A reserve price is the minimum price the seller will accept. This price is hidden from bidders. To win, a bidder must have the highest bid and have met or exceeded the reserve price.
This Auction is for a Vintage Mr. Peanuts Peanut Butter Maker from Planters Peanuts. This comes in its Original Box, contains all the Original parts & has the Original Recipe Book. The Box is not in Mint Condition & it’s possible that this has been used, but if it has its been used, its been spic & span clean. This stands approx 12 inches Tall & is approx 8 inches Wide. This would be a nice addition for any collector.
Please be aware that there is a small handling fee of $4.50 included in the shipping amount to cover the cost of purchasing shipping insurance and to purchase packing supplies to TRY to insure the safe delivery of your item. Because I am a small seller, I am unable to purchase these supplies at wholesale prices & they are expensive. Most of what I sell is breakable, so its not as easy as plopping the item in a free box from the Post Office. Also because of this I feel that insurance is mandatory. If you feel that it is unreasonable to pay this, please Do Not Bid.
FYI, the USPS continues to significantly raise their rates. Their rates now not only depend on the size of the package, but also the weight & zone distance from where I live. The biggest variables in shipping rates are the new DIM (dimensional) rates that all of the carriers have adopted. This can turn a lightweight but large item into a featherweight big package with a big surcharge equal to the postage on a 40 pound package. Keeping this in mind, I make every attempt to keep Shipping & Handling Fees Reasonable. I usually ship twice a week (after receiving payment). If you have special needs, please let me know & I will try to accommodate. Shipping fees are non-refundable as they are paid to the USPS.
I ALWAYS combine shipping for multiple purchases (if purchased within 24 hours of each other) to save the purchaser money. Because I don't prepackage my items before the end of the auction (sometimes there are questions) I won't know exactly how much shipping will cost for combined items because the shipping calculator automatically applies the discounted shipping amount based on the combined weight of the items. This doesn't occur until after the auction closes & the invoice is created by the system. The shipping calculator automatically calculates the rate based on the weight, plus the $4.50 Handling fee.
For International customers, please understand that I will only ship either Express Mail International or Priority Mail International. Only these 2 services allow door-to-door tracking. Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyers responsibility. Please check with your countrys customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
Please Note* As of March 1, 2008 I will no longer offer Parcel Post as a shipping option for my auctions. Because Ebay has instituted such stringent guidelines for DSR's (Detailed Sellers Ratings) for sellers in feedback & I have no control over the fact that the USPS takes so long in delivering this type of shipping service, I really don't want to subject myself to receiving poor DSR Ratings (less than 5) because of the inefficiency of the USPS as well as the fact that it seems that the longer the USPS has a package the more opportunities they have to break the items that are inside.
Bidding is a binding contract to buy. I DO NOT accept returns for buyers remorse. Due to the increase in non-paying bidders, if I do not receive payment in 7 days, then I will file an Unpaid Item Reminder with EBay. After 14 days an Unpaid Item Dispute will be filed with EBay. If you receive 3 Unpaid item disputes, Ebay will suspend your account.
Please let me know if you have problems getting payment out, I am always willing to work something out, but please don't leave me to think you are not going to pay. If it ends up late, & you don't tell me, I can only assume you are a non-paying bidder.
Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have before bidding. Winning bidders must make contact within 3 days of end of auction. PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE END OF THE AUCTION unless other arrangements are made with me.
I have an Excellent Sellers record with Ebay & have no plans of destroying the reputation I have built up so BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
Please know that it is not my intention to mislead any buyer.It is not possible to be an expert on every item I list with the variety I sell. If I attach a brand or company to any item this was done through research. There are times that I am wrong. If you know this to be true, I would greatly appreciate any information you could share. Life is a learning process and I am open to acquiring knowledge from anyone willing to share. Unless otherwise stated, all items in my auctions are either vintage or used, which means they have a history and are probably not 100% perfect. I do try my best to be accurate and honest in my descriptions, but being human it is possible I can miss something that is important to you. I do realize that opinions on the condition of an item can vary depending on the person who is looking at it so I am depending on you to ask specific questions if I don't give enough detail or to correct me if I get something wrong. Measurements, sizes & weights are approximate. If you are uncertain, or unable to fulfill the transaction, PLEASE DO NOT BID.
Returns will only be accepted for gross misrepresentations. I DO NOT accept returns for buyers remorse. Since I include insurance from the USPS for ALL breakable items, a request for a refund of something that arrives broken must be made with the USPS. If you need a copy of the paid receipt, please let me know & I will be happy to fax or mail you a copy.
The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.
TERMS: Winning bidders must make contact within 3 days of end of the auction and PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE END OF AUCTION unless other arrangements are made with me.
NOTE* I ship twice a week after payment is received.
