September 2003 Wow !! Has this been some hot summer or what!! Well, a start to another season for the best in Hallmark Christmas Ornaments and other categories of bargains. Click here for the complete list. In our Ebay Store I've picked up a large lot of past year Hallmark ornaments for your viewing and bidding pleasure. A good deal of them from the early nineties. As fast as I can, I will scan them in and get them up for auction and the store.
I am getting some very nice Walt Disney Classics Collection pieces. Great auctions of some very valuable collectible figurines and some Disney Treasures Seriographs. Extra Special Christmas gifts.
It seems that there are some who appreciate the Hallmark blown glass ornaments. They are very carefully crafted and hand-painted. Some of the traditional blown glass globes like the Christmas Rose are real works of art. Check them out!!
There is still some of the American Spirit 50 State Quarters collection. Nice collectibles with maybe a future. For what ever reason, Hallmark seems to have stop issuance of anything past 12/02. I cannot verify the information, but no further scheduled States will be issued, or so I am led to believe. Anyhow, there is a Figurine (nice metal casting of the state symbol) and Coin sets that are limited edition and numbered.(1of 19,500) . Nice display box, certificate of authenticity, and tri-fold State Facts. There is a two-sided metal ornament engraved with that State's landmarks and historical significance. It is with the coin embeded in the center, visible on both sides. This hefty, finely crafted ornament is a goodie with Certificate of Authenticity and tri-fold State Facts. I use it as a paperweight for my opened mail.
Also, as I get them sorted, is a variety of one coin, (in many cases both the Denver and Philadelphia Mint are available) and also the two coin set (with both the Denver and Philadelphia Mint coins), all uncirculated and packaged at the Mint. Speaking of Spring (huh?), there are some nice spring ornaments still available. Really unique hand crafted goodies. SHIPPING NEWS Throught the thoughtful nature of several of my customers (Thanks go out to Sherrie and Sherry) I was advised of a new way to reduce my shipping costs through a program from the US Postal Service. If I print my own postage labels through a java program that you download, I can save the delivery confirmation fee as it is free if I do it myself. The downside is trying to tape them on. Using clear packing tape or other method like paste or glue does not work for me. So I ordered peel and stick labels from a USPS recommended company but they are not free. But it saves some and that is the point. Shipping is now reduced by $.25 which ain't a lot but it's better than a stick in the eye. I am revamping all auctions to reflect that change from $4.95 to $4.70 as it occurs. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We continue to have a good response to our efforts to help create more successful ebay businesses. The information is free, it's good information, it is brief (five fairly short emails), and it helps you become a better ebayer. No matter if you are a buyer, seller, or both, this information is invaluable to you. Now, if you are independently wealthy and don't care about the ins and outs of auctions and how it effects you, well, this may not be for you. If that is the case please place outrageously generous bids for all of my inventory. This little bit of help for those who enjoy their ebaying and would like to become more proficient comes from Ken Evoy and friends at Make Your Site Sell fame. It was written and is the experience of Sydney Johnston, a very successful Ebayer. This is some great information that is free and extremely useful. It has helped me immensely in setting up and understanding auctioneering.
