So, what is Chinook's Treasures? Who is Chinook? Chinook was our pet ferret and is the mascot of my personal websites.
I am not a business but a private party seller that is selling my personal items on e-Bay, and other online sites, some of our items are new and some are used. Our site is more of a hobby then a business as I have a full-time job, but I can only ship on Saturdays. This site is to memorialize and a tribute to Chinook.
I pride myself on my selling practices. I have a perfect seller record with countless praise from our online customers and encourage you to read my online feedback from my buyers. I have a lot of pride what I do at our place of work or behind the screen at home.
UPDATE 7-11-25: It has been 15 years since Chinook the Ferret has passed, and I am not going to lie it does not feel that long. I kept his name out there as a company mascot on my online sites, written countless memorials, books, poems, and songs. It is great sadness that I am in the process of closing down all the Chinook the Ferret sites, The US government is not making this journey any fun anymore. To sell a trinket laying around my house and now have to pay taxes that eBay and other companies collect from online sellers.... , it is just not fun or worth my time and effort. The Biden administration surge in inflation is the final nail in the coffin and perhaps it is time. I felt guilt over Chinook's death so I feel I have done what I could to honor his memory. I will continue to maintain his sites but will not be selling anything anymore,
The Story Behind the Ferret:
We found Chinook, our pet ferret in 2004 on a dark cold night lost in our neighborhood.
He would have perish from the night elements if we did not take him into our home that night.
When no one came forward to claim him, he became an instant member to our family and has been a joy to both of us ever since. He was a fun loveable creature and what better way to show our love for him by making him our company mascot.
Chinook left us on February 22, 2012 of cancer. Our Music Tribute to our Ferret!
