About

I am a Graduate Gemologist & award-winning jewelry designer that retired in 2020 after a 40-year career as a Midwest jewelry store co-owner with my wife. In my career I was a diamond importer, appraiser, estate jeweler, & colored gemstone specialist. I also served on the board of directors of the preeminent North American retail jewelers' organization, representing an area of several US states & all of Canada. Our listings are for liquidating merchandise left after our store's Going Out of Business Sale. We start at about the last sale price, then lower them $5 every month until we can't anymore because we are at a scrap / salvage price after eBay fees & postage. We include a Certificate of Appraisal at the regular selling price for any item originally selling at $500 or more. Buy with confidence knowing that we've maintained 100% positive feedback since joining eBay in 2004 & now have over 170 loyal followers! Just say you bought it from a reputable jeweler that had closed!

    Absolutely gorgeous ring - the stone is simply superb and just as described but more beautiful in person (& a great valuel!) It was very well packaged and the shipping was fast and easily tracked. I appreciated the detailed description and background information and the appraisal document is a very nice addition. It is great to work with authentic jewelers who take their work seriously, communicate well and make sure their product and customers are happy. I highly recommend this seller!

    This ring is beautiful! I love the various types of garnets so was happy to find this one. The seller had good communication, super fast shipping and a great price. The ring was as described and slso was packaged securely and it was in a gift box. Thank you for a good transaction.

The title of the CD says it all.
All the biggest hits from the guy that sold more records than ANY other artist in the world (including the Beatles) in 1968, and of whom Elvis said "the boy shore can sang".
MIM: Ohana Sopranino SK-21A All Solid Cedar / Rosewood Ukulele Uke *493
23 Aug, 2016
Outstanding Little Uke!
This is a great little ukulele; high gloss finish and beautiful abalone inlay rosette! It is tiny, but still playable, and I am a six foot tall guy who can ALMOST palm a basketball. It sounds amazing for a tiny instrument, BUT I have one caveat. With the strings it came with, it had intonation problems as you went down the fingerboard. After consulting some knowledgeable folks, I tried fluorocarbon strings. I went with GHS, but there are lots of options out there. After installing the fluorocarbon GHS strings, the intonation problems went away entirely. I purchased the matching hard shell case, and it is now my go-to travel instrument. I absolutely LOVE it!

Jensen 3-Speed Stereo Turntable with CD and Cassette Music System Base Unit
11 Feb, 2021
Compact Stereo Unit
Pros: Inexpensive. Very compact and versatile with AM/FM tuner, CD player, cassette player, and auxiliary input. Nice output system to connect to good quality speakers. FM reception is OK. Sound is fine except turntable. Cons: Turntable is tinny sounding. There are no bass/treble controls; only bass boost. Volume control is a goofy push button system. Wimpy FM antenna with no way to easily upgrade.
