I am selling some family items in order to get into a smaller house. Actually, that is not true.  I just want to get away from this miserable climate. Below minus 40 F already this year and our utility bill looks like a mortgage payment.  I am too old for this insanity. 

Back in the day I listed many items on ebay.  My usual practice was to list at $1.00.  I stopped for a while but when I started again I could not find my previous listings so I contacted ebay and was told that my previous items had been deleted because of lack of activity and their age and could not be recalled and that I would have to start over which I have done.  I thought that a bit much but Ebay is bigger than I am.  The most recent printout I see is dated 2 Jul 08 and shows feedback of 2121, all positive   A photo of it is included among the listing photos.

The photos are always of the item you will receive.  I do not know how to grade such things or the nomenclature so the photos are my description.   The photos are fairly accurate. Any color or hue is sky refection from a sun porch and western red cedar boards.  It happens to me from time to time and I don't know how to correct it but everything is just as you would expect it to be. I included all of the photos I took because my hands shake. If I take enough maybe one will be in focus. I thought it a nice example. Photos are intended to show all externally.

Sealed Envelope1973 Samuel Adams Patrick Henry United States Bicentennial Commemorative Medal and first day issue stamp with Boston postmark cover. Not precious metal. Original external condition as issued. Single original owner. In bank box since receipt. No external damage or wear, just as you would expect, better than new, not shop worn or handled.  To save me time and energy, the photos are my description so they tell you everything externally but I can't say I know what is inside.  I have no idea how it got sealed or who did it. but I am confident that the contents will be perfect.  If not, just send it back to me for a refund.  I am really sorry, a monumental screwup. I will hold buyer harmless.

Ebay handles my payments and mailing. I will mail this through ebay by Ebay Standard Envelope  in a small bubble envelope at Clancy, Montana. I live 15 miles outside of town and we don't go every day.  In fact, to tell the truth, I don't walk so well so my wife now mails things for me in the blue USPS mailbox at our subdivision mailboxes, if it is acceptable by USPS, so it is immediately out of my hands. I believe this is acceptable.  It is the cheapest shipping option given to me. But for my wife I would have died years ago. If you cut me some slack you do it for her too and she really deserves it.
