Welcome and Introduction

Thanks for coming by.  At GinFor's Odditiques, you'll find some familiar names but not just the usual suspects.  As I like to think Dr. Frankenstein might have said to Walt Whitman, "I sing the body eclectic." (Apologies to Walt.)  The internet can be a mighty impersonal place, but we hope you'll feel comfortable within our rather eccentric virtual walls.  You'll find our cats wandering around, and there are puns mixed with the pottery, maybe some giggles with the glass.

We buy what we like (and what we can get at a good price), so what's on the site is what I call our rotating collection.  I've never knowingly passed up a sweet piece of Roseville at a good price, but I don't buy by name.  We're one of the first sites (especially in the US) to offer a significant selection of West German pottery.  At any given time, you're likely to find numerous items by companies or people you never heard of before as well as unmarked and unidentified items.  If it's quirky and well done, we'll go after it.  When people ask how we can part with really neat things, the answer is simple.  We get to go look for more.  Well, once the cats are fed and bills are paid, then we get to go look for more.   So, all proceeds go to support good causes: my spouse, our cats, our creditors, my auction addiction, and the plumbing project that never ends.

Our guarantee is simple.  If you don't like the item when you get it, then mail it back for a full refund (including whatever you originally paid for shipping).  Your only risk is the cost to send it back.  If there's a mistake on our end, then we also pay the return shipping...one of several reasons we try not to make too many mistakes.

We like to make payment simple as well.  If we can put it into the bank without too much trouble, odds are that we'll take it.  Checks and money orders are just fine, as is Paypal.  Right now, we can only take credit cards through Paypal.  If you want to do some other online method or even want to pay with cash, we're flexible.  Sorry, but Monopoly money, anything you may have printed in your basement, and chickens are right out.
