Please Ask!

Ebay details can be incomplete!

Because we use a 'bulk uploader', sometimes details are left out - condition , size, extra info about a piece. If you need more info, please do not hesitate to ask - or call us, we are always happy to chat during business hours. (+61) 03 52292970
We often send a video of an item to clients, which shows a lot more about a piece than a photo.

Our aim is Happy Customers: we are here to help.
