Followers, previous customers, friends, my wife and I are winding down our relationship with the Chairish and 1st.Dibs ecosystem after a series of disappointing events have effected my reputation as a seller and which I have been prevented by the Chairish management who also refuses to compensate us for these events.
As a result, our store will be closing permanently in the coming New Year. If something appeals to you, please purchase it as a Christmas present to yourself. We still maintain great hope that the things we have loved and enjoyed using may still find homes where that treatment continues.
And so, as stated previously, and now even more true than before, I continue to defy all but necessary laws of physics. I am also unclear on the scope of the word "necessary".
Sales of treasures to those found to be ill-suited are rarely entertained because the majority of these are items have been held and maintained more in keeping with the concept of stewardship than ownership. As a result, we only entertain those transactions that represent a civility in negotiation that holds the greatest likelihood for happy agreement between like-minded individuals with respect to certain piece, or an entire collection. So where the right amount of cash intersects with an appropriate future curator or an interesting trade is presented, we will gladly part with the item(s) and hopefully make new friends, interesting acquaintances and further extend a network of stewardship for these pieces in the process.
Please take the time to peruse and enjoy our store and its attendant inventory of booty and trinkets, while remembering to visit frequently as the inventory is never static in nature. New items appear less frequently than I might like, but this is because the process of introducing inventory is something that we do not undertake casually. Finally, items will likely appear in larger groups of listings which reflect both economies of scale and the limitations on the time available to create these new listings.
Happy shopping and thank you for visiting our virtual shop!
