Just a few words about me and my auctions. I am a retired U.S. Navy Master Chief Petty Officer. After serving 30 years on active duty I retired in 1988. Since then I have been involved in all sorts of things related to the Antique and Collectible business. For about ten years I was a professional swap meet dealer. During that period I sold everything from silk flowers to trading cards. After losing money for all that time (but still having fun), I decided to take a booth in a large antique mall. After about two years of this. I opened my own store in downtown San Diego and for a couple of years I had the largest selection of new and used stuffed animals in town. About this time the owners of the Antique Mall approached me and asked me to accept a position as the assistant manager of the mall. I closed my store and moved back into the mall as a dealer employee. I eventually became the manager for about a year prior to the mall closing due to development around us. When the Mall closed I bought out many of the dealers and opened my own store in another Antique district. After about two years of trying to fight off the wolves and make a go of it, I closed the doors. Since then I have been selling exclusively on line. I started on Yahoo Auctions, moved to Blujay when they closed and finally landed on Atomic Mall. (I hope this will be a permanent home as I find it to be the best site I have ever seen for my purposes.) Since my retirement I have accumulated a large inventory spanning a wide variety of merchandise and am now trying to sell it off a little at a time.
MY POLICIES -
- I try deal with each customer individually
- I try to describe each item accurately
- I never give negative feedback and I try to resolve all problems in the buyers favor
- I am building a network of customers and friends.
