Reverse Auction

Unique jewelry auction goes backwards;
As time passes, items get cheaper.


Q_ What happen to the auction stuff?

Hi Folks.

We regret having to shut down the auction page for the foreseeable future. We are moving in too many directions and have to make some tough choices in dividing out our time.

I (Marcus) am picking up where I left off a few years back, making sterling silver and fine art jewelry. This occupies a large portion of my time now, and no one is available to pick up the e-slack.

Instead of the auction, we will be increasing the items on the sale/ discount page, at reasonable prices.

We thank all the customers who supported the auction. If you get a chance please check out our sale page.

Now it's off to make jewelry!
Marcus

How the auction works
The biggest problem with most online auctions is that the prices keep getting higher as more people bid.

Solution: Every Monday the prices are reduced at least $2.00. The exact time of day varies from week to week. There is a box on each listing to show the original, current and future reduced price.

Payment methods: Auction items cannot be put into the regular shopping cart since they must be purchased immediately. Unlike the rest of the site, we only accept PayPal payments for items on this page. The first person to complete a PayPal payment wins the auction. If two people try to pay at the same time, the very first person will win, and the other person will receive a refund from Paypal. The same applies if the item reaches $0.00.

What's the catch? None. Shipping is free. You are purchasing from Oregon, so there is no sales tax. PayPal does not charge the buyer a percentage. The current price is exactly what you pay. If the price has gone down to zero, you pay nothing.

Because we specialize in fit to order bracelets and anklets, we offer these items in a full range of sizes.

UPDATE: 09/28/2007_We are listing some of the auction items over at our Etsy jewelry store, if you prefer shopping there.
