…IF
U R the lucky person that owns my
creation, I would appreciate any feedback…
FYI:
I do humbly apologize to you for my having to charge you for shipping my hand
made leather goods. As you read in the beginning ov my next paragraph, I make
very little “profit” & our United States Post office keeps raising the
price for their services at a minimum ov $4.32 & up for mailing your purchase.
I work awfully close with my selling
prices! I figure my cost of
materials + my Shipping & Handling and about 5%-15% profit so I can afford
to buy more materials.
Leather is expensive, TOOLS
are VERY costly & this is one ov my hobbies, you will notice that I re-use the envelopes that I get my medications
in from the VA so I can save money. Also please remember that eBay
takes almost 15% ov my selling price which does not leave me much profit.
This is way I can do what I enjoy and provide a quality product that U can enjoy
and pass-on from
generation to generation.
People that do leather work as a profession usually take cost of
material + hours X’s 3= HIGH RETAIL, (not me).
I take
my cost +/- 15% = what you pay Stai-Nu CUSTOM Design Co, aka, (Bob B). Everything is
Hand Made right here in Dania Beach Florida, U.S.A.….. and
YES I was a Military Police sergeant in the United States Army
I ask you if you are happy with
my service & product, please respond to eBay & maybe even put my eBay
address out in your face book page, with all ov that being said, this Old Vet
thanks you once again. FYI, I made my first holster in the year ov 1954…. U do
the math.
I, as an ex-cowboy AND as a Leather
craftsman, cannot compete with Chinas’ prices. BUT what
I can do that they don’t do, is that I can AND do make ur purchase
personalized. Everything that I create
starts out as a hide of LEATHER. I make
my own patterns and I then trace it, cut it out. I then do whatever I have to
produce a fine quality hand crafted ALL LEATHER creation that you helped
me create. I hand sew whatever needs to be stitched. What I do is commonly
known as “Saddle Stitching” and it too, is done by hand. Some of my customers want me to personalize
their order. Personalized work
could be anything as simple as dying (not paint) your order to your choice ov
color, or simply stamping YOUR initials or as expensive as “hand
tooling” their order, (floral, animal or even insect motif).
CUSTOM
work sometimes requires me making a “working” template along with a
drawing of the tooling (which involves hours of work). I then, either
email this oak tag replica and the customer and then they send me their
approval at which time I give the customer a quote on the price. with all of
this being said, I then expect the customer to pay me a 50% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit
through my account with “Pay Pal”. Everything is Hand
Made right here in Dania Beach Florida, U.S.A.….. and
YES I was a Military Police sergeant in the United States Army
My initials are BB and my # is 8
(eight) so you will see my signature on everything that I create: My
number is 8 & by extending the down stroke of the Y in “by”,
to dissect the 8 in half, I now have back-to-back “B’s”. IF
U don’t see my signature, then it’s not an original.
