Welcome to Thousand Planet! Treat our auction house as a place for learning, sharing, and treasure hunting. We list a wide range of collectibles, from modern art to ancient artifacts, and strive to provide as much information as possible without oversimplifying auction titles. We value your opinions and aim for transparency in age judgments without intending to deceive or cheat. Join us in discovering and enjoying these unique pieces, and grow together with us!

We handle all shipments using an overseas USPS agent, with delivery taking 2-3 weeks at a minimum cost of $20 based on total weight. For items valued above $300, we use insured FedEx shipping, with a minimum cost of $35 based on weight. Beads' age and descriptions are for reference only; bidders should refer to photos to judge their condition and authenticity, as beads' age determination is complex and nuanced.

All auction lots are mixed with low reserve and no reserve, still below actual market value. We will upload new items until the last day of the auction, so keep visiting for new lots being added. For best results, place your bids in advance. Lots with low interest or few responses may be changed; by placing an advance bid, you ensure the lot remains available.
