The Necessary Disclaimer:
We are
downsizing wonderful collectibles, most of which are vintage/antique. Some of these items were purchased in used
condition from German/European flea markets and some items are from our
personal collecting.
We will
not purposely misrepresent the items, but we are human, with middle-age
eyesight, and may not capture all the potential issues in the description. Since most of the items are not new, please
email any specific questions you may have about the item and/or its condition
before bidding. We are a non-smoking
household, but we cannot guarantee all items have been that way 100% of the time.
The listed
shipping costs are estimated. Buyer to
pay actual shipping expenses which are best determined at the end of the
auction when it is known where the item will be shipped to and the weight and
size of the packing material required.
So, if you wait for the invoice, the shipping expenses may actually be
less than the estimate. We will not
charge more than the estimated shipping costs, unless there is special
requirements requested from the buyer, even if we under-estimate the postage.
Please
feel free to double check our shipping costs against the official US Post
Office website rates and let us know if you see a significant difference before
you leave less than positive feedback regarding shipping fees. (Also, keep in mind that both eBay and PayPal
charge sellers additional fees/commissions against the shipping costs along
with their billing for the actual auction item.)
We
participate in the eBay Global international shipping program, but please understand
we do not have any control over the costs beyond the actual item price and the
initial postage to get the package to the distribution center. It can get expensive to get the winning item
to the final destination once the import fees and international postage costs
are added.
Buyer is expected to pay for their winning bid within three (3) days of the end of the auction unless alternate arrangements are communicated prior to closing.
