Store History
We started selling on eBay in it's earliest stages over 13 years ago and have over 20 years experience in the antique business. We now have over 35,000 sales and manage over 7000 items currently listed in our 2 eBay stores: opamerica and bookstamp. Both stores maintain a Top Rated Seller status with feedback scores at 99.9% and 100% positive.
Our "Image" is Important
We are always evolving our stores with the latest of marketing trends and when you come upon one of our listings you know you have landing in a unique store on eBay. Knowing how important the photos are, we use large, high quality close up shots to showcase the item. These photos tell the thousand words that we can not write in a description. A step further is our ability to add videos of mechanical toys that are too complex to write a description of how it functions. This also gives the buyer confidence that the item is in working order and they can even hear it in action. Our newest feature is the capability to shoot 3D video of the toy in action giving depth of field and allowing the technology junkies an advanced way to show off their new 3D TV or Smart Phone which reaches the new growing market.
The Art of Picking
"Picking" is referring to the action of going out and finding rusty gold. The trick is to keep your buying mistakes at a minimum so the business can turn a profit. Having so many sales under our belt gives us an eye for what is in demand and what an item is worth. Many "pickers" may have their own niche but would rarely turn down a good deal. Our store sells everything from $1 starting auctions to museum quality pieces worth thousands. However, we have a passion for vintage toys and have the largest collection listed on eBay.
Time to Consign
Q: Why would someone use our service instead of listing an item their selves on eBay?
A: It could be because the consignor does not have the time to list the item(s) their self but what makes us successful at getting top dollar is our knowledge and "seniority" over other sellers on eBay. We are able to describe an item giving the details a buyer/ collector is looking for. Also if another like item is on auction at the same time a potential buyer is more likely to buy from us knowing they can trust the transaction by comparing our eBay feedback to a seller who has a lower score/ count. It is also a much easier way to avoid all of the hassles of selling it yourself while still making more than half of the total sale. There are several steps involved when selling on eBay so in essence we do all of the work and you collect a payment. First we research an item and write a description. Then it is off to get high quality photos. The photos then have to be resized and matched with the correct item. Once listed we are behind the computer all day to answer the questions a potential buyer may have and keeps them interested in bidding. When sold the item has to be packaged safely then shipped. We put detail in what we do knowing the more you make when the item sells the more we can make.
