DESCRIPTION~~~ NO RESERVE . we have a Rare ca.1780 Georgian English Mahogeny Inlaid Tea Caddy. Absolutely superb Double well example with original inserts covers and shell top with very fine frontispice and superb Vase and flower fronts. Original Key and by looking at it, it truly is extremely old and original. It does work and the seems are tight and superb. Measuring 7" wide and standing 4 1/2" tall with a depth of 4" and being in superb condition and offered from this Fresh estate with NO Reserve! Please take into full consideration that our starting price in NO way reflects what we have into the items listed. We May pay a hundred times the starting $9.99 starting price. We trust in the ebay system and believe the market will find the right prices for the pieces. We go to great lengths to bring the finest quality on ebay with NO reserves. Many people are astounded at the quality we consistently offer and are repeat buyers. Often times we put collections together just so that you will have a choice within that category.. Often times you will search ebay for quality antiques and t will be few if ANY bids on many of the items. Many people are very suprised to see t are bids on all of my items. I don't think t are too many sellers out t willing to let the market decide the true value of an object I ABSOLUTELY INTEND TO SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. It's not unusual for me to spend a day or two driving to an auction or working with estate sellers to find one or two good items that week and list them on ebay only to sell an item at a loss. I work at the fringe of current market trends and know what people are looking for. I often see my items at antique shows selling for three, four times what they sold for on ebay. I strive to get the best. we work to provide the best items possible with few problems. Please keep an eye out every week for new items I will be listing. This Spring and summer we will impress you with the same fine quality we have been offering, at "No" reserves and our consistent $9.99 start to our auction. In no way does this reflect what we have invested in these items . We ship all over the world.. No reserve as always.. We ship Anyw in the world We do not charge a handling fee with shipping. We are now listing shipping price, but please take into consideration these prices are "Without" insurance and we ask that you "WAIT" to pay for won items after the auction so we may add the necessary Insurance (required) into the invoice. Again! Do not pay for the item until we send you an invoice through ebay. These prices are also for East coast costs and West of the Rockies will require an additional charge. It's not us as the USPS has raised their rates 1/3. We ship Priority and pack very, very well. Insurance is included in all shipping prices. Our prices are very good. I know you will be happy. Please remember that all items are sold "as is" and sold that way, unless I make a mistake in the description. Someone asked a question the other day about "Private Auctions" and asked me why I do them. The answer is simple, In the past, many of my high bidders have been sent "Fake" invoices asking to be paid for that auction by scammers pretending to be Entourage1. This is for "Your" security. I am sorry, but I can't trust ebay's either. I have to protect my bidders. Another important point is that many of my bidders were asking me to make the list private because they did not want their names or accounts published. If they keep the names private during the auction, why list the high bidders name. I sell high end antiques and this really involves dealers, buyers and others who want to remain well "Private" Do you stand up at the end of a high end auction or any auction for that matter and Shout "My name is Maude Williams" after you win the item NO you don't!!!! I myself really don't want others to know what I pay for an item. It's really nobody's business. People can still track and item for what it sells for an be "Confident" in knowing I don't... read more
