Measures 8"h x 7.5" in diameter at the top
All of my listings are priced low and in no way represent the actual value of my items.  I intentionally price all items low to keep with the spirit of ebay.  Remember when you could find that treasure at a great price?  Remember the feeling you had when you were able to get that special item for a steal?  I want you to find that feeling and bring back that spirit here.
For those of you who are repeat, thank you very much for your continued purchases; I appreciate the trust you have placed in me. For those who are new – I guarantee that you will be pleased with my items as they are all authentic, upscale and first rate.  Please check out my feedback, as I have been a respected and responsible e-bay member for many years, only dealing with the utmost honesty.
I will gladly give refunds for errors made on my part, but not for errors made on yours.  If color is important to you, I try my best to characterize the color.  However, I am not Crayola and there are an infinite variations of red, blue, green etc.  I will not give refunds based on Color.  Period. Please ask all questions before bidding and always bid only if you are willing to pay.
Please read - a few housekeeping items:
1.  For those e-bayers with zero (0) feedback, please email me prior to your bidding.  Otherwise, I will cancel your bids.  I will hate to do this, but it is necessary to keep the non serious buyers from hurting the actual payers.
2. For those that live outside of the US, I will gladly ship to your location.  However, please note that I cannot be responsible for delays with customs, in shipping time, or any other issue that relates to shipping to your country.  Once the item leaves my hands, it is beyond my control.
ALL international customs charges, tariffs, taxes, bribes, or what ever needs to be paid to your government to receive your item will be paid by the buyer (you).  Not the seller (me).
3. For everyone…I ship via USPS (United States Postal), or at times priority via USP.  But depending on the item's weight or destination I may also use UPS ground.
Lets touch upon
FEEDBACK
;
For those that are new to ebay, and to those that might need reminding --- here's how it works:
When you receive your item and you are satisfied with it = positive feedback.
When you receive your item, and are not satisfied with the item (for whatever reason), you should contact the seller and work it out.  Chances are you will receive a favorable outcome, and your response = positive feedback.  (You can certainly state within your positive feedback that things didn't work out, but it was corrected.)
Negative feedback should only be reserved when you can't work things out with the seller.  Never use Negative Feedback if you did not give the seller the opportunity to correct the wrongdoing.  It is not right nor fair to that person.
Respectable ebay sellers value their feedback and ratings and will work hard to maintain it.  So before pushing that button leaving negative feedback, pause for a moment and ask yourself did you give the seller the chance to correct and is it fair.
Prior to leaving any negative or neutral feedback - please contact me.
Lets also mention
POSTAGE
.
I am not out to get rich off of postage.  I carefully weigh each item and calculate postage by using usps.com.   I do not understand how someone can buy an item and therefore "accept" postage charges but then turn around and leave poor ratings for that seller on the postage charged.  We do not make the postage rates, USPS does that for us.  Its not the sellers fault that it costs more to ship an item, than it would to hand deliver it.  Remember, it costs .47 cents for a regular size letter.  If you feel that the seller is charging too much postage - the answer - don't buy the item.
Ebay friends:  if you feel that you cannot leave high star rankings in feedback for this transaction, I ask that you please leave nothing.
Special note
:  If you are a difficult person, if you think you may be a difficult person, if you are someone who likes to complain about the smallest thread, if you are not a happy person in general, or takes personal satisfaction in making others within your reach miserable - Please don't bid.   If your feedback habits indicate that you enjoy leaving negative feedback for other sellers - without reasonable cause- I will cancel your bid.   Lets keep this transaction pleasant for both parties. It may be a game to you, but it is not for responsible ebay sellers.
Payment is due within 3 days of auction end; I ship out the following business day of receipt of payment.
Thanks for bidding!
