New items up on Ebay auction- Bespaq Louis XV armchairs

New items up on Ebay- some damaged Bespaq Louis XV armchairs! Right now I've listed three Louis XV armchairs by Bespaq, 1:3 scale, on 3, 5, & 7 day auctions. These armchairs are walnut with gilt finish. Low starting bids of 9.99, but get 'em while you can, these are some of the last TWO Boxes of these chairs. Once they are gone, they're gone.

REMEMBER- Our  Ebay auction link is HERE  ! I have 50+ auctions listed and I list more each day or relist them if they end! 


Chair #1- has one broken armrest 3 day auction

Chair #2 has two broken armrests, one leg is shorter than the others 5 day auction

       chair #3 has both armrests broken off, but they have their peg joinery so this should be a fairly simple glue repair.

I have begun to do a major housecleaning on my other private collections of crystal, china , pottery and glass. I am also including a great deal of Avon Collectibles, as well as Princess House china and Lenox crystal.
Up for me is a personal auction- as my mother asked me to sell some of her Avon representative pins- I have a lot on a 7  day auction now. My mother sold Avon on and off for about 20+ years, but from the early 80's thru 1992? I think she did it non-stop when I was ateen. (One of my jobs in the mornings on Saturday was to get up and lug the Avon order boxes in that UPS Delivered that morning. Most of Saturday was spent by Mom packing her orders and delivering them that day or the rest of the week and collecting funds. This was in the good ole days before the internet and Paypal.)
My mother was in the President's club for well over 10 years- and sales for a member who was in the President's club had to total $7000?? I think over a year or more. There were different levels. This auction of 24 pins are a combination of her rewards for reaching certain goals, or pins for selling a certain promotional item and that sort of thing. This auction for this lot of 24 pins that are rare, as only AVON President's club members received them astarts at 14.99 for 7 days






I have also begun to list some of my other Avon collectibles as well as Princess House china. My mother was a big collector of Princess House as were our friends and relatives and we knew a couple of the representatives and attended and gave a few of these parties so I had a big oppurtunity to collect the Fantasia dinnerware and Heritage items.

As well as fine collectibles, I am also moving some of my husband's Selkirk Metalbestos Industrial parts vent pipe stock thru my Ebay store as well. These are HVAC parts that are moving at a fraction of the cost on the industrial market due to - hey we're running out of room!

When I am not designing and creating in 1:6 scale, or sculpting, I usually am the Director of Operations in our office. Inventory of our parts and service is one hat I usually wear along with the admin part while my husband Chris does service and sales.

On another note of Ebay bidders-(otherwise known as malicious bidders-)
Because of some 'bad ebay apples' who have fallen off the bidding tree, I will be blocking those customers I perceive who will be a problem from future bidding. I have had malicious bidders who seem to purchase items only to leave a negative/nuetral feedback when they do not notify me in a timely manner of a problem with their order, nor will they allow me to attempt to make the transaction correct. I am venting here I realize, but this hurts my other customers who like bidding and I am offering these damaged items at a reduced cost. These bidders who have left me 1 negative and 2 nuetrals in the past 60 days know who they are and have been reported to ebay, as well as I have replied to their damaging feedback- BEWARE OF BUYER- (simply click on the feedback they leave for others )What is most irksome is these buyers use ebay feedback extortion in their messages, and for this reason, they have been reported. I am putting this here as I have the ebay id's of these persons, and will give it to those of my Ebay seller colleagues who deal in the fashion doll world so they can effectively be BLOCKED from buying those other wonderful deals they like to bid on. This is my last resort to protect those of my colleagues who deal in 1:6 scale furniture and accesories as well as the 1:4 scale items as well, and these bidders are probably well known on the doll boards. 

All in all, I wish my customers to know that I value them each and everyone, and wish to continue in this wonderful business, but I wish to protect those who sell items from their private collections/ work as artists in the doll community, or who are dealers like me.I enjoy working with my customers and seeing what they do in their scenes, diroamas and collections with the pieces that I make available on the market, and I  have a passion for the doll and miniature community. Thank you all , each of my customers is special to me.
Sincerely-
Lisa
