Don't forget this little secret for Cyber Monday or anyday...

It's always Cyber Monday for me, or it's always Cyber Tuesday, Cyber Wednesday, etc.  A day doesn't go by without me blogging or commenting, advertising or twittering and even buying....I am ready for the huge onslaught of gift buyers and collectors adding to their collections, I am always ready, being a Cyber Monday or a Tired Tuesday.....here's a little secret I  want you to know...MAKE OFFERS to the small business selling online...like myself.
Before the weekend started, I was receiving "offers".  Because I am in the business to support my hobby of collecting Vintage glass, I must flip other items to sell.  Plain and simple.  I am not making a million dollars and I don't have a large power seller status, but I do want to make a sale, I am likely to counteroffer and then we settle with one more offer. Personally, I counter only once. When I first started to sell online and share my Vintage finds, I would forget to add the "make offer" status to every listing.....the smart buyers take the time, even if it is not in my listing, to send me an email and make an offer.  I am very glad they do as I am most likely to make a sale because they have set the price.  When I list, I can only make my best guess at what it might sell for, if someone comes along who says, "I would like that item but will only pay......." I am most likely to calculate my price out and let the item go.  *******SO, buyers remember: if you see something in a virtual store, anywhere, but especially Ebay, if there is an item you like but is much too high or the shipping is inordinate go ahead and MAKE THAT OFFER- it just might work!!  Sometime's those shipping calculations are guesstimates...again, MAKE ON OFFER to the seller....ask them to recalculate the price for your personal shipment....a credible seller should be able to do this for you and give you a solid price.  Sellers like myself, refund any shipping overcharges beyond the handling...regularly.  So, don't be afraid to MAKE OFFERS for both items and shipping to sellers.  Folks like myself depend on folks like you, good, honest, hard working, old fashioned bargain hunters...just like me...if I pay it forward to help you...someone will do the same for me....so, the secret is::::::on CYBER MONDAY and beyond...TRY TO MAKE AN OFFER and remember to have fun along the way....-=brenda  BWs Vintage Collectibles

Las Vegas Virtual Shopping, mom and pop


Shopping was never easier than this year!   Holidays can drag on and on and on, starting with the onset of Fall, way back in September!  Just one trip to the big box store on October 30, the day before Halloween, was confusing at best.   Displays had Christmas and Halloween together, and even had clearance sale shopping carts with Halloween things in them, the day BEFORE Halloween!  I don't know when the "shopping" time changed....I thought it waited until at LEAST November 1..?
But not any longer. bright displays with Holiday goodies and gifts take the stores front and center to send the message to consumers, "hurry up!  Buy now before it's all gone".  Folks like myself leave the store full of anxiety....perhaps I should have started my Christmas shopping in September?  
Alas, rest easy, shopping can begin at home...with vast array of items to choose, you can cruise anywhere to any site and shop-- then have things delivered to your door. 
Shopping at home will allow you to budget your gifts and relieve anxiety!  If you become a return customer to a particular store, look for discounts!  At the very least, you can order with confidence your items will be as described and they will arrive immediately.
BWs Vintage Collectibles is more than a Vintage Smalls Collectibles site.  Many of the items are brand new with tags.  The items are usually previous gifts given and the recipient never used them, putting them away in the closet.  
Providing 100% money back guarantee items to be as described and in good order, 1 day handling and shipping, and a 14 day return policy guarantee, if you shop at BWs Vintage Collectibles, you will be contributing to a virtual mom and pop shop (my case, a mom and grandma shop)~~a local business owner with honest and credible service.  You will be able to confidently return each and every occasion.  
**A local business owner who happens to be virtually modern, it is the new era.
If you bookmark your favorite sites and sellers, be sure to check for return customer discounts...BWs ' customers need only to send  a note or email to remind of their status (in case I miss it) and they can also subscribe to a bi-weekly newsletter....to receive a 2% discount on their orders over and above any current sale.
Relax, make your lists, shop in a virtual mom and pop shop this year; keep your business within the U.S.A. and contribute to the economy.  There is nothing better than having the holidays under control.  If we can't find anything to buy made in America, at least we can recycle items and we can buy in America!!!
