SHIPPING WILL BE TO U S A ONLY ( if you are out of this country and are interested we can talk email me as long as you understand the prices and time it takes to get to you then I may agree I would then accept only paypal payments ) ???NOTE #1. PLEASE TRY TO ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE THE NIGHT THAT THE AUCTION ENDS I RUN 7 DAY AUCTIONS AND I AM NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTION 2 OR 3 HOURS BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS. BUT PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS AS ALL SALES ARE FINAL #2. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I SELL ITEMS THAT ARE NOT NEW, I TRY TO DESCRIBE THEM AS BEST I CAN.
