From the back cover:

This book is an extension of “Cylinder Musical Box Design and Repair” published by Almar Press in 1987.
Continuing research by the author and members of the Musical Box Societies world-wide has produced a store of new information

on musical box makers, design and restoration.

Further research in dating the popular and classical music of the period has enabled the musical boxes produced by eleven of the leading makers to be accurately dated over the period 1830 to 1900.

This information is all fully described with over 150 illustrations.

I GUARANTEE YOUR SATISFACTION

IF YOU WIN THIS OR ANY OF MY AUCTIONS ... UPON RECEIPT OF THE RETURNED ITEM IN THE CONDITION IN WHICH IT WAS SHIPPED TO YOU, I WILL PROVIDE A FULL, MONEY-BACK REFUND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM I CAUSED WHICH I CANNOT RESOLVE. AND WHEN I SAY FULL, MONEY-BACK REFUND, THAT MEANS YOUR WINNING BID AND ALL "TO AND FROM" SHIPPING AND HANDLING (S&H)

IF I MESS IT UP, YOU WILL NOT PAY THE PRICE

IF YOU'RE DISSATISFIED WITH YOUR PURCHASE AND I DIDN'T CAUSE IT (i.e., YOU JUST DECIDE YOU DON'T WANT IT AFTER ALL) ... LET ME KNOW RIGHT AWAY, BEFORE SHIPMENT IF POSSIBLE, AND WE'LL WORK SOMETHING OUT

"HOW DO I KNOW THE SELLER ACTUALLY SHIPPED MY ITEM?"

IN WELL OVER 2,000 EBAY TRANSACTIONS, I HAVE HAD ONLY ONE ITEM LOST IN THE MAIL, AND THAT WAS BECAUSE THE BUYER HAD AN OUTDATED SHIPPING ADDRESS ON FILE WITH EBAY AND PAYPAL.

SEVERAL OTHERS, INITIALLY THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN LOST, EVENTUALLY ARRIVED A BIT LATER THAN ANTICIPATED; FOR EXAMPLE, MEDIA MAIL HAS, ALTHOUGH RARELY, TAKEN UP TO FOUR WEEKS TO ARRIVE, AND ECONOMY SURFACE POST TO LOCATIONS OUTSIDE THE USA OFTEN TAKES UP TO TEN WEEKS TO ARRIVE.

IF YOU THINK YOUR ITEM IS LOST, E-MAIL ME AND I'LL PROVIDE YOU A FULL REFUND OF YOUR WINNING BID AND S&H IF I CAN'T PROVIDE YOU WITH EVIDENCE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR SHIPMENT SHOWING THE ITEM WAS SHIPPED AS PROMISED (i.e., USPS RECEIPT WITH DATE/TIME MAILED, WEIGHT, CITY/ZIP OR COUNTRY TO WHICH MAILED, AND A PHOTOCOPY OF THE CUSTOMS FORM FOR SHIPMENTS OUTSIDE THE USA).

SO, MY FEELING IS THAT INSURANCE (OR REGISTERED MAIL IN THE CASE OF SHIPMENTS OUTSIDE THE USA) ISN'T NECESSARY. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE. LIKE ME, A NATURAL BORN WORRIER, FOR YOUR COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND, ESPECIALLY FOR ITEMS OF HIGH VALUE, I RECOMMEND THE INSURANCE OPTION.

FELLOW TEXANS: I DO NOT COLLECT SALES TAX !!!

Yes, I still calculate it and pay it to the State, but I take it out of whatever I make on the sale. It's my way of saying I don't think you should have to pay 8.25% more than someone from outside Texas just because you're buying from another Texan.

Dang legislators and tax assessors hurt Texas buyers and sellers both. They oughta be taking care of their own instead of putting us all at a disadvantage compared to people from outside Texas -- let's treat them like they treat us next time you vote -- put them at a disadvantage to those running against them! And as for the one's that are appointed -- remember who appointed them!

PAYMENT FORMS ACCEPTED

Winners from USA: PayPal, e-checks, credit or debit cards but only through PayPal. Also, money orders, cashiers' checks, and personal checks SO LONG AS YOU HAVE A CONFIRMED STREET ADDRESS (no PO Boxes) ON FILE WITH EBAY.

I NORMALLY DO NOT HOLD YOUR MERCHANDISE WAITING FOR CHECKS TO CLEAR -- YOU PAY, YOUR ITEM SHIPS !!!

ON OCCASION, I MAY HOLD AN ITEM IF THE BUYER HAS HAD NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR NON-PAYMENT.
