SOME FINAL TIPS:

(thanks to “eBay FOR DUMMIES”)

1) DON'T GET "SNIPED": Some bidders are surprised when they are suddenly outbid in the last minutes of an auction.  This is called "sniping".   Remember it is not the last bid that wins but the highest bid.  By bidding the highest price that you would be willing to pay for an item, you do not automatically have to pay that price!  Your bid will only be raised (by eBay, not me) according to eBay's rules, up to your maximum bid and no more. Check with eBay for more details on bidding rules.  Entering your maximum amount early is the best way to avoid sniping that happens during the last minutes of auction.

2) BIDDING: Don’t round off your bids to the nearest familiar numbers, such as $3.00 or $21.50: instead, use “odd” values in your bid to increase your chances of winning! Bidding $3.07 or $21.53 could mean the difference in winning the item for only a few pennies more than the next highest bidder.

THANKS FOR LOOKING!

GOOD LUCK and HAPPY BIDDING!

SHIPPING DISCOUNT AVAILABLE?

YES! SAVE BY COMBINING SHIPMENTS!

Ignore eBay's notes!

The eBay format insists on pre-calculating discounts which may be inaccurate and not provide the best possible savings for you, the Buyer.

I can combine purchases closing within fifteen days into one shipment.

Savings may be significant: Two 45s or LPs may ship for nearly the same as one!

It all depends on final package weight and dimensions.

Contact me with a proposed purchase and I will advise the total shipping cost.

NOTE: I also have listings under the eBay ID "collectabletreasure": these listings can be combined as well!
