Unless noted otherwise, our items are pre-owned and will have visual and physical cues typical of an item that has been handled and used. Please bid with the expectation that this is a final sale.

We do not sell "on approval" and will accept returns only when an item has been unintentionally misrepresented due to omissions or errors in the description. We are not professional appraisers, but work hard to identify all issues that we believe you would look for if you could see the item in person. If you have doubts or need more information, then e-mail us BEFORE you bid, because your bid is a commitment to purchase.

We welcome international bidding on almost all of our items. We DO NOT mark international items as "gifts", and your purchase will be shipped with full value declaration on the customs form, marked as "merchandise". Please do not ask or expect us to do otherwise. We are not responsible for any customs fees or duties that are added on ... the amount we collect from you for shipping covers packing and mailing only. Transit times, and the time a parcel is held in your country's customs office, is out of our control.

We insure through a 3rd-party and therefore can insure even first class international packages: items over $50 shipping internationally must be insured. The insurance rate is $2.00 per every $100 of value.

eBay has decided to go "paperless", meaning that it will only include electronic payments such as PayPal or credit cards in its checkout system.

• PayPal: we ship to the registered PayPal address only. We cut and paste the PayPal address onto the shipping label.
  

  PayPal eBay's service to make fast, easy, and secure payments for your eBay purchases!

  You may also pay us directly with Visa, MasterCard, and Discover   International payments: PayPal only. Illinois Residents will need to include 7.75% sales tax (sorry), unless a valid resale number is provided.

  
  
  

  SHIPPING TERMS

  Back to Top

  Please use the shipping calculator to see what shipping will be to your address.Our shipping charge and method is not negotiable; your bid tells us you accept our shipping terms as stated. Our goal is to ship as quickly as we can once payment is received and cleared, usually within 5 business days. It is possible, depending on our schedule, that we will only be able to ship one day in a given week, so if you need to receive your item by a certain date, then please e-mail before bidding to make sure we can meet your needs. We're as anxious to ship your item as you are to receive it, but scheduling demands with our estate business sometimes causes shipping delays. Remember that many items are heavy and/or large. The price of the merchandise does not affect the cost of shipping!

  THE BOTTOM LINE

  Back to Top

  eBay is a great place to shop. There are rules about bidding, and if you aren't familiar with them, please learn them before entering into a purchase contract. We will issue a "non-paying bidder alert" when there has been a significant period of time between end of auction and lack of payment. Communication is the key to a great transaction! If you run into problems or unforeseen circumstances, simply e-mail us and we'll gladly find a way to work with you: honesty goes a long way with us. Thanks for looking, and have a GREAT eBay Day!
