Quinn and his family left Mexico for the United States shortly after his birth and eventually settled in Los Angeles, California. His father died when he was only nine years old. Quinn then quit school and worked odd jobs to help support his family. In 1936, Quinn made the leap into the acting profession. That year he had a role in the play Clean Beds with Mae West and appeared in the film Parole! This opened the door to other film roles, often playing the part of the bad guy. Quinn did some of his finest film work in the 1950s and 1960s. He played Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata in Viva Zapata (1952), a performance that won him the Academy Award for Actor in a Supporting Role. Quinn received that same honor again in 1956 for his portrayal of the painter Paul Gauguin in Lust for Life with Kirk Douglas. He was also nominated for Best Actor in 1957 for Wild Is the Wind and in 1964 for Zorba the Greek. Quinn achieved box-office success with starring roles in The Guns of Navarone (1961) with Gregory Peck and David Niven and Laurence of Arabia (1962) with Peter O'Toole. During the course of his career, Quinn appeared in more than 200 films. In his later years, he took on fewer acting roles and pursued his interest in art by painting, sculpting, and designing jewelry. Married three times, Quinn is said to have fathered 13 children. He died of respiratory failure on June 3, 2001, in Boston, Massachusetts."     Click Images to Enlarge                 Click Images to Enlarge U.S.A.

We would like to use this section to just clarify a few things that over the years have become minor issues that arise during the auction process and hopefully they will answer some of your questions. UseTheYellowButton@ebay.com - If you use the "Ask Seller a Question" button above and you hide your email address from us you will never get a reply. We receive hundreds of emails a week and use Microsoft Outlook to keep track of all of our emails. Unfortunately eBay's messaging system leaves a lot to be desired and just is not practical for business use. We want you to know that we absolutely do NOT share your email address with anybody and the quickest form of communication with us is directly with normal email. Spam Filters - If you use spam filters or your internet provider monitors you email please add boughtitsoldit.com to your accepted email list. Most spam filters filter out eBay content as spam. So, if you do not receive an answer from us within a reasonable amount of time, chances are your spam filter or provider has determined you don't really want to communicate with us. Shipping Insurance - All of our auctions require insurance, no exceptions. This is for our customers benefit and our own protection. Unfortunately for us Paypal will refund your purchase if an item gets lost in the mail or is damaged even if you didn't purchase insurance. With insurance we both are covered and neither of us will loose money should something happen to your item while in transit. Insurance charges are based on the value of the item and will be included in the shipping calculator and in our checkout. Confirmed Addresses - In order to be covered by Paypal's Seller Protection Policy we are required to ship to confirmed addresses. Again this is for both, ours and our customers protection. So if you are having difficulties paying for an auction through Paypal please make sure your address is confirmed. Shipping & Handling - We use the US Postal service for about 98% of our auctions and we charge the actual postal rate based on the shipping weight of the package, along with a handling fee. eBay's shipping calculator determines the rate to your zip code and displays the total including the handling fee and insurance. Our handling fee is based on the size of the item, the size of the box required and the amount of packing materials needed to safely deliver your item to you. Handling fees are also used to cover labor costs associated with picking, packing and shipping your item. We charge a minimum handling fee of $1.50. eBay Consignment Made Easy...
