New website design and some cool new listings

Hello you firkin guys,

It’s been a minute since I wrote a blog post and frankly it’s because I have been a busy boy. Besides the normal searching for unique items I have been redesigning the website(as you could probably see). I liked the first one but I wanted a new design that had a little more flair. I also needed to have a place where I could sell individual items. I didn’t want a full blown eCommerce store because I list in 2 Eco-systems- Ebay and Etsy. So with the new website I have three: The store, Ebay, and Etsy. With a listing system vs. a full eCommerce store I can put a listing that points to whatever format I like….it all works out (hopefully).

The new website is clean and mean… nice layout, some cool visuals, and a good representation of our products.  We also have a great search tool to find the items you love by simple characteristics like Types, Price range, and categories.   We hope you enjoy it.

As far as new items I have found some way cool stuff. Here are some of my favorites:

This vintage (or perhaps antique) blue cut glass perfume bottle is like wooooaaaah.  I took 40 pictures of this thing and I had a hard time picking what to use in the listing.  It is in phenomenal shape.

 

Here is another perfume bottle that is almost as intricate as the first.  Look at that cut glass…just amazing craftsmanship.

Lets change gears… Look at this find.  Beatles trading cards.  There are a bunch of Beatlemania fans out there that collect these.  This is a lot of 250 that include series 1,2,3, color cards, and the diary cards.  What a lot!

I have also entered the Artwork arena.  I have a lot of opportunity to buy artwork and I was just always worried about shipping it properly.  Since i have now become a SHIPPING NINJA I feel like this is a good thing to offer our customers and something that could be really good for the business.

Here is a late 19th Century etching by Camille Fonce

Here is another one in color by G. Dinchat.  It’s a numbered piece #135 out of 500 made.

 

Lastly is this wonderful specimen… An Italian marble Koch & Lowey clock. It is really an awesome piece.

 

 

You know…I do not keep these items for myself often (except some vintage  golf clubs and balls hanging on my wall) but some of these new items are hard to let go of  However, I do want you to have them so buy and bid with confidence!  We take care of our customers and go out of our way to find some cool stuff.  We are a new business but we have years and years of experience.  We would like to share that experience with you.

Thanks for reading,

Chris
