Toys, games, barware, dishes, Pyrex, Corelle, Georges Briard, Fred Press, lamps, chairs, vacation souvenirs of the past? ...you name it I have it or HAVE had it and moved it on to someone else who loves it just a teensy bit more than me. I source with you in mind, someone that is like me...that needs a touch of mirth...or weird in their lives. A thing, a CERTAIN thing that will complete the look, fill a hole, plug a gap, bring back a memory or provide laughter. I don't want to sell golf clubs or broken blender parts but sometimes these fall into my lap but the WEIRD, the WONDERFUL, the KITSCH and the WHIMSICALLY ATROCIOUS...those adorable misfits are my specialty and I love them ALL for what they are but my apartment is only so big and I have bills to pay so break out your credit card and git shoppin'

    Super happy with my whole experience. Price was reasonable, considering how this book is out of print. Arrived quickly, and was packed securely for shipment. Its appearance exactly matches what was shown on the listing, and condition is as described - good-quality, intact product, with the most minor of wear that does not impede reading. Great work, Professor, and thank you!

    Good communication, excellent professional packaging. Items were as described. Would purchase from again. Shipping would have been perfect if the USPS hadn't lost it for 2 days.

    Awesome seller! Item arrived with a broken bulb and seller immediately gave me a partial refund (more than fair BTW). The Lava lamp was exactly as described, fast communication, superb packing. Highly recommend this seller! Thanks again.
