💎 Almost all of my items are Estate and Thrift sourced from throughout the Central Coast of California! This area offers a unique melting pot of cultures and styles, along with old wealth and multiple generations that appreciate vintage style and quality pieces. With over 30 shops in the county that I pass through weekly, I have the opportunity to bring the most outstanding retro treasures right to you at incredibly affordable prices! I do have an available wish-list, so don’t hesitate to reach out to let me know what I can find for you!
🚛 All items are packed with care and shipped via USPS with tracking provided! I utilize Priority Flat Rate options for larger / heavier items, and do my best to pick the most cost effective option. (However I may go a bit oversized on some glassware, as I DO NOT MESS AROUND about my bubble wrap & packing jobs when it comes to my antique breakables! I want you get get your treasures in one piece!) I live rurally and work oddish full time hours as a professional horse trainer, so same day / before business close shipping isn’t always possible, but I do my best to get your item out quickly and communicate along the way. I’m always happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases, so please reach out for a combined invoice if I happen to miss the duplicate buyer name! (Also let me know if you double-pay on shipping and I’ll refund right away!) Also please understand that due to weather and other issues with USPS lately, delays while your item is en route are entirely out of my hands. I understand the excitement in wanting to receive your item, however these are unprecedented times, and a little kindness to your sellers goes a long way! After all, we’re stressed about items arriving safely too! In the unlikely event that an item is completely lost through the mail, after 30 days a claim will be filed with USPS.
🏆 Absolutely all sales are final, with no returns / refunds, no exceptions. I do my very best to accurately describe / list my items based on generations of knowledge passed down, and I am also constantly learning & researching! If after reading the item description and reviewing photos you still have questions, please ask before purchasing. I’m happy to answer questions or provide additional pictures. 99% Of what I sell on here is vintage or antique (40-140 years old), and with that said, a certain level of age / wear is to be expected. Patina, age-lines, wear, dust, etc aren’t necessarily guaranteed but should be expected on Estate items 50+ years old. Any defects found upon listing / selling will be noted in the above item description. I am not responsible for any assumptions made outside of what is provided in the item description and photographs. The photos are also an important part of the item description and will depict EXACTLY what you’ll receive. It is your responsibility to fully inspect your item upon receipt. If for any reason your item arrives damaged, please EMAIL ME FIRST and give me the opportunity to go the appropriate route and file a claim with USPS if an item was damaged in their hands. I value my positive feedback and am always eager to fairly resolve any issues without opening claims, but also will not tolerate bullies & scammers!
💸 Payment for all of my auctions and sales are required within 3 days of closing. Please understand that if you bid, accept an offer, or select a buy-it-now, you are committing to the sale and will be expected to pay. At 3 days eBay will automatically open a non-payment case, and if it is closed in my favor / without payment, you will be blocked. No exceptions. Even if your second-cousins-kids-dogs-friends-brother got ahold of your account and went on a bidding spree, either pay or retract your bid! 😉
🪄 Thank you for visiting my new account and I look forward to building excellent feedback and connecting with repeat customers! If you purchase from me, upon receipt of your item I’d greatly appreciate your feedback! My equine business took over the last few years, and after losing my well established account to hacking / stolen laptop, I took a break from vintage picking & eBay! Lately the local thrifting & estate sales have been good, so I thought I’d jump back in! Be sure to check in often, guaranteed fresh inventory coming almost daily!
Happy Trails! 🏇🏻
