Welcome!

If you love the warm feelings that nostalgic vintage and antique holiday memorabilia bring, and you love the beauty and fun of antique dolls and toys as much as I do, then we have much in common! I am Cynthia J. Breen Vogel – also known as “Ziz” or Zizsdream on eBay – and I am the founder of Marcin Antiques.

Established in 2004, Marcin Antiques is an excellent source for some wonderful pieces in these specific areas. I love and personally collect these treasures as well and you can trust me to be knowledgeable about what I am selling.

My Areas of Specialty:

Vintage and Antique Holiday Memorabilia: items that date from the 1960s and earlier

Antique Dolls: my focus is primarily on pre-World War One bisque-head dolls from France and Germany – although I occasionally share desirable later-made dolls on behalf of other collectors.

Antique Toys: as with holiday memorabilia, I focus primarily on items that date from the 1960s and earlier.

I Also Sell Items for You!

From a single piece to entire collections, I am always looking for new inventory. There are two ways I can help you with items for which you would like to find new homes:

I can buy them directly from you at fair prices, or …

.

I can sell them on consignment. I charge a 25% commission with a $10.00 minimum – plus any PayPal fees (and any eBay fees for items sold on eBay.) Here are some examples:
- If I sell an item for $100 on eBay, the outside fees average around 15%. When you include my 25% commission, then I would send you a check for $60.00.
- If I sell an item for $100 on my website, then the only fees would be my commission and PayPal’s 3% – so you’d receive $72.00.

I will choose the best avenue for your item or items, which will include either listing the item on eBay, or selling the item on my website. Please review some of my past sales and prices realized.

If you have items that you would like me to sell for you, please email me with a list of what you have, along with some photos of the items. Or call me at 717-725-6373 (Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm ET.).

Why Should You Trust Marcin Antiques?

I am an eBay Top Rated Plus Seller. I’ve been active on eBay since 1999, and have 100% positive feedback.
I offer a 100% money back guarantee – including all shipping costs – if you are dissatisfied with your purchase within 30 days.
Since I am very knowledgeable in my chosen areas of specialty, I will never sell a fake or reproduction.
I describe my items thoroughly and will describe any flaws or issues with each piece in detail. I take multiple pictures of each item from every angle, using professional photography equipment and lighting.
I am well-known for my packing! I carefully wrap each piece in tissue, then surround it with many layers of bubble wrap, air pillows, Styrofoam peanuts and more. I ship in heavyweight boxes, Priority Mail Insured, with tracking.
Whether selling my own acquired pieces, or selling on behalf of a consignor, I very actively market my items for sale. This means posting (when permitted) on Facebook groups plus promoting on my own pages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and more. For higher-value items, I can also invest in “pay-per-click” advertising with Facebook/Instagram ads, Google AdWords, and Twitter Ads, as well as retargeting "reminder" banner ads and more.
