eBay My World: goldsborough1447( 1140)

I am a natural hoarder, especially when items are model railway or dolls' house bits and bobs. My wife and I love vintage and antique toys and our home is cluttered with them. We must be the two oldest kids in Hampton.

Yorkshire

Gardening, vintage and antique toys, model making, renovating derelict dolls' houses and building new ones and, finally, renovating, rebuilding and using vintage printing equipment.

Treasure Island with Robert Newton as Long John Silver. Also, Oliver with Ron Moody as Fagin.

Almost all classical music, traditional jazz, some modern jazz, skiffle and rock n' roll.

Self employed as a printer since 1971. I'm still in this business even though I'm getting wrinklier by the day. Before going in to print, I spent some time working at sea and, later, worked in the mining industry.

PayPal or cash at the door. I will accept cheques and postal orders but will not part with the goods until these have cleared.

I try to post all items within 1 working day. I now only charge stamp price p&p and, if I find I have overcharged anyone, I automatically refund the difference to the buyer.

I will accept returns and will refund the buying price minus my postage costs once the goods have been returned at the buyers expence. For faulty goods I am happy to make a 100% refund to the buyer (including all postal costs) once the item has been returned to me.

I am always happy to communicate with buyers or sellers and can be contacted by eBay message at goldsborough1447 or by email: tonygoldsborough@blueyonder.co.uk. Telephone No: on request.

I'm the little one on the left of this happy holiday snap which was taken in Mablethorpe, Lincolshire just after the end of World War 2. I was born in Rotherham, Yorkshire but have spent most of my adult life in Southern England. I sell anything that we, as a family, don't want to keep as we clear out cupboards, etc. I don't sell to make money but find auction sites interesting and enjoy 'meeting' the people who I buy from or sell to. However, any extra money is always handy for spending on eBay, etc. and is a useful supplement to our pension.

I can't abide people who, having made a conscious decision to do something, blame everyone else when they discover that they have acted in either error or haste.
