GABA Russel Stanger Plate Kitakyushu Symphony #1 Opus10

This plate is from the estate of the Virginia Symphony conductor Maestro Russell Stanger. It is made of blown rolled glass by G.Gaba in 1998. It was made to commemerate his Symphony No.1 Opus 10 Kitakyushu in 1989. I believe this was presented in the city of Kitakyushu in Japan. You will find some very nice info on the following ODU page

PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS BELOW shipping will be figured at $free in USA with tracking. Insurance is extra. Just don't give me a bad rating if you go with first class mailing as it is slower to make it to you. I'm finding people are blaming me for the speed of the post office which is totally unfair! I take Paypal, gold, silver and right arms for payments!
If you have not read down this far and then you email me asking me what the postage charges are for the USA, I am going to make fun of you for NOT reading and add a $5.00 handling fee to the total. The reason why I am adding this to my listing is, I am finding more and more people are not reading the pages as they should. Remember this, by bidding, you agree to ALL terms of the sale and you are signing a contract by placing your bid! hehehehe
Any payments made after 12am est Thursday morning (Wednesday midnight) will be mailed on Mondays. I go to the post office every day Monday through Thursday.
Insurance is at your option and at your risk. If you choose not to insure a shipment (to save money) and it is damaged or lost, I cannot be responsible for the performance of the USPS or anyone else who may gain access to your mail and packages. Here is the Fee chart for Insurance Coverage from the usps.com website. These prices are only good for inside the USA.
$1.70 ................ $0.01 to $50
$2.20 ................ $50.01 to $100

this is my baby boy who died in my hands on 11-26-05. This is my tribute to him being such a good and loving little boy. Dinky 7-01-03 to 11-26-05 Dinky 7-01-03 to 11-26-05
S/H and Payment
I NEVER charge a handling charge, only actual postage or less. If for any reason the postage is less than quoted, the difference will be refunded. Insurance is offered at an extra charge.
I accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex through Paypal and PayPal eChecks (Held until cleared before shipping merchandise.) Va residents add 5% Sales Tax. For fastest processing, pay us securely through PayPal immediately after auction ends.
| IMPORTANT: I will ONLY ship to the PayPal specified address on your PayPal payment. If you want your item sent to a different address, this address must be added to your PayPal account (as a secondary address) before making payment; then select this address when payment is made.
Combined S/H Discounts
I am happy to save you money by combining your purchases of different products into a single transaction; but be aware, the savings primarily come from reduced processing and paperwork and actual postage savings. Ebay does not do this automatically, so to benefit from these savings, you must request combined shipping:
Therefore, if you are making multiple purchases, do not checkout and do not pay for anything until you are finished buying. Then request a "combined invoice with discounted S/H" for all of your purchased items.
eBay's Feedback Policy
In 2008, eBay initiated a radically new Feedback system which includes Detailed Seller Ratings (DSRs) which directly affect the fees sellers must pay. Most buyers probably have no idea that eBay penalizes sellers who do not get full 5-star ratings. This is a "Back Door" tactic that eBay uses to grab more fees off the top of an eBay transaction. Although there is only a 5% penalty if a seller averages less than 4.9 in ANY category, if ANY category is less than 4.8, the added fees are tripled. And if less than 4.6, even more fees and penalties are added. Furthermore, if a seller does not maintain a 4.3 average, they get booted off eBay. Please think about this before you post your ratings.
My goal is to get a 5-star rating in each category for each transaction, and I work very hard towards that goal. If you are satisfied with your products and this transaction I would really appreciate all 5-star ratings so I may continue to serve you in the future. And if I should screw up, please give me the "benefit of the doubt" and a chance to make it up to you in another way. Please do not allow eBay to squeeze honest and well-intentioned sellers. This ultimately will only add to the buyer's costs.
As you can see from the comments from more than 10,000 eBay transactions, I am an honest and honorable professional person. If there is anything you object to regarding policies, prices, products, S/H rates or time frames, please email me, but please DO NOT BUY FROM ME until you are 100% agreeable. If you do buy from me, I expect you to be honorable and judge me on how well I have fulfilled my stated policies.
Two of eBay's bigger complaints are inflated S/H Rates and Lengthy Shipping Times.
- If you object to the S/H charges on any product, DO NOT BUY FROM ME; but if you do buy from me, and I do not charge you more than we stated, then I deserve 5 stars in the "Shipping and handling charges" DSR. This is especially true if you buy miltiple products but do NOT request a "combined invoice with discounted S/H" since each item is priced for individual shipment.
- If you object to my Shipping Times and think getting your order out within three business days (or maybe another day or so for foreign orders with customs declarations), is too long, DO NOT BUY FROM ME; but if you do buy from me, and I get your order out within this time frame, then I deserve 5 stars in the "Shipping Time" DSR, regardless of how long the carrier takes to deliver the parcel to you. It's "Shipping Time", NOT "Delivery Time!"
Lastly, but most importantly, by monitoring our feedback continually, we can determine if a buyer leaves us unjustified low grades. If this is the case, we will block that buyer from future purchases. There are people in cyberspace who are not very bright or not very honorable. If you are one of them and do us an injustice, you won't get a second chance.
If after posting feedback, you do not receive your feedback after seven days, please contact me so I can fix it.
