Schacht Matchless Spinning Wheel Bobbin

I've been thinking about selling my extra spinning wheel bobbins. For auction is one Schacht Matchless spinning wheel bobbin. I think it is new, but I'm not listing it as new because I'm not sure which ones have been used or not. I probably have only used two or three of the newer ones and this one is an extra. I need to de-stash spinning equipment so here goes.   They are the most beautiful wood and better made than perhaps everything I have seen except the Roberta bobbins. Nicer than Ashford or Louet bobbins. Real wood, not laminate.  

This is an authentic Schacht bobbin, made by Schacht Spindle in Colorado.

It takes us about 5 business days to ship, so please only bid if that is okay with you. We usually do postal mail only once a week, mostly on Fridays.

Payment

Paypal only. Confirmed paypal address only. 48 states. Hawaii & Alaska often cost more, so ask before you bid. No FPO/APO/MIL, Territories or Protectorates. USPS has different delivery confirmation for these. We only mail to your paypal confirmed address. No exceptions. Payment is due within 3 (THREE) days of auction close, unless you have made arrangements BEFORE bidding or buy-it-now.

Shipping

We ship about a week after we receive payment, but only go to the post office once a week.. This is our word and should be FIVE STAR okay. If you need a quicker shipping time, please ask before bidding. We believe five star feedback should be based on us keeping our word. Shipping can be as late as 9 or 10 days after you pay, but this is not our average. Sometimes we ship more quickly than we state. We want to set your expectations so you are okay with it taking a bit.  If this is not okay, please do not bid. 

We try to ship sooner if we can, but make one trip to the post office every week or two (every week we have items to ship).  If you need something sooner, wait for an answer before expecting that just asking will make it okay. We do try to please, but again, we want you to have realistic expectations.  A trip to the post office is usually a 50 minute to 1.5 hour affair considering parking and lines.   We ship only to your confirmed PAYPAL address. No exceptions.  

Our primary mode of shipping is USPS flat rate priority. We often will average priority prices as we are not always able to get the flat rate boxes, and sometimes it costs MORE to ship flat rate... or depending upon the distance, sometimes less. It's very time consuming to wait until after the sale, put your item in one box, weigh it, go to the USPS site, calculate everything, then put it in the other box, weigh it..etc. We do our best guess at costs, but ask you to be okay with a few dollars plus or minus. We try to price stuff low enough on starting bid. So take a look at all the costs, and don't ding us because we have not guessed the printed shipping cost to the exact cent. There are a lot of other expenses people don't see like boxes we have to buy sometimes and bubble wrap and tape and more. Please only bid if everything seems okay to you. There are a lot of eBayers charging you two and three time what it costs them to ship, and just because you don't 'see' the money printed on the label, people are happy with that but then get upset because of a $1 more that they see. Please give us a break. Again you are the one who is at choice to bid or not.  Sometimes we do ship parcel post due to size of box, what we have available or rate. We've paid too many excess shipping fees lately and are just trying to be fair all around over time.

If we state ground services or UPS as an option, you should also have a street address that is confirmed. Paypal will let you add more than one confirmed address, but it must be done before bidding.

Terms of Sale

Items sold as no returns.  Email before you bid or buy so we can respond to your questions. If we've really messed something up -- and if it is really on our end, not just a little error but a big one -- contact us and we'll be reasonable about making it right. p.s. please calm down and get to a 'safe' and 'happy' place before taking our heads off. We are much more cooperative when people assume the best and just assume honest mistakes, and act all friendly and neighborly like. We only ship to continental USA, no protectorates or territories. Your paypal address must be your confirmed address. You need to have a feedback rating of 98% or more over 10+ viewable recent feedbacks. Please do not bid if you hide feedback.

About US

We're a bunch of folks who have stuff we need to sell. Much of it was purchased, used once or twice (or is new) and has just been taking up space or storage. We've had to downsize, so many nice things go up on eBay in spurts as we try to pay our bills. You'll notice a mixture of sports, clothing, hobies, musical items and more, and if we have time we list books. Most brand new and in storage or barely used more than a couple of times, usually sold well below what we paid for them and lightly pre-owned if worn at all. Check back as items are listed when we have time to do so.
