Our History
We are a 'mom and pop' operation and started all this due our love of collecting unusual and collectible items of any type and category. Since we were much too eager with our collecting (no Viagara did not help) we now have a collection of collections! Obviously we are running out of room! So it was decided to sell some of our exess inventory. I started my first internet store a few years ago on a site which took a cut of our sales bit did not offer much in the way of website design and flexibility. This store still exists but I do not spend much time on it. Visit 'Just For Wraps' if you wish to see our earlier products. I then tried other free hosting stores and started 'Book Em Dano' (<= click here to visit) . This one was really limiting and I do not use it at all anymore. I sold books and other paper items there. The next one I still sell glass items in but again it is a free site which does not allow me any creative freedom so I do not update it too often. Visit 'The Glass Works".So all of these were fine but I decided to purchase our own domain with a website or sites over which I had complete control. This resulted in our primary store which sells china, porcelain and any ceramics based item. This is 'CHINA MINER' .
We then decided to purchase a second domain and started our book and paper items store 'PAPER TRAIL'
We have now been selling on the internet for over 2 years now and have sold all over the world.
We try to keep costs down on most of our items and usually price things so we just make modest return on our sales. We take customer satisfaction very seriously and will do everything in our power to make any transaction a pleasurable one. Some items may seem to be priced high but this is a value we place on it from sources we have researched and tend to enjoy that item so much that it would be fine if we never sold it. We are open to offers though.
