Hello and welcome to my auction!
Update: As of 2/18/20, and the continued and unprecedented interest in this ribbon, there are now 67 of you, this is my final offering. I have now lowered from 17.99 per 1/2 yard to 15.99 which still includes free shipping on whatever quantity you purchase. No further discount available as I have now lowered by $4.00 total per yard. That is fire sale pricing for this rare one of a kind ribbon that is still as SOFT and STRONG as the day it was created. When it’s gone, it’s gone so Good Luck to those French Textophiles out there who know a to good to be true bargain when they see one! As of March 19th, my sweet Mother’s birthday who is learning how to walk and talk again, this will be taken off the market to reappear perhaps as transformed French art peices in celebration of my love of all things Marie Antoinette. (I only found out after my love affair with her in reading her diary, we share the same birthday.) So, let the countdown to the games begin as there is One Month left on this item and it goes off market. Thank you all again for your continued interest and Bonne Chance to any and all of you who have the opportunity to own this Divinely Fabulous ribbon.
Update: As of 1/22/10, and the unprecedented interest in this ribbon. There are 57 of you out there and you know who you are!, I am dropping the price on this again, for the final sale. I am dropping to $17.99 per 1/2 yard (18 inches) and for each yard you buy in quantity starting with the 2nd yard, I will discount each yard by an additional $1, plus no matter what quantity, shipping is free whether you buy a little or you scoop some yards up for yourself. I cannot go any lower on this as we all know about paying insertion fees, final value fees and then paypal fees on top as well.
You might also be interested in an additional auction I have for ribbon that is very similar only it they are rosebuds as opposed to flatter rosettes. The colors of the ribbon in this auction are more pastel based, the rosebuds in the alternate auction are more bright and vivid. Thank you again for your continued interest in this breathtakingly gorgeous ribbon. It is truly divine.
I was fortunate enough to acquire all 40 yards of this GORGEOUS FRENCH SILK RIBBON ROSETTE TRIM just brimming with Ultra Shabby pastel colored Roses made in France from either the 1920’s or 1930’s! OOH LA LA!
Update 10/31 – Happy Halloween! In getting ready for the holidays, and in a celebratory response to the overwhelming number of the loyal and dedicated fence sitters who have been continuously monitoring this particular gorgeous beyond description ribbon (and you know you all are), I am substantially lowering the price on this “absolute perfection” of ribbons to bargain basement pricing. Because you all are so many in number I have the visual of it being akin to the bargain basement table in a Macy’s Pre-Thanksgiving Day Sale where at some point I would probably have to call Security in to reign the mob in, for us all to Stop, to think and to once again – regain our control and self composure and be the human beings we all deep down know we all really are. After all, we are dedicated, loyal, faithful Ebayers with our flawless feedback, are we not? We have distinguished ourselves from the masses and throngs of people fighting over the table remnants. Thankfully this is a virtual sale and no one is going to get hurt in the process – not physically anyway. So, I can officially now call this – The Bottom Basement “Fire” Sale – as in how low can you go. In celebration and anticipation of the upcoming holiday season, I am extending my final offer to any and all of you who simply can’t wait on this ribbon anymore – @ the rock bottom price of $20 for a 1/2 yard inclusive of free shipping of course and I will go one step further that if you buy in quantity by the yard, for every yard you buy starting with the 1st yard, I will discount each yard further by an additional $2.00 off. I hope this will make everyone happy now. There is no need for the mob to fight over the table as there is coincidentally enough for each and every one of you to own the one yard you need for your projects with 2 yards to spare! Thank you again for your continued interest in my auction and Happy Bidding on this gorgeous beyond description antique, vintage eye “candy” colored ribbon!! Bonne Chance! (Free Shipping within United States Only. International Bidders, please inquire prior to bidding. Thank you very much for your understanding!)
Update 10/2 – Ok, I am reminded of Howie Mandel on Deal or No Deal. In light of continued interest in this DIVINELY GORGEOUS ribbon, I have reduced the price to $24 per 1/2 yard with free shipping from $30 per 1/2 yard with shipping. With Ebay costs, paypal costs, etc., I think like the contestants say, “Yes, that’s my final offer”. For every continuous yard purchased, I will make one futher concession and allow a reduction of an additional $2 per yard, bringing the cost to $46 per yard (as opposed to $48 and of course down from an original $60 per yard). I hope this helps everyone in their decision making process. Bonne Chance because you will ADORE THIS!
Update 10/1 – I have reduced this from 29.99 now to 26.99 for every half yard. As an additional incentive, I will reduce to 49.99 per yard for a further savings of $4 for ea. yard purchased.
Update as of 9/27 – There are alot of lookers, but so far no takers. In light of this, I have decided to offer a discount for every yard purchased. Instead of 59.98 per yard, I will discount every yard purchased by $5 per yard. Hopefully this will be the incentive that everyone is looking for.
Update as of 9/30 – As the number of lookers continues to increase, but again no takers as of yet, I have decided to offer Free Shipping to U.S. customers ONLY – no matter what the size of your order – perhaps this is additional incentive as well.
The colors are Amazingly GLORIOUS and accurate to photos!!
This is of course in excellent condition. It is nearly impossible to find an entire bolt that is still as intact as the day it was made 70 or 80 years ago! However….
In order to give Everyone who can appreciate this exceptional beauty an opportunity to own this Incredible RARE find, I am offering this heavenly ribbon in increments of One Half Yard (18″)auctions. (Oh, before I forget the width is approximately ¼” wide.)
I will cut according to order. So, if you choose to buy a yard, 1 1/2 yards, 2 or 3 - whatever your heart desires – it will be cut to the one continuous length of your needs.
International customers – please email for price quotes prior to bidding. Thanks for your understanding!
