Just wanted both buyers and sellers to note that those of us that either sell or buy that have been hit by Tropical Storm Allison may be delay in responding, shipping out items, sending payments, etc... due to mother nature. I know that for almost a week we would have periodic power outages, major street flooding, homes flooded, cars flooded, etc...
The list of towns affected by this storm keeps growing.
We received a negative from someone because we did not respond to them within 2 days. If they would have taken the note of where we are and would watch the national news they would have realized that we not only had power outage but were busy at our warehouse making sure everything was way up off the floor as it was in direct path of the flooding. We have now gotten all emails and items out and shipped. If you have anything that hasn't sold like we have - there are numerous families out there that lost everything and I do mean everything from clothes, furniture, knick-knacks, etc... Schools lost entire libraries of books, computers, etc... Donations are always welcome from any of those places. They told us any and all donations were appreciated. The flooding is so widespread from Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, North Carolina, all the way up the cost to Pennsylvania, New York, and Allison still hasn't gone away.

Because of the storm, I am being more patient.
I hope bidders will be patient with me. In California we have rolling blackouts. Last week a blackout knocked out my local Roadrunner for a day.
Sellers, please package your items in water resistant packaging. I haven't had a problem receiving wet items, but I have had bidders tell me that they appreciated having their items inside a plastic bag since they have received wet items from other sellers.
