Affiliate / Ad Disclosure & Privacy Policy

by Sammy in 4 Comments — Updated August 2, 2022

Advertising and Affiliate disclosure

Some of the links on this website are affiliate links – that means that if you buy a product after clicking on one of these links, Sammy Davis Vintage gets a small commission. We are also a member of AOL’s Stylelist blogger network and the Stylehaul video network. As part of those networks, they place advertisements on our site and in our videos, that they control, and we split the revenue based on the number of impressions.  There are also Google adsense ads on our site that are controlled by Google. For those ads we get paid a small commission when you click on them. They have a very strict click fraud policy. So please do not click on an ad for any other purpose than your genuine interest in that product or service. From time to time Sammy might get paid an endorsement fee to recommend a product or service on this website or in her videos. When this occurs it will be fully disclosed in that particular post. If it is not disclosed, then she is not being paid an endorsement fee.

Please know that all posts or recommendations are not influenced by affiliate partnerships or advertisers and Sammy Davis would never recommend anything that she did not feel is consistent with her personal taste or style.

  1. the most random kind act i have given recently was to a guy that wanted to buy a car, but he didn’t have enough money to do so. i happened to be there while the conversation between him and the car dealer was going on. me being the nice person that i am am, i offered to pay the rest of the money the guy needed. it was 1,000, and that was the only money i have saved up. i am not a rich person, but i believe that giving that money, which was the only money i had made a difference in that man’s life. i thought i should share this with you.thank you.

  3. Hi Sammy Davis!
    I just wanted to say as an avid lover of thrifting myself, you’re blog is incredibly helpful. NYC has some amazing fashion finds!
    I checked out your eBay store too, you should really use World Lister for your listings instead of whatever you’re using now. They let you add videos and a bunch of photos which have helped my sales on eBay too because buyers can see more of my items and they don’t ask me a million questions anymore!
    Anyways, I look forward to more of your posts! Happy thrifting!
