Shipping Precautions When Temperatures Are Extreme

If you have ever pushed a mower around on a hot summer day and, a bit over-heated, stepped inside into a chilled, air-conditioned house, you might recall how the extreme shift in temperature seemed to give your body an uncomfortable shock. Then, if you immediately chugged down a tall glass of ice water you might give yourself a second jolt, and maybe a splitting headache.


The Vintage List

What Is The Vintage List? http://www.thevintagelist.com

It used to be that there were only one or two places where most people sold vintage collectibles online, which made it simple for buyers and sellers to find each other. Times are changing though - in the new Web 2.0 environment, a lot of sellers are opening multiple shops on a variety of different venues, and/or on their own websites.
