Please remit Domestic "Snail Mail" Payments to arrive at my door within seven (7) days. Winning bidders are kindly requested to contact me within 3 days after close of auctions. Payments via PayPal are considered "Contact". Thank You.
NOTE: If you need to make special arrangements for payment, please do so before you bid.
I prefer PayPal Payments as soon as possible after the close of auction (within 3 days). International Money Orders cannot be accepted; PayPal Only, Please.
I am offering Local Pickup on all items, for which there is never a charge. I CAN DELIVER UP TO 250 MILES FROM BEL AIR, MD. TO A GROUND LEVEL ENTRANCE. FOR LARGE ITEMS ASSISTANCE AT YOUR END WILL BE NEEDED. I CANNOT DO STAIRS SO IF THEY ARE INVOLVED TOTAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE REQUIRED AT YOUR END. I CAN ALSO ASSIST WITH DELIVERY TO ANYWHERE IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S. For a quote email me you City, Town, State and Zip Code and I will furnish you that charge. Any Packing and Crating charges will be separate so please ask prior to bidding, otherwise all items will only be blanket wrapped.
I ship smaller items twice weekly, Tuesdays and Fridays. I will ship worldwide by USPS, FEDEX, UPS or DHL. For International Buyers, please contact me for shipping rates and/or preferences. I encourage local pickup, as it saves you shipping costs, me packing, material and time and ensures you receive the item in the condition you see it in. Payment is expected immediately, if you use Buy-It-Now, using PayPal, unless other arrangements are made in advance. I ask you to be sure to ask all questions prior to bidding, as I do not sell on approval.
Although all items are packed to the best of my ability to ensure safe arrival. Since some items may require special attention or additional handling and packing, part or all of the extra costs may be added to your invoice. For this reason, I ask you NOT TO PAY BEFORE I INVOICE YOU if this is the case. Please email me with any requirements that you feel I have not included and I will give you my cost for honoring your request. If I have offered local pickup only and you are willing to pay for packing and shipping of an over sized item, the item will be shipped from you to you with insurance required and once delivered to the designated shipper, any claims for damage will be between yourself and the shipper. I will forward the documentation from the shipper to assist you should a claim become necessary. All professional packing becomes the sole responsibility of the buyer.

All items are sold in "As Is" condition, especially Antiques, as they can have occasional wear spots, dents, and scratches that cannot or should be removed as that would lessen the value, and you would be purchasing a restored item which would be valued less than you can expect to receive for an antique.
All items that require Shipping or that you will be picking up please note the following conditions. Prior to your bidding on a item if you need special arrangements for storage please let me know, and I will work with you as much as I can. All items are to be scheduled for pickup or scheduled with a shipper within one week of end of auction. If you do not inquire I have to assume this is not an issue for you. All payments need to be made prior to pickup or a scheduled delivery. Any item or items not picked up or scheduled for pickup that are left for more than 30 days will be relisted and sold for storage fee's. Note: I will work with anyone that special arrangements need to be made for,so please make your requests known prior to bidding.
I will give always give you as much information that I have acquired or that was passed on to me when I purchased or acquired the item. I do describe all items to the best of my ability. I will point out any blemishes, and list any item that I am aware of as not original. I ask you to please take into consideration that I am not an expert on anything and I always present you with as much information as I can, and on some occassions will have to allow my phtographs to speak for me. Since no two persons look at an item exactly the same, please be aware of this should your opinion differ from my description.
Please feel free to correct me on any description detail as it will allow me to pass that information along.
THE FINE PRINT
If you are a bidder with two or more negative feedbacks, or a feedback score of less than two (2), please contact me before placing a bid or I reserve the right not to honor it. If you have no intention of paying for an item, you leave me no alternative but to leave the appropriate feedback and report you as a Non-Paying Bidder.
I leave my feedback once I have received yours, as this informs me that you have received your item and are happy with it.
If on the off-chance you are not happy or satisfied with an item, please e-mail me, as I am sure anything can be sorted out before we trade negative comments about each other.
