ALL BIDS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED! We enjoy and look forward to doing business with all our buyers!

~ Most items we sell are vintage, obtained from a variety of sources. They've been worn, used and loved. We have no way of knowing the environment they've come from: smoke, animals or scents for instance.

~ We're not antique experts, but we try to always offer clear pictures, detailed descriptions, and careful, quality packaging.

~ Conditions will be noted in listings. Generally most items can be plugged in or wired in place & operate just fine with the current wiring , cord , socket , etc. Any element of operational function not in working order will be noted. While more often than not, they are safe to use , it is always recommended that you have them checked by qualified electrical technicians prior to using & have rewired if deemed necessary. We will not be held responsible to any electrical hazards or damage.

~ As a serious collector, you may have a specific idea about what you're looking for. Please study the pictures closely and ask questions early. We can't guarantee we'll be able to respond during the final hours of an auction.

~ What you see is what you're bidding on.

INSURANCE: (further shipping information below)

~ Ebay no longer includes an option to the buyer for insurance. Insurance will depend upon final price and your invoice will need to be adjusted. If you would like insurance added we will adjust the invoice~this will add to your final cost. The cost $1.95 is for the insurance up to $50. Over $50.00 to $100.00 is $2.45--Please wait until we invoice you before paying as we need to adjust the insurance costs which is based on sale price. Contact us immediately so we can adjust your invoice if you would like insurance.

FEEDBACK: We leave great feedback when your item(s) goes into the mail!

IMPORTANT: Our feedback rating is every bit as important to us as yours is to you. But, few buyers realize that eBay penalizes sellers for anything less than 5 DSR stars. Please mark nothing under 5 unless a seller has truly mistreated you. Even 1 point off affects negatively both a seller's reputation and his opportunities for advancing his eBay business. If you received a satisfactory item on time, or if your seller resolved a problem with you, please give that good seller all 5s. Help keep good, committed people selling on Ebay.

RETURN POLICY: Items are sold AS IS, unless misrepresented!

Vintage items are rarely 100% perfect, so please read the item description and look at the photos carefully before you bid. Refunds will not be given for imperfections that are noted in the auction listing.

Please take into consideration that refunds will also not be given due to odors, as they are often outside of our control.  Vintage items have a history all their own which sometimes includes an odd smell (smoke, dust, mustiness, etc.).

We will accept returns on items that arrive with flaws or issues that were not covered in the item listing, if we are contacted within one week of the buyer receiving the item. We will refund the final price upon return of the item to us in the condition that it was received.

You must contact us prior to returning any item. Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Unless an item is misrepresented, only the purchase price without the original shipping paid will be refunded. Buyer must pay all shipping & handling to return item. Item must be in original box with all packaging and paperwork complete.

We are happy to work with you. If something is wrong, just let us know. We have HAPPY CUSTOMERS (please see our feedback).
