Please view photos closely and item specifics above because they best describe this ebay item and it's condition. This is a Billing Boats African Queen Model Boat. It is unbuilt and all parts, plans and manual appear to be present, however please notice the last picture because the plastic hull (Note: I am not familiar with this model so I do not know if this is used as a form to build the wooden boat, or if it actually is used as the basis for the actual boat itself) has a crack and a torn corner, please view pictures closely to determine if this is a factor to you or not. Also, notice that there are two small long pieces of wood that have been broken, again please view pictures and you determine how big of factor this is to you. This particular model was made famous by the movie "African Queen" with Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn during the 1960's.  The movie was based on this river boat during World War I on Lake Victoria in Africa. This particular model was made in 1990's, I beleive. The box is in pretty good shape with mainly a little dust on it, and a couple of small tears on a coulpe of corners. If you have more questions about this item please ask. This item is from a smoke free home.

EBAY'S NEW SHIPPING RULE:

Ebay states: "Starting the week of September 22, 2009, optional or required buyer-selected shipping insurance will no longer be allowed on eBay."

Because of this new rule pnmtoys has had to make some shipping decisions.

SO....

U.S. Buyers

For items pnmtoys believes will sell for

Under $50

In an effort to keep shipping cost down, and at a reasonable price to my customers you have two shipping choices:

***1st Shipping Choice***

Ship with USPS

(Priority, Parcel, or 1st Class may be offered)

 Benefit: Cheapest

Drawback: Uninsured

Includes: Delivery Confirmation

***2nd Shipping Choice***

Ship with UPS Ground

Benefit: Insured

Drawback: Typically more expensive

Includes: Tracking

Since the majority of my customers typically choose to send there $50 and under items uninsured I have made USPS as the first choice for shipping. If you want your item sent INSURED and it is $50 and under in value, THEN YOU MUST SHIP UPS.

PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE YOU PAY FOR YOUR ITEM IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT SHIPPED UPS.

U.S. Buyers

Pnmtoys has charged you a nominal "Handling Fee" of $2.25. This "Handling Fee" will be used to pay for insurance of this item regardless if it sells for $50 or $500 your item will be 100% insured.
