AGATE SLICE HAND PICKED 1ST QUALITY FREE STAND GIFT NEW
|
Agate Slice. Unusual present, gift idea, collectors and display item. This is a cut and polished Agate Slice which is guaranteed 1st quality. I purchase these wholesale at the source and HAND PICK every item. The photographs are of the one you will receive with a successful bid. Fantastic Natural Colours with great pattern, crystalline structure and shape. It's 110mm x 92mm x 4.5mm deep, and weighs 95grams. The photographs are fairly true to colour although they change colour depending on the type and strength of light on them. These are very difficult to photograph as light both reflects off the polished surface yet passes through due to the material. Why do I hand pick? All 1st quality Agate slices are generally good to look at but others have something special about them and I never choose one that I wouldn't want to own myself. I go through hundreds in different colours and pick on average, one in twenty from this top grade. I look for good cutting and surfaces and then for unusual patterns and markings. Most shops and other outlets are unable to do this and are basically sent whatever is left after buyers like myself have sorted through. Remember, these really are 'one offs'. They display best with good light and look great in natural sunlight. Agates make wonderful display and collectable items. Included is a free laminated display card and clear display stand. Take a look at my Ebay Shop for great Agate Slices, Agate Geodes of all sizes and Fossilised Tree Slices. Meteorites that make great talking pieces or unusual extra gift ideas. Also, Collectables, Cut Crystal, Reproduction items, Magnifying Glasses, Deco Figurines and Lamps. Cold Cast Bronze Figurines and Animals. Royal Doulton Bunnykins. Sterling Silver, Amber, and Costume Jewellery. Onyx Elephants, Fish, Dolphins and Frogs. Thanks for looking and be assured that it will be carefully packaged to ensure safe arrival.
Payment should be made ASAP but no later than 7 days from auction end. Checkout should be completed, particularly when not paying by paypal. I will generally invoice within 24 hours of sales end unless buyers have other bids on items finishing within 7 days. Unless e-mailed to state otherwise, I will allow those items to finish, and combine postage. No Customer has yet contacted me who has been charged any customs duty on delivered items, however, customers outside the E.U. could be charged custom duty on dearer items. I do not refund customs duty. I prefer payment by cheque or postal order from U.K. buyers, but paypal is acceptable, and more buyers actually pay me this way than any other. Overseas buyers should pay by paypal. All postage costs worldwide are shown in the listings when the item is available to overseas buyers. If not shown, please e-mail me direct through Ebay and I will get a price for you. Postage discounts will be given on multiple purchases at sellers discretion. I post from a main Post Office and always obtain proof of posting. Insurance against damage or loss is included in the postage prices shown. Postal Orders only accepted in GBP. Please remember that whilst ebay only provides a space for 'postage', this is in fact, postage, packaging, insurance, and a small handling charge for the great deal of time that goes into listings, photographs, packing and posting, etc.
All items are carefully packed by me in the most suitable packaging for the item sold. All immediate packaging, i.e. bubble wrap, is new, but I try to recycle when possible and often use shoe boxes obtained from the local shoe shop. I do what I can to keep weight down whilst ensuring that items arrive safely. I usually ship three times a week, taking all items to a main Post Office with proof of posting, and all items are insured against damage and loss.
I really don't wish to get into legal jargon here, especially as I have had very few problems with customers in the past. For my part, I only ask that you pay in a reasonable time, seven days being a maximum, unless you e-mail me first as to why you cannot, that you complete 'checkout' in ebay when you buy, and that you read everything before bidding, so you understand the terms of sale and payment methods. If I can see you are bidding on other items, I will usually wait for them to 'go through' and knock a little off the postage when combined. I never hold customers to ransom with feedback as some sellers seem to, I give feedback at the time I print an invoice for sending and ask that you consider leaving me feedback once you have received your item(s). It is an auction, and legally binding, but I'm very understanding, and particularly if you are new to ebay, will not hound you or leave negative feedback if you have 'bid too much by mistake'!! and do not wish to continue with the purchase. Just please contact me and do not ignore my e-mails as sometimes happens, and you will not find a more reasonable seller on ebay.
I work alone and have sold Antiques, Collectables, Reproduction items, Fossils and Minerals, Meteorites and Jewellery for many years, mostly from Shops, Antique Centres and Craft Fairs. I've more recently been selling on ebay and have a good reputation as an honest powerseller with exceptional feedback dealing in quality items, my mineral specimens all being hand picked. I package everything carefully myself and try to post three times a week, which means customers are not kept waiting for items for any length of time. I have never knowingly written anything in a listing that is untrue or misleading, and in part, this is why my feedback is what it is. I send an invoice and card with each sale stating that if you have any problem, to e-mail me through Ebay and I will do my utmost to rectify. I know many of my items are purchased as gifts and I am sometimes asked to send items direct to someone else. I am happy to do this but only if the item is paid by paypal. If you wish the invoice left out so the recipient doesn't know how much you paid for it, just e-mail and let me know at the time of payment. At your request I can attach a small printed card (business card size) with a short message, i.e. 'Happy birthday ????? love Auntie ?????, etc at no extra charge.
Please feel free to contact me by e-mail through Ebay if you require any other information about items for sale.
