Some of the auctions might end at times you might not be available to bid in the closing minutes or seconds...be sure to place your bid when you come across this auction and early so you don't forget...let ebay proxy bidding take away the worry of being outbid...place your maximum bid and when someone else places a bid ebay will automatically place the next higher bid for you up to your maximum...you only pay the maximum if someone else bids that high...you might end up getting it for the opening bid...is always a chance but at least you are covered!...if there are any questions about this kind of bidding process please contact me.

Enlarge available pictures for final description and bidding purposes...email with questions prior to bidding...Check out my other items!...I do combine shipping...Please respond within 3 days of auction ending if you have not already paid to let me know your payment plans. Payment should be received within 3-5 days of auction ending AND PLEASE NO LONGER THAN 7...EMAIL ME FOR PAYMENT OPTIONS...if there is a problem let me know so I at least know what is going on...if you are bidding on multiple items then payment can always be delayed so you can save with combined shipping...I am counting on everyone to hold to your obligation of following through with payment as I will with getting you your merchandise once payment is received...Ebay is supposed to be a fun place for both the buyer and the seller..When the winning bidder does not make contact it is very discouraging. I will have no choice but to contact ebay about non paying bidders and will leave appropriate feedback for the good of the ebay community.

Just would like to add about the new rating system that buyers can use along with the regular feedback to rate sellers...I will appreciate only the highest ratings because that is the service I try to provide for you...I have already seen a few people who have dinged me for item as described...I show more pictures than most and try to go into great detail when I can or know more detail...dinged for communication and I confirm every shipment...dinged for shipping time and I ship asap and many times same day...not sure if I am getting dinged because I offer a slower service to save the buyer money in shipping...dinged some on shipping and handling costs...costs are only going to go up with usps rate increases next week and I will continue to keep costs in line the best I can...I never make money on shipping but do occassionally have to include a very small charge to help with packing materials...all costs are shown upfront so if you are not pleased with the costs please do not bid...I am guessing the minimal dinging I am seeing is coming from someone who is not happy with anything or think shipping should be free...any buyer who has never been involved with the shipping of an item would have no shipping...and sometimes even at an extra cost to myself...All of my loyal and repeat customers along with my feedback tells the story...this new rating system is too easily abused and for no reason...will be waiting for the new rating system which allows sellers to rate buyers...most would get a 5 star rating...please remember that when trying to rate our transaction.idea...if you want faster shipping then please request Priority Mail at a higher cost as I have no problem upgrading for you...if actual costs are too out of line I have refunded shipping...have upgraded.
