How We Do It 

The "Standard" Process:

The sales process is a multi-layered one. The following outlines a "simple" transaction.  For this purpose, let's take a new, unused child's Tonka Truck as example of the item being sold:

 Pre-sale:

• We meet with you and examine the item to be sold

• Take multiple photos of the toy in a "set environment" to show it off at it's best

• The truck is weighed and sized for shipping
  

• We research the cost of the item in stores, online & in current auctions & "sold" histories

• An advertisement is designed to attract buyers

• We post the truck on a variety of sales environments, including eBay auctions

• The auctions are monitored and Shopper's questions are answered

• At the end of the auction a Winner Notification is sent to the Buyer, along with an Invoice, including applicable taxes and shipping costs

$$You are notified that your Tonka Truck has SOLD!$$

Post-sale:

• After the Invoice has been sent, a reminder email is sent to the Buyer

• The Buyer pays The Laughing Shepherd via PayPal, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Money Order, etc.

$$You are immediately paid!$$ 

 

• The Truck is then wrapped, packaged and shipped to the Buyer and tracking info is sent via email to the Buyer (nothing is shipped without you being paid first!)
  

• All Shipping & Tracking follow-up is done by us
  

 So, that is the process in the proverbial Nutshell! 

As you can see, there is an enormous amount of work that is required, but we get the results you expect-

WE SELL IT

FOR YOU!

Less "main-stream" items, Jewelry, Art and Antiques require a more in-depth appraisal with specialists prior to posting an advertisement in order to obtain the most accurate value for your item.
