Bidding has ended on this item. Item:GORGEOUS,antique,victorian,Valentine,MINT!, CUPID'S BOW

listing note....I'm going to be a gramma any day now....so if you see my listings getting low, not to worry I'm just enjoying my wonderful grandson. I also want to take a minute and say "Thank You" to my ebay family for all your well wishes...I cannot tell you how blessed I am with the most amazing ebay family, you all are “INCREDIBLE”

I WILL BE LISTING MY LAST “LOTS” OF VALENTINES TONIGHT FROM AN AUCTION IN CT, WHERE THEY WERE SELLING ITEMS FROM A “MUSEUM CLOSING.” I AM REALLY SAD TO SEE THEM COME TO AN END, AS THESE ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VALENTINES I HAVE EVER SEEN, AND I’VE SEEN A LOT LIVING HERE IN MAINE. PLUS THEIR CONDITION IS AMAZING….THIS LISTING IS FOR A GORGEOUS AND I WILL SAY ITS AS CLOSE TO MINT AS YOU CAN GET FOR A 100+ YEAR OLD VALENTINE…I DON’T USE THE WORD MINT VERY OFTEN…YOU HAVE TO TRUST ME, THIS IS A WONDERFUL CARD. I DID NOT PUT IT IN A GROUPING AS ITS SO UNIQUE…I HAVE NEVER SEEN A “CUPID’S BOW” BEFORE…ITS REALLY NICE…ALL EMBOSSED BUT YOU CAN’T SEE IT BECAUSE ITS NOT SHOWING UP IN THE PICTURES….THE CORNERS ARE FANTASTIC, THE INSIDE IS FANTASTIC, THE BACK IS FANTASTIC…ITS ONE IN A MILLION! YOU’LL LOVE IT, I PROMISE!

SHIPPING - FIRST, WOULD LOVE TO COMBINE....ALSO, I QUOTE TO USA RESIDENTS USPS FIRST CLASS SHIPPING, IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY LET ME KNOW AND I WILL CHANGE IT TO PRIORITY...FIRST CLASS IS PRETTY SLOW FROM MAINE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LOOKING, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT.....if you have a minute, please take a peek at my other listings........MARGIE

NOTE TO MY EBAY FAMILY - NEW SHIPPING POLICY PLEASE READ VERY IMPORTANT - eBay is forcing us to put insurance on each item…more shipping expense can you believe it…so, I AM TRYING TO REACH THE NEW “SELLER” DESIGNATION. I DON’T USUALLY CARE ABOUT DESIGNATIONS BUT eBay reduces fees, and IF IT WILL HELP SAVE MONEY then I can lower SHIPPING COST, THEN IT MAY BE WORTH IT….I WILL WORK MY BUM OFF TO MAINTAIN THIS DESIGNATION BUT I WILL NEED YOUR HELP…I WILL NEED 5 STAR RATING ON EVERYTHING, AND I HAVE MADE IT, THANKS TO YOU, ON THE AREAS I HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER - DESCRIPTION / COMMUNICATION, ETC - BUT WERE I’M RIGHT ON THE EDGE IS THE AREA I DON’T HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER - SHIPPING TIME AND SHIPPING COST - LIVING IN MAINE THE PACKAGES SEEM TO TAKE A FEW DAYS LONGER THEN MOST TO REACH THEIR DESTINATION, AND EFFECTIVE SEPT 22 EBAY IS FORCING US TO PUT INSURANCE ON EACH PACKAGE AND TELLING US TO JUST FOLD IT INTO TOTAL SHIPPING COST, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT, LIKE ITS NO BIG DEAL…BUT TO ME IT IS…SO THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO - IF I CAN MAINTAIN THIS RATING BECAUSE EBAY REWARDS THESE SELLERS THEN I CAN/WILL ONLY QUOTE / CHARGE FOR PARCEL POST SHIPPING (ON MOST LISTINGS) AND I WILL COVER THE COST TO UPGRADE TO PRIORITY SHIPPING,THIS WAY IT WILL GET THERE FASTER AT THE LOWEST SHIPPING COST TO YOU. NOW ABOUT SHIPPING TIME - I REALLY CAN’T GET THEM OUT FASTER THEN I ALREADY DO, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THEM OUT THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY OR DAY AFTER. SO HERE IS WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP - TO REACH & MAINTAIN 5 STARS….I WOULD APPRECIATE (IF YOU THINK I HAVE EARNED IT) A 5 STAR RATING HERE. IF I CAN MAKE IT AND MAINTAIN IT, I CAN KEEP SHIPPING COSTS DOWN, WHICH IS MY ULTIMATE GOAL, BUT IF YOU DON’T THINK I EARNED 5 STARS, WILL YOU LET ME KNOW WHY SO THAT I CAN DO BETTER, I REALLY APPRECIATE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS THIS IMPORTANT! I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS NOTE.

****As I say in all my listings, my items are very old, so please do not expect them to be perfect, I take alot of pictures (most cases) and sometimes rely on them to help you determine condition, as it would be maddening for me to list every little thing on items at, close to, or over 100 years old....I never buy new things. I buy things that are usually primitive and/or beautiful to my eye.....I love the amazing patina, the imperfections, the smell, just everything about old stuff is great to me, and I think if your looking at my items, you know what I'm talking about...........I TRY TO BUY (AT OUR LOCAL AUCTIONS HERE IN MAINE) THE BEST ITEM I CAN FIND AT A REASONABLE PRICE, SO I CAN PASS IT ON TO YOU, SO SOME ITEMS MAY NOT BE "PERFECT" BUT IT WILL NEVER BE JUNK!! No matter what, I'm absolutely positive that you will love what you buy from me......if you have any other questions, please feel free to email me.......but please do not bid if you are not 100% confident that you have enough information to accurately determine the items condition.....I love to help, so do not hesitate to ask me for more pictures......and again, thank you so much for looking at our items........Margie

If I made a mistake, I will gladly refund you're full costs.  However, please do not bid on any of my items if you’re looking for a piece that is 100% perfect, as most all my items are very, very old and YOU WILL NEVER FIND ONE OF MY ITEMS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION. If you are not 100% confident with my description, please email me for clarification prior to bidding. Please do not bid if you do not receive clarification, or if you’re not 100% satisfied with its condition, as my items are usually too fragile to go back and forth in the mail if unhappy.  INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - there will be times that your item may get stuck in customs…I was giving refunds when that happen with the understanding that I would be repaid once received…sadly only one buyer ever re-paid me so therefore, I’m sorry but I can no longer refund when shipping is delayed for whatever reason, however I will refund 100% if I am unable to supply you with a receipt from my post office showing date/cost of mailing…this way you’re protected too
