Our items are from a non-smoking household.
We are not experts but try to describe the items to the best of our ability. We try to identify the items carefully but we may have missed something that is important to you.  International shipments, please see shipping information below. 

If you have any questions regarding our auctions, please ask before the bid is placed and allow time for a response. Please send us email if you have any questions or need more photos. We try to answer within 48 hours any emails with questions which we receive – if you do not hear, that means there most likely is a problem with the mailer. We didn’t receive your email or your filters might be blocking our email to you.

SHIPPING: We always ship on Saturdays by USPS, and usually we make more frequent shipments if there is a lot to ship. For example, pay by 6:00 p.m. Friday to ship on Saturday. During peak times or to honor special requests, we will make additional shipments. We ship auctions internationally usually by First Class International or Priority International mail.  Winning bidder pays shipping (includes USA delivery confirmation) and handling/packaging costs. The cost of shipping and handling is in the shipping total estimate if you use the calculator button below on this auction page. We will combine shipping for items won within 7 days of each other when possible if you let us know in advance. (We charge a small handling fee as stated in each item’s auction, but shipping costs for multiple wins can generally be combined for reduced shipping costs). Handling helps cover some of our costs associated with auction postings, supplies, and time. (Yes, eBay charges us to post auctions, AND Paypal does charge a fee for each transaction--minimal estimate they charge us for most auctions totals over $2.00). First class shipping & handling costs usually run just under $4.00 (depending on the weight and zip code), and additional wins add $1.00 to the total when a single payment is made for all purchases. We are not responsible for damaged or lost items once shipped. We pride ourselves with our packing as we want your win to reach you safely.  We generally use the most economical shipping method. (Usually Parcel Post or First Class saves you money. If you want Priority Mail, please let us know, and we will adjust the shipping accordingly.) HOWEVER, please note, if item is FRAGILE or a discontinued collectible, or if time is critical, OR in the case of some doll outfits with structured HATS, we will ship by PRIORITY MAIL.  Doll clothes with lots or ruffles or with lining often will weigh a little more than the "average" dress, and if items are shipped in boxes, it too will add a few ounces to the total weight.  We try to identify in the auction if an item will be shipped in a box.

INSURANCE: We are careful packers but that doesn’t prevent losses; therefore, we always recommend insurance, ($1.65 up to $50.00 value). Insurance is NOT available for international shipment by first class mail; insurance IS available for Priority Mail international only - as per USPS regulations.

PAYMENT: Winning bidder is expected to contact us within 3 days of auction close regarding choice of payment method. Payment is expected within 7 days of the end of auction. U.S. Money Order is preferred but PayPal is acceptable also (eCheck, PayPal existing funds or bank transfer, etc). We accept credit card payments through Paypal. We will also accept U.S. personal checks but item is held 10 business days until check clears. Please be aware that this will cause a shipping delay as a result. and might create a problem for you if you need an item quickly. Buyers are responsible for any charges.
International payment must by by Paypal only.

WINNER will be notified of total including shipping costs after the auction. If you do not hear, that means there is a problem with the mailer so we ask you to contact us.

PLEASE, if you bid and win, intend on paying or we will have little choice but to leave negative feedback although we try very hard not to. We love to give and receive positive feedback. We think most people are sincere but occasionally things happen which may create a problem -- communication is the key to a successful experience. All sales are final.
