I'm a long-time garage-sale girl and purveyor of fine "stuff", and as it's gotten to the point where I can barely see my floor, I've decided it's time to downsize the stash a bit.
------ F.A.Q. ------Feedback
In addition to my feedback here on MLPArena, I also have feedback on MHArena and eBay. My name on MHArena is the same as my name here; my name on eBay is Squirrelypaws4788.
In the interest of full disclosure: my eBay account is restricted from selling, for reasons I honestly do not know. I took a break from selling there because I got sick of the high fees, then a year or so later I tried to list an item and was told that my seller ratings had dropped below allowed standards and I was no longer allowed to sell.
Holds
I'll be perfectly honest with you; I really don't like to do holds.
Believe me, I know the feeling of finding something I want/need but not having the money right then. But at the same time, it seems like holds fall through nine times out of ten, and I'm left hanging.
So my policy regarding holds is that I will do them, but only for a max of 48 hours.
Shipping Costs
Unless noted, the prices I have listed DON'T include shipping.
I much prefer to ship via Priority for US purchases, as the boxes/materials are free and it includes both tracking and insurance. I an open to shipping via cheaper methods if they're available, though.
Please note, though, that with non-Priority shipping methods I do need to charge extra for the box/materials.
Priority shipping includes $50 worth of insurance in case the package is lost or damaged. If the price for your item(s) comes to more than that, there will be an additional charge for extra insurance.
I am open to shipping internationally, though for international sales I will ONLY ship via Priority. I know this method is very costly for international, but I've heard so many horror stories with other methods that I don't want to risk it.
Shipping/Handling time
Once payment is received, I try to get packages sent within three business days. Sometimes, though, life does get in the way of that; if there's a delay, I will let you know ASAP.
Payment Methods
Paypal is my preferred payment method. I prefer a minimum order of $5 because of fees, but I'm happy to work with you on smaller orders too.
I am also open to postal money orders from US buyers. Please note, though, that if you pay via money order your item will not be shipped until the money order is received.
If you have any questions that I didn't cover here, please feel free to PM me!
------ ALLERGY ALERT ------I have several cats (mixed breeds, both long- and short-haired) and a dog (a Husky/Malamute mix), all of whom like to "help" with my various collections, so there is a strong likelihood of items purchased from me having cat/dog hair or dander on them.
And while I myself do not smoke, and my belongings have been mostly kept in a bedroom that is NOT smoked in, I do live with multiple smokers. I've been asked before how badly I'd say my items smell of smoke; I honestly can't distinguish it, but I think that's because I've lived with smokers my entire life and have gotten used to the smell than because it's not noticeable. I would say buyers should anticipate a noticeable smoke smell.
If there's anything besides pets/smoke that is a concern to you, please feel free to PM me and I can let you know if the item you're interested in has been exposed to whatever your concern is while in my possession. I do want to note, though, that a large portion of my collection (and therefore a large portion of my sales items) comes from buying secondhand, and I have no clue what it might have been exposed to prior to my getting it.
------ Onward to Sales! -------------} Pokemon! {-------I have a rather insane amount of Pokemon stuff, mostly from the early days of the franchise. I'm still in the process of sorting things out, but here's what I've got done so far.
TOMY Figurines
TOMY FiguresThese guys were my childhood toys, so they're definitely a bit battle-worn; most just have paint wear and/or marks, but a few do have broken tails or other appendages in addition to the wear. If you need any additional pictures to gauge how damaged any of them are, please feel free to ask.
As far as I know, these are authentic TOMY figures; they're all marked as such, and I don't see anything too obviousy off about them to indicate that they're fake. That said, unless there's something obviously off about them, I truthfully don't know how to identify counterfeits. So if you have concerns about the authenticity, please feel free to direct me on how to tell if it's a real one or not!
I am asking $4 each for these, unless noted otherwise on the picture. Prices were figured using
this guide that I found; the prices in the guide are for mint, so since mine certainly don't qualify as mint, I put them at 40% of the guide's price. I am open to haggling on these, especially for the more expensive ones. I am absolutely open to haggling.
Cards
Oh god, so many cards! I literally have THOUSANDS of them.
I collected heavily from 1998 through 2009 or so. Most of my collection is the TCG game cards, but I have quite a lot of Topps cards as well.
Because of the sheer number of cards I have, I'm not even going to attempt to list them out. Instead, I'm going to ask that anyone interested in cards PM me with a list of what they're looking for.
Prices would vary depending on the card.
Still to come are other-brand figurines, plushies, and other various Pokemon toys.
