WELCOME TO Marty's Rescued Treasures (listed on eBid as "SellingOldThings) !

My Business

I have acquired a fairly large inventory of Depression, Art, Vintage, 40s-50s-60s, Antique, Crystal Art, and Crystal glassware plus a limited amount of Porcelain, China and Pewter figurines.
I frequent Estate Sales, Yard Sales, Auctions, Thrift Stores & Consignment Shops looking for the "Right Deal" that I can bring online. If I find it, I'll identify and authenticate it and get it ready for sale.
My listings are increasing as I pull more items off the "Darkside".

Many of my listings are for items that are considered "RARE", "UNIQUE", "ONE-OF-A-KIND", or simply "TOO GOOD TO WARRANT YARD SALE PRICES". If you disagree with the price that I have listed, contact me. I'll discuss my pricing methodology with you.

Items that I list have been researched for authenticity, etc. If you feel that I have mis-identified or mis-represented any item, please contact me with your concerns. I will coordinate corrections/re-listing with you once corrections have been verified.

I prefer payment be made via PayPal but will accept U.S.P.S. Money Orders if notified prior to auction's end.

I ship only via USPS and ship only to addresses that have been confirmed.

I will combine shipments if multiple purchases are made within a 7 calendar day time frame and I am notified that you are bidding on multiple items that I have listed. 

I do not charge for handling, only for insurance in excess of $50. You pay to ship USPS Parcel Select - I will upgrade your shipment to USPS Priority Mail.

Personal

My grandkids call me Grumpy because I love Disney. My personal collection is Vintage Disneyana which I will buy in a heartbeat if the price is right.

I am a retired PC Desktop Specialist - dealt with desktop PC's for over 30 years. Married, 2 daughters and 4 grandkids + two loveable furkids named Scarlett  & Sugar (Cavalier King Charles Spaniels). Love to camp & fish and travel when I can. Summer time finds me at nearby campground where I have a 27 ft travel trailer parked in a seasonal location.

I frequent yard sales, estate sales, consignment shops & auctions looking for those items that I can save from the garbage heap. I currently have an indoor booth (Building B-3, booths 20-21) at the Litchfield, Ohio Flea Market which is open now on Tuesday, Saturday & Sundy from 8 AM to 3 PM. Stop in & visit - mention eBid & receive a 10% discount on my merchandise (Vera Bradley items not included).
