I prefer DIRECT BANK transfer through Paypal. NO PERSONAL CHECKS please! Payment is expected within 3 days of auction win unless otherwise arranged before auction end. I definately prefer PAYPAL but, if it is necessary that you pay by MO or Cashiers Check, payment must be mailed within 3 days of auction win.

I am not a business and do not buy packaging materials in bulk. My shipping costs include a small portion to cover packaging materials. I will always package your item they way I would expect my own purchases to be packed - carefully and safely. If you do not agree with my shipping costs, please don't bid on my auctions. If you happen to win more than one of my auctions, I am happy to combine shipping to save you money. However, I will not be able to accurately calculate your rate until after the auction ends. All items are packaged and put into the postal system "as described" and I am not responsible for lost or damaged items.  All items are shipped with delivery confirmation.  Your auction will be mailed within 2-3 days of the receipt of your payment - I work and cannot always get the the Post Office the next day. Quoted shipping rates are for the Continental United States - Alaska, Hawaii or other US territories, please contact me for your rate.  I will ship to Canada, but you must contact me with your postal code for your shipping rate.

All sales are final.  The items you are purchasing have all been previously owned.  I do not live in a pet free home, we use normal household cleaning items, air fresheners, etc.  MOST of my crochet book collection has been purchased from a third party at estate sales, ebay auctions, used book stores and other sources.  If old paper odors, storage odors, or others outside of my control, bother you then this may not be the auction for you.  I will not ship items "covered" in pet hair however, you may find one or two.  PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING!

In my quest build my own crochet pattern collection I have purchased many Lots of pattern books, leaflets and magazines - usually from Estate Sales, Ebay Auctions, Used Book Stores, etc. This means that I have collected many duplicates and literally 100's of books that I could not possibly use in my lifetime. I am not a business and my auctions are not intended to be represented as such - I am literally cleaning out house before someone else has to do it for me! The books I list for auction, unless otherwise expressly noted, are all used. Some are in better condition than others, some may even have writing inside from someone else (I don't write in my own books) but they are all useable and complete to the best of my knowledge. I will strive to note all defects i.e., writing, tears, rips, stains etc in my descriptions but I am human and I may miss something small or something that I don't notice because I am used to working with used books. Please ask me questions - I will answer without hesitation.
