It is impossible to resell an item for a good price once the history shows a "best offer accepted" and the same item is then re-listed, as the item is then de-valued.

Very few of my items are perfect, and I try to describe and disclose any issues I see. However, what my opinion is of an item may differ from yours. I do this for a living after losing my full time job and hope you feel that I have provided top-notch service. I return the favor of feedback upon receipt of feedback from all buyers. I also cannot control what the post office does with and/or to the package once it leaves my possession. Despite packaging that would withstand most tornados, the Post Office will occasionally completely crush and/or puncture a package. This allows buyers to choose speed over value, if desired. Parcel Post takes 7-9 days. Why would either of us want to give the Post Office 3 times longer to destroy a package?

If you feel that I deserve any less than 5 stars, please let me know why so I can improve my future performance. Valuable items may contain a tamper-proof holographic "void if removed" security tag attached.

If tag is present on item, please carefully inspect item upon receipt, notify me of any issues, and return with tag intact. Items with tag removed or tampered indicate your acceptance of item are not eligible for return. Thank you for your interest and, as always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message me. The item "Antique 19th Cent.
