Auction Listings - stnick22

Most years stnick22 treats us all to an impressive number of lots they place on eBay. This year is one during which they have listed nearly 200 listings, truly spanning the spectrum from lots that should be affordable to the newest cadre of collectors all the way to those hard-bitten souls who are close to having seen it all. I have received a fair amount of inquiries as to whether these listings are legit. (I’m glad that collectors are tuned in to the dangers present from scamsters in the vintage Halloween world.) The sellers, a long-married couple, have been active in the higher-end of holiday collectibles for decades. Yes, they are legit. There are a number of listings I am watching. I hope to be a prevailing bidder on several, but we’ll see. I love a line in the listings that I could have written: We understand that many folks … are visual learners and explorers, and frankly, do not enjoy long winded … descriptions. Sellers, keep your descriptions crisp and succinct. Take excellent photos and minimize the verbiage.
