Don't worry everyone...I will run the items through a disinfectant machine or autoclave depending on what is most appropriate.
Regarding Ebay...I know on some items I have listed. I get lower bids on occasion because I list too many details...you know. There's a scratch here and one there and scuff here...then I usually get responses from the winner after the item is received saying...this is better than expected. Which is good! I would rather have it this way than misrepresent something. And if I do misrepresent. It is only by accident.
on the mend and doing much better than this weekend...
