OOAK Artist Teddy bear by Pat Hurley of Bears by Pat, Virginia Beach VA 14in EUC

Description

With regret, I am downsizing my teddy bear collection.   I have many different types, which I will be listing in the coming weeks (or months).   For now, I will only list them once to see if anyone is interested.   If not, I get to keep them (although I have recently relisted some of them).   :0)  I live in a smoke-free home, but I do have cats who are barred from the bear room(!).
Please meet Tippy, a wonderful OOAK Artist Teddy Bear from Bears by Pat Hurley in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  She was made in July of 1993.  She has all her tags.  She is made of a cream colored brown tipped mohair that is extremely soft.  Only her feet have pads, which are a canvas material.  Her tummy is filled with beads, making her on the heavier side.  She has glass eyes.  I've given her a floral colored bow.  She is five-way jointed and in excellent, pristine condition.  Tippy is just over 14 inches tall and weighs 1 pound, 11 ounces.  Could she be the one for you???  She is looking for a home where she can take Zumba classes with you and practice her balancing skills.  :0)
*****PLEASE NOTE:
In case you don't know, depending on where you live, ebay is now collecting taxes in some states.   When I send you an invoice or if you just pay for your item, I am unaware if you are being charged taxes or at what tax rate, as I am NOT the one collecting them.   Sadly, I may have lost a good customer over this, so I am including this note in my listings so there's no confusion.   So far, I only know about New Jersey (where I live) and New York (where the buyer who was so upset about this lives) are charging taxes.   I'm sure there are other states as well.  :0(
A quick note about shipping:    Don't you hate it when you're overcharged by a seller on shipping????   A gazillion dollars to cross the pond or go across the country.  It's ridiculous.   I am striving to be accurate in my listing, but sometimes ebay's calculator is way off (especially for those outside the U.S.).   When i calculate shipping, I add in extra weight for the box.    If you're interested in an item outside the U.S., don't be scared by what the calculator is telling you.   Please contact me and I'll find out exactly what it would cost to post to your country and make a note in the listing.  I'll never overcharge you.   If I quote you a number and i can get it to you cheaper, I'll immediately refund the difference.
Please note I am not an expert in teddy bears...I am only downsizing.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Please see pictures.  They are part of the description.  Additional pictures on request.
Payment is due within THREE days of auction end.  PayPal only.  Combined shipping is always available.   I only charge actual shipping costs.   If it turns out the shipping estimator is wrong above , I will refund you the difference.
I am willing to ship internationally, but please ask if I post to your country and what it would cost BEFORE you bid, as it could be very expensive.  Ebay's calculator can be off either too high or too low!
