I want my customers to have a Great buying Experience. If we receive anything less than a 5 star feedback it affects us negatively. I go out of my way for my customers here on ebay because I believe a good buying experience is the least one should expect when investing in an antique or any piece for that matter. My goal is for you to have the best buying experience on ebay. Maybe you will come back and shop with me again as most do.  If there are any issues with your order I ask that you contact me immediately as I am here for my customers, and will always make it right!!                         

 Description ----- Here we have a True 2nd American Edition of The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Wonderful copy being offered with NO reserve. Copyright 1903 and a very hard to find Hardcover being offered with NO RESERVE. Great pictures and a find from a recent estate sale.  An important piece of history and it is finely Illustrated by W.W. Denslow. Decent condition with nice overal condition except for the very green covering of the top spine that is coming loose. Easy fix for a rare book. As seen condition in the photos. in as seen condition. This is a hard to find rare book, so it has some age, but overall is tight and nice. Please check out the rest of the Collection. Great piece offered at NO RESERVE. Please check out all my great pieces I list at NO reserve each week.

            I travel to all the Best antique shows, sales, as well as estate sales and am called upon to look at and buy full estates. I try to be the first one there at the shows finding the items first. I give it everything I have and my team works tirelessly acquiring the finest one of a kind antiques you can find on ebay, or anywhere else for that matter. NO JUNK!!!! Only the better pieces. There is WAY too much bottom out there and here, and I want to change this. PLEASE Watch all my auctions and be sure to add me to your FAVORITE sellers list.

Please take into full consideration that our starting price in NO way reflects what we have into the items listed. We May pay a hundred times the starting $9.99 starting price. We trust in the ebay system and believe the market will find the right prices for the pieces. We go to great lengths to bring the finest quality on ebay with NO reserves. Many people are astounded at the quality we consistently offer and are repeat buyers. Often times we put collections together just so that you will have a choice within that category..  Often times you will search ebay for quality antiques and there will be few if ANY bids on many of the items. Many people are very suprised to see there are bids on all of my items. I don't think there are too many sellers out there willing to let the market decide the true value of an object I ABSOLUTELY INTEND TO SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. It's not unusual for me to spend a day or two driving to an auction or working with estate sellers to find one or two good items that week and list them on ebay only to sell an item at a loss. I work at the fringe of current market trends and know what people are looking for. I often see my items at antique shows selling for three, four times what they sold for here on ebay. I strive to get the best.  we work to provide the best items possible with few problems.  Please keep an eye out every week for new items I will be listing. This Spring and summer we will impress you with the same fine quality we have been  offering, at "No" reserves and our consistent $9.99 start to our auction. In no way does this reflect what we have invested in these items.  We ship all over the world..

 No reserve as always..  We ship Anywhere in the world

     We do not charge a handling fee with shipping. We are now listing shipping price, but please take into consideration these prices are "Without" insurance and we ask that you "WAIT" to pay for won items after the auction so we may add the necessary Insurance (required) into the invoice. Again! Do not pay for the item until we send you an invoice through ebay.  These prices are also for East coast costs and West of the Rockies will require an additional charge. It's not us as the USPS has raised their rates 1/3. We ship Priority and pack very, very well. Insurance is included in all shipping prices. Our prices are very good. I know you will be happy. Please remember that all items are sold "as is" and sold that way, unless I make a mistake in the description.

   Someone asked a question the other day about "Private Auctions" and asked me why I do them. The answer is simple, In the past, many of my high bidders have been sent "Fake" invoices asking to be paid for that auction by scammers pretending to be Entourage1. This is for "Your" security. I am sorry, but I can't trust ebay's either. I have to protect my bidders. Another important point is that many of my bidders were asking me to make the list private because they did not want their names or accounts published. If they keep the names private during the auction, why list the high bidders name. I sell high end antiques and this really involves dealers, buyers and others who want to remain well "Private" Do you stand up at the end of a high end auction or any auction for that matter and  Shout "My name is Maude Williams" after you win the item NO you don't!!!!  I myself really don't want others to know what I pay for an item. It's really nobody's business. People can still track and item for what it sells for an be "Confident" in knowing I don't doctor bids and stand by the credo of morals, market price, and money. I wish I could be as transparant as scotch tape, but because of the infestation of scammers out there, you just have to trust in someone. In my auctions, you see what you get. That's what "Todays" current value of that item. Though on ebay one never knows! We have seen stellar prices for items that turned out to be winners.  I do want to add a however. I see many of the items my customers purchase from me at shows, and auctions I attend going for double what they paid here. While I believe I set the price, I also believe I set the standard.

      Please look at my "Sellers Other items page" for a look at all of our best items we are listing this month. Many of these are superb. We believe these are the best pieces and it should be an important decision. All sales are final, and are as is.

      We do our best to answer "All" questions asked of us. I will do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.

ALL OF MY AUCTIONS INCLUDE A FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE, If I make a Mistake in the listing. ALL I ASK:  AN IMMEDIATE EMAIL FROM YOU UPON RECEIPT OF THE ITEM, AND THEN: THE ITEM'S RETURN WITHIN 7 DAYS. IF IT'S MY FAULT (MISSED A CHIP, ETC.), RETURN SHIPPING IS ON ME, OTHERWISE YOU PAY THE RETURN SHIPPING.

We ship out all Items within 10 business of receipt of payment. Most of the time we get it out within a day or so
