UNFORTUNATELY, OUR WONDERFUL POSTAL SYSTEM HAS ONCE AGAIN RAISED ALL RATES ON INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. TO BE CLEAR, THEY DOUBLED THE COST IN ONE SWOOP. INTERNATIONAL BUYER'S WILL STILL GET THE DISCOUNT I GIVE TO MY DOMESTIC BUYER'S BUT YOU WILL STILL SEE A SUBSTANTIAL JUMP IN THE COST. AS MUCH AS WE HATE TO, WE WILL HAVE TO RAISE OUR SHIPPING RATES THIS TIME TO ACCOMODATE THE POSTAL CHANGES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
WE WISH EVERYONE A WONDERFUL 2013 AND THAT ALL OF OUR LIVES ARE WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER AND GOOD HEALTH. WE HOPE YOU'LL CONTINUE TO JOIN US IN OUR PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND LOVE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. HAVE AN AWESOME YEAR AND GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!!

ABOUT OUR STORE: PLEASE READ
SINCE I KNOW THAT VINTAGE IS VERY DELICATE AND I DO, AT TIMES HAVE TO MAKE A REPAIR OR DO SOME CLEANING, I THOUGHT I SHOULD INCLUDE INFO RE: MY EXPERIENCE AT THIS TYPE OF WORK. I WANT YOU TO BE ASSURED OF THE GREAT CARE I TAKE WITH THESE AWESOME VINTAGE ITEMS. I HAVE BEEN A SEAMSTRESS FOR 30+ YEARS, HAVE DEALT WITH MANY DIFFICULT FABRICS (AT ONE TIME I WORKED MAKING SHUTTLE SPACESUITS AND SURVEILLANCE BALLOONS FOR THE GOVERNMENT, A VERY DIFFICULT PROCESS) AND MY GROWN CHILDREN AND FRIENDS STILL BRING ME THEIR DIFFICULT CLOTHING ISSUES (STAINS, TEARS, ETC). ALL THE ITEMS I SELL ARE KEPT IN A TEMPERATURE AND LIGHT CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT AND ARE NEVER TOUCHED WITHOUT HANDS BEING WASHED FIRST WITH SOAP AND WATER SO AS NOT TO LEAVE ANY FINGER OILS. THIS DOES NOT JUST INCLUDE VINTAGE, THE SAME CARE IS TAKEN WITH EVERYTHING I SELL, IE: DOLLS AND ORNAMENTS. WHILE I CANNOT GUARANTEE THE HISTORY OF MANY ITEMS, ONCE I HAVE THEM THEY ARE NEVER EXPOSED TO SMOKE, LIGHT, PETS, ETC AND YOU WILL NEVER RECEIVE ITEMS FROM ME WITH DRYER SHEETS TO MASK BAD ODORS (FRANKLY, I CANNOT BREATH WHEN I RECEIVE THEM THIS WAY SO I DON'T WANT TO EXPOSE MY BUYERS TO THAT EITHER). I DO HAVE PETS BUT THEY ARE RELEGATED TO THE OPPOSITE END OF MY HOUSE AND SECURED WITH GATES, DOORS, ETC. IF YOU DO DISCOVER A HAIR IN YOUR SHIPMENT, I ASSURE YOU IT BELONGS TO ME, I HAVE BLOND (I SUPPOSE I SHOULD MENTION THE GRAY MIXED IN) HAIR ALMOST TO MY WAIST. IF I GET A SHIPMENT THAT I SUSPECT WAS EXPOSED TO SMOKE IN IT'S PAST LIFE, I CLEAN THEM WELL AND HAVE EVEN HELD ITEMS FOR A YEAR JUST TO AIR THEM SUFFICIENTLY. I WILL ALSO MENTION ANY CLEANING/REPAIRING PROCESS I TOOK ON AN ITEM IN THAT PARTICULAR LISTING. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT MOST ITEMS I SELL ARE OVER 50 YEARS OLD. SO IN SHORT, I'VE MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TYPE WORK AND WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE YOU WITH THE BEST QUALITY PRODUCT THAT I CAN. I'M ALSO AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE THAT I MAY FORGET TO ADDRESS. THE HAPPINESS OF MY CUSTOMERS IS MY FIRST PRIORITY.
ALL VINTAGE BARBIE DOLLS WITHOUT ORIGINAL BOXES WILL SHIP TO YOU IN SPECIAL REPLACEMENT BOXES MADE ESPECIALLY FOR VINTAGE DOLLS. THEY ALSO COME WITH A CLEAR TOP FOR DISPLAY. AT NO TIME DO I ATTACH ANYTHING WITH STAPLES, TAPE, ETC. ALL VINTAGE SUPPLIES I USE ARE ACID FREE AND LIGNIN FREE TO PROTECT THESE WONDERFUL ITEMS.
STORE POLICIES AND UPDATES
FEEDBACK CHANGES
EBAY HAS PUT NEW FEEDBACK RULES IN EFFECT THAT WILL NO LONGER ALLOW SELLERS TO ADDRESS NON PAYERS OR BAD BUSINESS WITH BAD BUYERS IN THE FEEDBACK. FORTUNATELY, I DON'T RUN INTO ISSUES WITH BUYERS VERY OFTEN BUT THIS NEW POLICY WILL ALLOW BUYERS TO BASICALLY LEAVE WHATEVER FEEDBACK THEY CHOOSE TO FOR SELLERS WITH NO DISCRETION. AS WE HAVE ALL SEEN, THERE ARE THOSE FOLKS OUT THERE THAT NOBODY CAN PLEASE OR HAVE NO PROBLEM RETALIATING WITH NEGATIVES TO SELLERS WHEN THEY DON'T HONOR THE TRANSACTION. UNFORTUNATELY, TO SAFEGUARD BECAUSE OF THIS NEW POLICY, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ADD THE FOLLOWING UPDATE:
BUYERS WHO LEAVE EXCESSIVE, UNWARRANTED BAD FEEDBACK FOR SELLERS WILL HAVE THEIR BIDS CANCELLED AND WILL ALSO BE BLOCKED FROM BIDDING OR BUYING FROM MY STORE!!!!
AGAIN, I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE AND REALLY HAVEN'T HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ADDRESS IT ANYWAY TO PROTECT MYSELF AND MY WONDERFUL, RESPONSIBLE CUSTOMERS. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
ALL ITEMS ARE PROFESSIONALLY PACKED IN QUALITY MATERIALS. NO NEWSPAPER, FILLER PAPER OR BROWN PAPER TAPED TO YOUR COLLECTABLE BOXES. I SHIP THE WAY I WANT TO RECEIVE MY OWN PURCHASES SO I REFUSE TO SCRIMP ON MATERIALS. YOU CAN BE CERTAIN THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR ITEMS QUICKLY AND IN WONDERFUL, CLEAN CONDITION UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. AS WE ARE NOW TRYING TO OFFER FREE SHIPPING ON AS MUCH AS WE CAN, PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN MAKING OFFERS. WE'D RATHER GET A REQUEST FOR A LEGITIMATE DONATION THAN TO HAVE OUR TIME WASTED WITH UNREALISTIC AND UNFAIR REQUESTS. THANKS SO MUCH.
MAY WE ALL BE BLESSED WITH WARMTH, KINDNESS AND MUCH LOVE!!!! BE SAFE AND WELL. GOD BLESS TO ALL OF YOU!!!
