FREE  LISTINGS!!!  

I charge you nothing to list your item.  After your item sells, I deduct my commission plus eBay and PayPal fees before sending you a check for the balance.  Profit checks generally amount to 60 - 70% of the selling price.  (consignment stores only give about 40% and yard sales bring in less then that)

My commission is 25% of the first $500 and 15% of the remaining amount over $500.  eBay's lising fees are $0.65 with a starting bid of $9.99 or less plus 8.75% of the first $25,  3.50% of the next $975, and 1.5% of any amount over $1,000.  PayPal fees are $0.30 plus 2.9% of the final selling price.  The buyer pays for the shipping and handling.

Auction:
Drop-off by appointment to my South Elgin, IL  location.  Monday - Saturday:  day and evening times available.  Call 847-695-1559 to schedule.  Free pick up for Thornwood! 

Your item with be checked-in, photographed and put up for auction within  three business days of contract.  I run a seven day auction to get your item the best exposure!  Auctions can be customized to fit your time constraints with things such as tickets for concerts, sporting events, and so on.  Once your item is listed I will email you a link to view your item and watch your sale in progress.

Payment for sold items:
You will typically receive a check within 30  days of contracting an item.  Please note that winning bidders who delay in paying for your item will cause delays in our timing for sending out your check.  In addition, occasionally a bidder may never pay for your item.  In this case,  I will cancel the original auction and re-list your item for free.  Your amount and payment timing will be based on the results of this new auction.         

Items that don't sell:
If your item does not sell,  you will be notified by email and can either pick it up within 10 days, or allow me to donate your item to charity.   If you requst for your item to be relisted a $1.00 listing fee will be charged for this request payable in advance of the second listing.

Notice:
All items brought to me for auction are at my discretion to list.    All items must be legal for sale on eBay (no counterfeits, hazardous materials, etc).  To prevent the sale of stolen goods,  I require that you present a driver's license or other issued photo ID when submitting your items for auction.  I will mail your profit check only to the address on your identification.  This is done for both your and my own protection.  Thank you!
