eBay My World: the_dancing_machine( 1568)

I have been buying and selling on eBay for more than 7 years. I am extremely proud of my 100% feedback rating and make every effort to make sure my customers are fully satisfied with their purchases and my service. I know you'll be satisfied, too.

My main interest these days is selling Route 66 postcards. Please check out my new Auctiva blog, http://www.auctiva.com/stores/viewstore2.aspx?id=915092&page=blog, I also sell Seattle World's Fair items ... Doc Savage Books ... baseball cards ... U.S. postage stamps and sheets ... and other collectibles when I have them available. Due to the run-up in silver prices and several bad experiences lately, I am virtually out of the coin business for the time being. Unscrupulous sellers and frauds seem to be taking over the market. I try to post auctions every Sunday; if you do not see anything listed in the left column it's because I am temporarily out of stock.

In case you are curious, yes, the_dancing_machine is a reference to The Gong Show from the 1970s. And, yes, my name is Gene. But you don't really want to see me dance. If you saw something you liked for sale in one of my auctions, but did not bid, please let me know why.

Selling on eBay is a hobby, not a business, but I do not treat it any less seriously as a result. I am deeply committed to making everyone's buying or selling experience a pleasure and living up to the highest ideals of the eBay community. I want you coming back again and again. If you hear directly from me, it is because I have an item for sale that I think you will be interested in.

I accept PayPal, money orders, certified checks and personal checks. I prefer PayPal on less expensive items; but would prefer money orders or certified checks on higher priced items.

I typically ship via First-Class Mail unless the auction or the buyer specifies otherwise. Priority Mail is my second option. I try to ship everything within two days of receiving payment and usually ship the day after I receive payment. Please make note of the shipping and handling charges before you bid and bid accordingly. I set my S&H fees on listed auctions based on the likely total of eBay and PayPal fees to be charged according to the projected final auction price.

I will accept returns of any item if you are not satisfied. But if you are not satisfied, I would appreciate hearing about it first so that we can try to work something out. If you do need to return an item, I will only refund the auction price; S&H charges will be retained. Items must be insured upon return.
