I get stuff from yard sales and thrift shops, and when I have time, craft some jewelry, stained glass and fused glass and other odd crafts, and post them for sale here. It's fun to find rare items that folks want, and even nicer if it turns a little profit. I have a full time job and I do this for fun. When it stops being fun ... I'll find somethin' funner.

I charge EXACT POSTAGE from me to you, but ONLY within the LOWER 48 United States, period, no argument. I do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico or anywhere else outside the lower 48. If you for some strange reason cannot figure out whether this applies to you, see http://conjurewoman.net/text/noship.txt .

Also please remember I WORK FULL TIME, including many WEEKENDS, and so I may not be able to respond to your offer for at least a day.

All items come from a smoke-free home.

NOTICE: I DON'T TALK ON THE PHONE. EVER. Don't send me your phone number and don't ask for mine, please. I will NOT call you. You wouldn't call the cashier at WalMart (or even the President of WalMart) at home, interrupting their dinner and invading that family's privacy, so please have as much respect for mine. This is an ONLINE store, so communication must be ONLINE. I will only communicate in Email.

PAYMENT is expected within 3 days of the accepted offer: 'no tickee no washee!' If I do not have your payment in my hand within 3 days, the item will be relisted and the transaction cancelled.

I ONLY (and I do mean ONLY) ship within the LOWER 48 United States, period, no argument. My shipping prices are based on the farthest point (Key West, FL) from my location (Everett, WA), and I will refund any overage. I do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico or anywhere else outside the lower 48, EVER, period.
A 5 pound package in the lower 48 costs about $15, the same package to Hawaii is $40, to Alaska is $48, and to other possessions even more. Can't do it.
MY ZIP, for calculating postage with the calculator, is 98258.
I ship ONLY within the United States. Please do not ask me to ship outside the US, as I will not do it. I do not have the time.

I have done my best to estimate the weight of the item, with the expected amount of packing materials I think it will need to ensure safe delivery. If the actual amount is significantly less (>$2) I'll refund the difference, if it is more, my loss. If when you checkout the fees seem too high, don't panic! Back out from the page and email me with your zip code. I'll pack the item as it should be packaged and weigh it accurately and email you back within 2 days with a few different shipping options. There's nothing we cannot discuss reasonably.

I accept Paypal as well as personal checks and Money Orders for the EXACT AMOUNT of the purchase plus postage ONLY, and I expect payment within THREE (3) days of your purchase. If you are paying by check or money order I must have it in my hand by 7 days, or I will cancel the transaction and relist the item. If your money arrives after that and it hasn't been sold yet to someone else, I'll ship it AFTER your check or MO has cleared, minimum 10 days, because it takes that long to be sure the instrument you offered is actually honored by YOUR bank (not just conditionally accepted by mine). If it's been sold already, I'll return your check/MO next time I go to the post office.

Please allow at least 7 days for me to package and ship the item, and then the 2-7 days the postal service requires for actual delivery.

Lastly, I do not accept returns unless the item description is significantly different from what I send you. If you buy Jennie Craig tapes and later decide you'd rather do Weight Watchers, hooray for your enthusiasm, but I won't take the JC tapes back. If you buy a gold ring and I send you silver, my bad, send it back at my expense for full refund. Fair is fair.

If this isn't FUN, there's no point in being here.
