Payment to be made within 7 days of the end of the auction.  I prefer payment via PayPal but will also accept cashiers checks, money orders or personal checks.  [Note: Items paid by personal check will not ship until the check clears the bank.]

Vintage or antique items are purchased "AS IS". Please note all sales are final unless otherwise indicated in the listing.  If the listing specifies a money back refund, item must be returned within 7 days where a full refund will be issued for the cost of the item only.  There are no refunds on any shipping charges.

Please read through the item description carefully for details about the item with regards to its age, origin, condition, etc. Should you have any questions about the item, please contact me first before placing a bid or making an offer.  All questions are welcome!

Note: serious bidders only!  If you don't intend to pay, DO NOT BID! It is not fair to those buyers in the ebay community who are serious about wanting to purchase/bid on an item.  

Shipping Terms:

I'm a fast shipper!  I ship 6 days a week and the item will leave my home either the same day of payment clearing (depending on time of day), or the very next business day of payment clearing!

I will also be happy to combine shipping costs for multiple auctions to save you money by holding items for you while you bid so that you can accumulate items into a single shipment or fewer shipments. Simply contact me!

I ship all items via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 day delivery) or USPS Parcel Post (2-9 day delivery).  Please note: these are the US Postal Service estimated delivery timeframes. I use only premium packing materials and take great care in packing all my items especially fragile items!  

There is NO mark-up on the shipping charges and I do not charge a handling fee for domestic orders.  The weight entered in placing this listing is the actual packaged weight of the item.  Any overpayment of shipping fees which may occur as a result of combined shipping or listing error on my part, will be promptly refunded to the winning bidder when the item is shipped.  

Please use the shipping calculator to determine rates to your zip code or country.  The calculator is located at both the top and the bottom of this page. If you have a problem, feel free to contact me to confirm the shipping charges for your zip code or country.

Shipping Insurance:

Insurance is optional and is recommended for fragile or highly collectible items as Buyer assumes responsibility for packages which may be lost or "damaged in transit" by the Postal Service.  In those rare instances where shipping damage or loss may occur, I will always assist the Buyer in any way I can with the USPS insurance process for reimbursement for insured items.

International Buyers Are Welcome!

Payment & Shipping:

Please...payment via PayPal ONLY! 
Any auctions opened outside the USA will be shipped USPS First Class or Priority Mail International [or whichever is the least expensive USPS International shipping method available based on the weight of the item.]

You Can Bid With Confidence!!!!!

I'm proud of my feedback score and take pride in all the items I sell on ebay.  I try to the best of my ability to describe the item as accurately as possible with regards to its age, origin and condition.  If however, for whatever reason, you are not completely satisfied with the item after receiving it, please email me immediately as I would very much appreciate the opportunity to rectify any concerns opposed to receiving complaints via the feedback process because bottom line YOU are the customer and customer satisfaction is my ultimate goal!

Please note I will leave you feedback only after I've received feeback from you.  This helps me know the transaction is complete, i.e., the package arrived "safe and sound" and that you are happy with the purchase!
