Unless prior arrangements have been made before auction closes, payment is kindly requested with 7 days of auction ending. Payment can be made by check (may take longer), Money Order or Cashier's Check and of course Paypal my preferred method. I do not sell or ship on approval, please ask all questions before bidding to ensure a positive transaction.

After an item gets a bid I pack it.

If after a reasonable amount of time has passed and no bids, I often end the auction for lack of interest. So place your bid or it might go away.

I only relist an item if eBay offers a reduced listing price day that they offer on occasion.

I also reserve the right to cancel all bids and end the auction early-and/or relist if eBay is having any technical difficulties within the last 24 hours of auctions end.

Please use e-bay's Checkout services after you are invoiced so I know you have received the invoice and so I know your method of payment.

In the event that your shipping address is different than your contact information provided on the details page by ebay YOU MUST EMAIL ME and let me know or your item will be shipped to the contact address.

If you are going to be later than my seven day policy, you must let me know.

I realize that sometimes real life outside of eBay has a tendency to get in the way so I am only an email away. Don't ignore the issue.

If it can fit safely in a priority box that is how it will be shipped. If it is books, they ship media mail. If you prefer parcel post for a cheaper method of shipping, I will comply with that request. If it is in a large or irregular box, it ships FED EX ground and my shipping days for FED EX are Tuesdays one day only due to the high cost of gas.

Post Office packages go out daily and are picked up by my Postman after 2:00 that day.

codI only estimate the amount of shipping by going by the weight of the object and adding a pound. I am usually right on but it may vary so wait for the invoice and figure that calculated price is not written in stone. If you need a more accurate, send your zip code.

Insurance is not optional. I take great care in packing, however, the shippers do not. Best to be safe than sorry.

I do not charge handling fees ever, however, if a special size box is needed and I have to purchase that box or envelope that cost is passed on to the buyer. I try to keep that minimal and only in an emergency for a large box that I am unable to find on my own.

All of my items are vintage, collectible, antique or old. That means they are pre-used and pre-owned and while some items are mint in appearance they are still vintage and not new so they may have age associated normal use wear.

I take the time to take good pictures and do the best I can to describe, however, I am not perfect and make occasional mistakes. I do not feel threatened if I am corrected. Email welcome.

Everything I sell leaves my home clean and ready to use unless specified in my description that it needs paint or refinish.

We live in a non-smoking home so there will be no funky odors, however, if you have any allergies, I do have a chihuahua who is long haired and produces dander. If this is a problem and you are allergic in any way do not bid.

And last but not least, I do not accept returns unless I have grossly misrepresented the item presented for auction.

Please peruse my "about me" page for all these terms and more.

Thank you for reading/understanding and complying with my terms.

Questions are welcome and will be answered as received. Please turn off all spam blockers or anything that would prevent an invoice or email from getting to you AND please use checkout with your method of payment so I know you have received and acknowledged the invoice and your win. NOTE: IN THE EVENT YOU CHOOSE NOT TO HONOR YOUR BID, PLEASE BE ADVISED....I DO ALWAYS LEAVE THE APPROPRIATE FEEDBACK. I also reserve the right to cancel an auction if the buyer has way too many negative feedbacks. In the event I don't catch this and the auction has already ended....I will still exercise that right. Thanks for looking and reading my auctions.
