    Description

    Wisconsin estate auction find.    I'm selling this just as I found it --- all in an old box.  Inside were the two dolls, some spare dried apple heads, a clump of hair,  some extra eyes and two hands.  I'm not sure where the feather and what-appears-to-be a single chop stick fit into this picture --- but they were in the box so you get them too.  Nice, well crafted pair of folk arts dolls.  Questions, give me a shout.
    THE FINE PRINT AND FAQS:
    1. Carefully examine my studio-quality photographs.  I do my best to document any flaws or issues. I tend to go overboard in showing flaws.  I hate surprises when I buy on eBay as much as you do.     I also do my best to accurately describe the items I find.  Some categories I know better than others.  I will tell you what I know and what I have researched.  After that you are on your own.  Please ask questions and I will help out if I can. Some eBayers have been very generous helping me out with the nuances of certain categories.  Feel free to help me out with your knowledge.    I welcome your expertise and enjoy learning about new stuff.
    2.  I would like payment with 48 hours of your auction win.  If for some reason you can not meet that time frame, please let me know within that 48 hours and I will work with you.  If you can not meet this requirement, please do not bid.
    3. I basically sell "As Is."    That said, I will accept returns if I have been negligent in my listing information.  This includes outright mistakes, misrepresentations,  or any errors on my part. I do not know everything about everything (don't tell my kids that please).  If you are not sure about something and want to "try it out" at home before having "Buyer's remorse," please do not bid.   Every auction or estate sale I go to is "as is." I do better than that with my return policy.    I mess up once in a while and I have honored all returns.  Please respect this policy.
    4. I do not end auctions early unless you are offering to pay off my mortgage -- both 1st and 2nd.     I am not going to end an auction early for a lower-than-opening bid.  If an item does not sell in auction I will typically relist as a Buy Now It with a small price bump --- sometimes with an offer option. In that case, feel free to offer away.
    5.  I will combine shipping cost when possible.  If you pay first after winning more than one lot, I will refund some of the shipping cost. Or wait until I send an invoice.  Your choice.
    6. Have fun.   And keep communication lines open before and after the auction.
