I'm going to take some time now to let you know about some excellent people I've worked with over the last few years. I can't do it all in one post at one time, but I will get a start and be adding as I go along. I will be inviting them to also add their own links and info too if they so choose.
There are quite a few auction/sales sites out there today. Not every one fall into the EBay trap. I used to sell on that site when I first got started, back when it was actually a fair site. Like so many now, I left a while back due to their ever changing policies, fees and restrictions. They've gotten a little too big for their own britches it would seem. When I left there I had/still have over 1700 positive feed backs, proud of every one of them too.
I will only brag on those sites that I have respect for and know to be a good clean and honest site with no hidden agenda. The sellers that are listing on these different sites are known to me to be A+ #1 sellers. Quality items, good communications with buyers, ethical handling of sales and so on. In today's economy, which just defies adequate description anymore as to the failings of the so called leaders of this country, we as buyers and sellers are being left hanging out to dry!
Who can afford to buy anything anymore? How can we afford the gas even to get to a Mall or shopping center to try and find something in our meager budgets?
What was it that Norm said one time on "Cheers"? "It's a dog eat dog world out there and we are wearing Mighty Dog underwear!" (could be a different brand but you get the gist!)
So, what do you do when you have a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation or any other special occasion coming up? You check your bankbook, you look at the little bit that's left on your credit cards, you see your gas tank down to the 1/4 mark, you want so much to show someone you care with a gift and you wonder what the heck can you do!
On-Line shopping. To be frank about it, I never used to trust it either! When I started selling on-line I learned a lot about what to look for, how to pay with secure sites, it took a while but I slowly became more at ease with it and now it's how I do darn near all my buying. If I could find groceries on line around here I would do that too! I've truly never had a problem with buying on-line.
The first thing to do is to check out the seller. Look at the feedback (ratings from other buyers) and one of the most important things is to READ their entire description of the item you are interested in! They all have Terms of Service, READ that too. Find out how they ship, what they charge for it, when they ship, what types of payment they accept and why, see if they have a return policy and if none is listed, ask them! Do that first then there are no "surprises" at the end of the transaction! If you still have questions about ANYTHING at all, then send them a message! All sites have a button to click on to "ask seller a question"! Use it!
I'm going to start off with MilBid.com. (it's the link I have the handiest actually!)
This is a great new site, potential all over the place! High standards, excellent variety and it is a site devoted to supporting our troops, both in the U.S.A. and overseas where so many are in harms way right now.
These links will take you to my particular site but you can access the home page (just click on "home" at the top) from there and find out more of what they are doing and what they stand for!

But, there are others too! I can vouch for the following sites, the admins are the hard working people that any one can identify with. Honest and diligent in the way they monitor their sites, just so buyers can shop with confidence. I have high respect for them believe me.

This is so true the days of driving all over the place for the best deals are well over for me. For a time I even had my groceries delivered, just saved me time and money. I too have found all the sellers and buyers great at MilBid.com. They are a fair and honest group, no excessive shipping to make up for FVF as there are none. Check it out you will find a great variety of items. Truly something for everyone.
