PLEASE NOTE NEW RETURNS/REFUND/SHIPPING POLICY, eff. 2/08:
ALL SALES ARE "AS IS". Returns are considered on a case by case basis within 14 days of auction end. Buyer must receive ADVANCE AUTHORIZATION to return item--we WILL NOT issue refunds for items returned to us without prior authorization. Refunds will be made ONLY IF ITEM IS RETURNED TO US IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION IT WAS SENT OUT, and ONLY IF OUR COMPANY AGREES THAT THE ITEM HAS BEEN GROSSLY MISREPRESENTED IN THE AUCTION LISTING. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL RETURN SHIPPING COSTS.
INSURANCE IS OPTIONAL, and IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY UNINSURED ITEMS. If buyer has paid for insurance and the item breaks in transit, THE COMPANY WILL SEND BUYER THE INSURANCE RECEIPT and it will be the BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE A CLAIM.
YES THERE IS A REASONABLE HANDLING FEE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE AUCTION SHIPPING CHARGE, and we are NOT ashamed to admit it! THIS IS A BUSINESS, NOT A HOBBY-- We have OVERHEAD COSTS such as gasoline, bubble wrap, paper, print cartridges, tape, batteries, computer maintenance, electricity, etc etc... not to mention our time... that we must try to at least partially recover if we are to stay in business. If you are unhappy with the shipping charge, or any aspect of our policies and procedures, WE WOULD PREFER THAT YOU DO NOT BID. Thanks.
