Dear Sun Spots: I would like to sell some items through eBay, but do not want to set up my own eBay account. Are there people in the L-A area who take items on consignment and sell them on eBay? What do they charge as a commission on such sales? Thanks. -Anne, Lewiston.

Answer: Sun Spots located ABC Cybersell, who say they will be able to assist you. They take a 25 percent commission. You can reach them at (207) 925-3242. They are located in Lovell.

Dear Sun Spots: Is there anyone that might know where I can buy pickled cauliflower in a jar? I do not mean with other pickles. Just cauliflower.

Also, does any store or other outlet sell marinated mushrooms in a large container such as a quart or gallon? Thanks. – Tom MacDonald, Eustis.

Dear Sun Spots: What can you tell me about Finn Comfort shoes?

I bought a brand-new pair at a thirft store, and they have been an incredible amount of help for a painful back and hip problem. I know they are made in Germany, but that’s about it. Thanking you in advance for your help. – E.L.C., Lewiston.

Answer: According to www.comfortshoes.com, Finn Comfort shoes are world-renowned for their ability to make even the toughest foot comfortable. Finn Comfort shoes was founded in 1945, in Hassfurt, Germany – a beautiful little village in the state of Bavaria. The company was started by the Kanner family, and they still run Finn Comfort to this day. In fact, Finn Comfort shoes are still produced in Hassfurt – almost 60 years after they rolled out their first pair.

Finn Comfort shoes began their march towards becoming a global brand in the mid-‘80s. During this time, the Kanner family started importing their hand-made shoes to Canada. They quickly developed a cult following, convincing the Kanners that they had done the right thing. But they weren’t finished expanding.

Soon, Finn Comfort shoes were available in the United States and other countries as well. Currently, the company has distribution facilities in Montreal, Canada, and Thousand Oaks, Calif. The shoes are now sold in 35 countries around the globe. Their production levels have exceeded 1 million pairs of shoes every year.

Finn Comfort shoes are for sale at Bergeron Shoes at 911 Main St., Sanford, ME 04073, or via toll free number at 1(800) 327-3674 or via e-mail at [email protected].
