ebay Store I Presume?
Yesterday, I was browsing on the ebay searching for toys and my next blog post.
As I'm searching for a new store and a new person selling toys, I see a very interesting name for a store. The store's name is Frankenstoy.
Well, that got my attention, and so I had to go there to see what toys I'll find.
Sure enough, not only did the store name get my attention, but so did the toys.
I wrote to the store, and Mr.Tomas Guerro replied. He wrote a very nice message, and gave me his permission to write a post.
As you will read, Mr. Tomas Guerro is very knowledgeable about toys. He
provides details about any damages to the toys. It's nice to see that
he provides this information to the potential buyers, and from his ebay rating,
the buyers have rated him very high.

I would have to say that writing this post most-interesting from the knowledge that Tomas Guerro had written for each and every toy on his ebay.
He's certainly most knowledgeable about toys, and honest about the condition of what he is selling. Both of these characteristics have surely made him
recognized as an excellent merchant on ebay. If I ever have to find information
on a toy, I'll visit his store to see what information there might be.
Also, he had a lot more toys for sale on his site, but I only picked 8 listings.
So that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed this post, as much
as AI did writing it.
As always, thanks for dropping by to visit,
and have a great part of the day or night, wherever you may be.
