D. "CUSTOM DECLARATION VALUE" will be the end value
of the item in Japanese yen at time of payment, based on the current US Dollar
- Japanese Yen exchange rate, as the package is being sent from Japan (the insured price must equal declared price). "Buyer"
is responsible for your country's duties, taxes, VAT, tariffs and 3rd
party EMS delivery services if applicable. Be aware that some countries,
especially in Europe, can add a Duty of 20% or more. Please consult
your country's import regulation and duty costs prior to bidding or purchase.

be accepted. Buyers making such offers are subjected to
being blocked from any of my future auctions or selling groups.
G. NO REQUEST TO CANCEL TRANSACTION: Due to the Ebay Policy that any Request to Cancel the Transaction is considered a "Defect"
by the seller (even if the Buyer requests cancellation), I will no

item, I will go through the Non-Paying Bidder Report and report as a
non-paying bidder.

buyer under these circumstances. Additionally, any return to sender
postal service fees, is the buyer's responsibility and will be assessed
from the item cost.

SECTION "B" - DESCRIPTION
1.
DESCRIPTION: 1/72 Century Wings F-14A VF-41 Black Aces 1978 USS Nimitz Tomcat diecast model by Century Wings (10th Anniversary Edition). The model was purchased new from the Japanese retailer during original release.
Consignor: Horikawa
I am currently in Japan and selling items for consignment from Japanese
hobbyists. I have the item in my residence and "I" will
personally pack and take your package to the Japanese post office, not
the consignor.
Side Note: As explained in detail to me by the Manufacturer's Top Gun Store Manager in Japan:
As Top Gun, Hokusai, HHow, Flying Mule often rotates store stock among
themselves depending on supply and demand of the regional market after
release.
Manufacturer (Century Wings - Top Gun) employs various initial and
final production factories overseas, so the model packaging (as a
whole), packaging style (internal packing components) and appearance may
vary depending on the production run and particular factories being
utilized during the particular model's production run and final
assembly/packaging. Some components of the model, for example, the fuselage and
wings may utilize one factory, while the weapons pack and landing gear
assembly may utilize another factory prior to be sent off to another
factory for final packaging, hence appearance may vary.
During shipping, parts may come loose, if so, please reattach with super-glue should this happen.
