Close-Outs, One-of-a Kinds, Etc.
For me, it is truly hard to believe that it’s actually 2010 and we are already a decade into the new millenium. Ugh, what a word to use…millenium! It makes me feel old, lol.
Anyway, this last year has brought many changes; some good, some bad I guess. As with every year. I’m sure it’s been that way with you, as well. For us, we’ve had to streamline things in our brick and mortar store, take a good hard look at the books. We’ve realized that in our town, people are just not supporting us like we thought that they would the the last 5 years. The mall giant, Wal-Mart, remains ever popular and people in our area are far more interested in electronic items than in the unique, hard to find, unusual, different and rare quality items that we looked so hard to fit our store with for the last 5 years with.
So, with a very heavy heart, we made the sad decision to close the gift part of our store, put much, if not all of these items online for sale. For many of them, there is only one available. Sometimes there might be one or two. In any event, we will make sure to mark these items so that you will know how many are actually available. They will be usually shipped priority because we have found that priority shipping (Postal Service) is faster in general, and usually receives better care. UPS often will bruise and bash their boxes about.
Should you decide that you would like more than one item, you can certainly have us box up several things, choose a different shipping method and of course your shipping rates will be combined. Your shipping rates would of course go down. You also do not have to use PayPal on our website. Feel free to email us, let us know if you are interested in anything in particular and we can hold certain items for you by credit card, then combine your order for shipping as soon as possible.
Though sad for us, as we close out a chapter of our lives, it is a way for you to bring some lovely things that we worked hard to bring into our store for people to choose as gifts. Now, may they be wonderful gifts for you or a loved one instead!
We will be taking photos, adding descriptions and creating web pages for our store items within the next 4 to 6 weeks. It takes and enormous amount of time to work with even a small amount of inventory so please be patient with us!

Nice post, this is exactly the information I was looking for. Are you going to be covering this topic in greater detail soon? Hope so! Thanks
Are you talking about the solar? I am assuming you were more interested in that, than in close-outs
Actually, I’d like to do more info on the solar because I find it fascinationg. I probably won’t get to it for a few more weeks, though
