ATTENTION : THINGS HAVE CONTINUED TO MOVE QUITE SLOWLY IN TERMS OF SELLING OUT SO MY AUCTIONS ARE APPEARING A BIT LESS FREQUENTLY WITH THE INTENT OF WASTING LESS OF MY TIME AND MAY BECOME MORE INFREQUENT OR CEASE ALTOGETHER GOING FORWARD. WHY AM I BOTHERING TO MENTION THIS ? WELL, HOPEFULLY, TO SPUR SOME ACTIVITY. MY ITEMS STILL DRAW "WATCHERS" AS THEY ALWAYS HAVE BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT "WATCHERS" RARELY BUY ANYTHING. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE CALLED "WATCHERS" RATHER THAN BIDDERS OR BUYERS. SO ... NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE BIDS, PURCHASES, ETC. WHILE I'M STILL AROUND. THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE PURCHASED IN THE PAST AND ALL THOSE WHO STILL DO. - First, let me say as an introduction, that I have been retired now for a number of years. In short, I would no longer be considered a young man. I have been trying to divest myself of a life-long accumulation of many areas in collectibles including records, CDs, comics, sports cards, movie stills, sports photos, autographs, movies, etc. for quite a while now. I have been able to move a lot of items through the years but time is growing shorter daily and, frankly, I'm getting tired of doing this. At the present rate of sale it will take well past my 2,000th birthday to sell the couple of hundred items I am listing and I would like to move these items on to new homes while I am still living. It does not mean I am willing to give away my items for pennies on the dollar though. Offers MAY be considered if they are reasonable. Just to make it clear since most of you don't understand this, 10% - 20% is NOT a reasonable offer. Not even close in fact. In most cases a reasonable offer starts at 75% - 80% depending on the item and sometimes even higher on items with greater demand. There is absolutely no way I am going to sell items valued at $100.00 for the $10.00 - $20.00 offers I keep getting. That is a "lowball" offer and of no interest to me. I am going to have to set minimum bid amounts where we can at least discuss a possible deal to eliminate this problem going forward. I preferred not doing it this way but you have forced my hand.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Payment is expected within 4 days time. If payment is not received within that time period the transaction will be cancelled. This will originate automatically from Ebay. It will not come from me and is not meant as a personal insult. If your are the type who can't handle that there is a very simple solution - make prompt payment. Payment takes a couple of MINUTES so I feel that 4 DAYS is certainly sufficient time to get it done.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Bidders will be blocked from participating in my auctions for any of the following reasons : 1. Not paying for your winning bids   2. Ridiculous low-ball offers   3. Leaving false, misleading, or inappropriate feedback   4. Blaming me for things clearly out of my control. For example, leaving negative feedback for slow delivery. I ship all packages within 1 day of receiving payment (sometimes even the same day). That is the end of my responsibility as far as getting your item to you quickly ! If the U.S. Postal Service is slow in getting the mail to you quickly that is NOT MY FAULT and leaving negative feedback for me for their failure is ridiculous !   5. Belligerent and / or abusive behavior or communication - In short, I do not treat people in that manner and I am not going to be treated that way. At my age (or any age for that matter) putting up with that type of behavior in order to make a sale is simply not worth it to me. If that is who you are I have no desire to deal with you and ask that you purchase elsewhere.   6. Issues caused by buyers who will not read listing info. THE #1 PROBLEM THAT OCCURS ON EBAY IS BUYERS REFUSING TO READ THE LISTING INFO WHICH IN TURN LEADS TO ERRORS AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND, EVENTUALLY, BLAMING THE SELLER FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS CLEARLY EXPLAINED AND IGNORED. DON'T BLAME ME FOR YOUR FAILURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND / OR INQUIRE !                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Our feedback system is very simple : Since most of you no longer bother to participate in feedback : Leave it and receive it, leave none - receive none.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          All customs or duty charges involved with sales to international buyers are the responsibility of the buyer. I also will not be involved in falsifying any shipping documents as this is illegal. I will not lie and list merchandise as a "gift" either.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             This is a lot of 20 .33 cent stamps issued by the U.S. Postal Service In 1999 of James Cagney as part of the Legends of Hollywood Commemorative Stamp series. They are in pretty nice condition and from a smoke-free home.  If you will give me time to go to the post office the day after the auction ends I will get you a shipping quote and send you an invoice with exact costs. No hidden profit here. If you ignore this offer then do not bother to complain about shipping charges as you will have done it to yourself and no remedy will be available.
