TIE TACK Plastic Pin LOUISVILLE Kentucky 1983 REDBIRDS Baseball 1,000,000

Description

HELLO
, and
WELCOME
to
kentuckyrebel'srock'n'rollheaven
, where I've specialized in selling
MUSIC MEMORABILIA
for over
TWENTY YEARS
on
eBAY
(and
MANY MORE YEARS
in the outside world, long before the advent of online auctions) and am clearly spreading my wings a bit with
COLLECTIBLES
such as this!
THANKS
, too, for the interest in my music group's last
CD
, "
LISTEN UP... IT'S THE ECHOES
"--free downloadable samples being
AVAILABLE ONLINE
at AllMusic and, of course,
THE ECHOES OFFICIAL WEBSITE
--and for the overwhelming response to our follow-up
CD
, "
NOW HEAR THIS
," online and in stores now!
The
WINNER
of this "kentuckyrebel"
AUCTION
will receive
ONE
(1) 100% original,
RARE
, and vintage
PLASTIC HAT OR LAPEL PIN
/
TIE TACK
--distributed in
1983
by the
LOUISVILLE REDBIRDS
--this being a
BASEBALL TEAM
in the state of
KENTUCKY
--although
PLEASE SEE PHOTOS
for condition, as well--my hating to
GRADE
items anymore since so many sellers seem to abuse the old Goldmine system: adding a plethora of plusses with their own definitions of VG, EX, NM, etc. However, as my
FEEDBACK STATES
, I don't sell junk (since I, personally, don't like buying junk on eBay--or anywhere else, for that matter); and feel certain that this auction is
SURE TO PLEASE
the vintage
PIN COLLECTOR
and / or
CONNOISSEUR
(especially at the
OPENING BID
)!*
*As both my eBay
FEEDBACK
and
NOTES
from
HAPPY BIDDERS
can attest, I tend to
GRADE
my items a bit
HARSHLY
; but would rather a
WINNING BIDDER
be pleasantly
SURPRISED
(as opposed to extremely disappointed) with any
TRANSACTION
.
I always
COMBINE SHIPPING
on multiple auctions, and prefer to ship items by
PRIORITY MAIL
(available is asked for), but will make concessions since
FIRST CLASS
is so much more inexpensive when able to be used; and may be used by me, in place of
PRIORITY MAIL
, in the event of
MULTIPLE WINS
since, as indicated, every
ADDITIONAL AUCTION
/
ITEM SHIPS FREE
for all
ITEMS PAID FOR IN A SINGLE TRANSACTION
(meaning
DON’T PAY  ’TIL ALL OF THE AUCTIONS YOU’RE BIDDING ON HAVE ENDED
)! I also
REFUND
any amount overpaid on
POSTAGE
--although given I always add
INSURANCE
, and the fact eBay takes 10% of shipping off the top, I tend to lose money on, rather than profit from,
POSTAL COSTS
.
Reluctantly, with the
USPS
having continued to
RAISE THEIR RATES FOR ITEMS LEAVING THE COUNTRY
--which all but killed my
OVERSEAS SALES
--coupled with eBay's insisting I provide
TRACKING
and PayPal insisting I add
INSURANCE
, I joined the eBay
GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM
in hopes of saving my buyers money, but have since found out that this isn't always so. In cases such as these, I'm more than happy to look into
OVERSEAS POSTAGE
myself, when asked, and definitely recommend this for buyers wanting to make
MULTIPLE PURCHASES
since eBay's
GLOBAL SHIPPING
doesn't tend to
COMBINE SHIPPING
, and I can usually save my customers a considerable amount when handling
SHIPMENT
for them directly.
As this is an
AUCTION
--and not a
DEPARTMENT STORE
--I don't accept
RETURNS
; but since I try to be as thorough as possible in my descriptions, always include
INSURANCE
at my own expense, and (as my
FEEDBACK
notes) am known for my
PACKING ABILITIES
, there should be no foreseeable problems. I'm also known for my "
LIGHT YEAR
" / speedy
SHIPMENT
upon receiving
PAYMENT
; and always
NOTIFY
my buyers when payment is received and their item has
SHIPPED
!
