I'm "Knee Deep In Stuff"!  Check out my other items & please add me to your favorites list!

All movies will be FREE SHIPPING to the lower 48, so start stocking up as I get them listed and let me know when you're done and ready to "check out"!!  Don't hesitate or someone else will grab the ones you want and put them in their cart first!  See Quantity Discount below!

I am working on listing approx. 100 Movies from my personal collection and about 25 from my good friend Penny Banner's (www.bannerdays.com) collection.  All of Penny's look to be in very good condition. Some of the boxes are dented or rubbed, but the video tapes themselves look great.  All of mine are like new, some watched once, many never watched!  For the most part, I just "collected"  movies I'd seen and loved!  I will fill in the condition box above for Penny's based on how they look.  Mine will all be "like new".  I will note anything unusual in the descriptions.

Please Read (or at least skim over!) before bidding, asking questions, leaving feedback!

*  MY GOAL - Is to earn your 100% Satisfaction and 5 STAR RATING across the board, no exceptions!  Please be sure to tell me if I made ANY mistake and allow me to correct it before leaving neutral or negative feedback or less than 5 Stars in any category.  Thanks!!  Happy Bidding!!  ;-)  Lory

* THIS IS ONE of endless items!  New, Barely Used, Used.  I save EVERYthing, often buy things & receive gifts that I don't use, or find "treasures" to sell!!  I specialize in nothing!!  This means I don't know stuff about stuff!  I don't know what many things are, who made them, what they're made of, how old they are, etc.  So if you do, you might discover a diamond that I thought was zirconia, an original that I thought was a copy... you know what I mean, especially when it comes to antiques!  Check back often!

* I Have Excellent Feedback & work hard to earn it!!  I try to get decent photos & will describe everything as accurately as possible.  You're welcome & encouraged to ask questions if I miss something you'd like to know!  Ask BEFORE bidding, not after!

* ALL SALES ARE FINAL UNLESS - I accidentally describe or ship the wrong item.  Ask questions before bidding!  Clothes & Shoes may not be returned due to not fitting!

* PACKING - I RECYCLE!  I use anything I can get for packing.  Old boxes, new boxes, no boxes, shoe boxes!  Bubble wrap, shredded paper, I reuse all materials!  Please give me 5 Stars for shipping, not for it being pretty, but for your item arriving safely and me "going green"!  (Thanks!)  (PS!! If it needs to be pretty, tell me in advance!!)

* SHIPPINGSome items come with Free Shipping, all others I try to estimate the packed weights accurately so I don't lose money on shipping.  Rarely I may ship with a different service than specified.  I ship every week (except the wk from X-Mas to New Year, & the 1st 2 Wks of May), so you should receive your item within approx. 1 to 2 wks after you've paid.  Please give me 5 stars on shipping since I can't help that the rates keep going up, I've clearly stated my handling time for your consideration before bidding, and I can't control how long the shipping service takes to get your item to you. (Thanks!)  (PS!!  If it gets close to 2 wks, feel free to ask me to check on it for you!)

* INSURANCE - Usually required, sometimes included in rates, sometimes optional. Buyer is responsible for lost or damaged items if not insured.  I pack just fine but tossing, dropping, crushing, & loss, does go on!  No negative feedback for me if you didn't get insurance & your item is lost or damaged in transit, it happens!!

* INTERNATIONAL - 1 item can often go 1st Class, (usually less than priority), multiple items are usually over 1st Class weight limit (4lbs) & have to go Priority. Ask for quote!

* PAYMENT - Please just click the "Pay Now" button when you get the "You've Won" email, it'll give you an invoice.  Please Pay or Communicate about your payment right away, such as if you're bidding on other items that haven't ended yet to have them shipped together to save on shipping.

* FEEDBACK - Please Leave Feedback as soon as you get your item so I know you did!  Due to the uncaring unfairness of a few, I'm now waiting to give positive feedback till after the transaction is complete and I know I've made you happy.   Please base my feedback only on my performance, not the performance of eBay, Pay Pal, or the shipping service.

*  MY GOAL - Is to earn your 100% Satisfaction and 5 STARS across the board, no exceptions!  Please be fair... tell me if I made ANY mistake and allow me to correct it before leaving neutral or negative feedback or less than 5 Stars in any category.  I absolutely care enough to earn ALL Positive Feedbacks and 5 Stars in ALL categories:-)

* I Think I've Covered Most Everything - I'm sure I'll make changes as I continue adding items & receive your questions & suggestions!  Happy Bidding!   :-D
