Thank you for supporting American small businesses!
We have been at risk for quite some time as Main Streets have succumbed to mega-stores. This phenomenon has permeated eBay and other online sales forums in recent years. Customers who purchase items from
mod-designs4u
and other small businesses help maintain the viability of the diminishing American entrepreneur spirit!
mod-designs4u
is a “green shop” because we use recycled shipping materials such as used sturdy boxes and recycled shipping peanuts which keeps shipping costs low.
mod-designs4u
offers scarce and vintage items at fair prices because we want your business! How much fun it is to search eBay for used and rare items instead of looking at multiple views of the same new stuff!
