap everything as carefully as possible but of course cannot guarantee the item after it leaves my home.
Terms of Sale
All auction sales are final unless, of course, I accidentally misrepresent an item. I try to be as detailed as possible, including pointing out any flaws or problems.
About Us
We have four grown children and four wonderful grandchildren, who are truly a joy in our lives! We have been selling on the internet for more than 10 years and had an antique shop in our home during part of that time. However, I have recently retired and plan on making my internet sales a full-time business, via auctions and my two shops, one on Ruby Lane and one on GoAntiques, and the various other avenues available. Although I sell mostly antiques and collectibles, I do not limit myself to just that--I like selling a lot of variety.
