Condition
*Mint out of the packaging - as in, straight from the factory packaging. Therefore, any perceived imperfections are from the manufacturer. By buying this model you are agreeing to accept this condition. Also, while my images are the better part of the description, they do not always capture 100% of the model. In my personal opinion this model is in excellent condition and displays very well. However, please use your own judgment when determining overall cosmetic condition and please feel to message me with any question and / or concerns prior to buying as I am not responsible for minor imperfections from the manufacturing process.
Why buy loose? Since acquisition I have stored / displayed this and other models individually in a plastic case where it has not been pressed under the weight of other models in a closet and have already gone through the process of opening these to reveal the "in-facing" side and tossing any dysfunctional "errors" or any other major cosmetic "errors".
Shipping and Payment - General
(Domestic)
~See my current rates below~
Prompt and timely payment is much appreciated - Paypal ONLY - Serious Bidders / Buyers please.
As always I will gladly invoice for combined shipping on any combination of items upon request.
Important!
I do NOT refund shipping overpayment if a buyer pays or checks out without communication PRIOR to bidding or buying as I get a charge every time I do this from Paypal!
~For some buyers my automated shipping rule may NOT be automatic for unknown reasons. Without communication BEFORE payment, actual shipping rates that are reflected in your cart at the time of purchase or checkout will apply.~
Please message me with any issues BEFORE paying if you want me to send a new invoice! If not, you will be charged the full amount shown at the time of purchase.
To obtain a new invoice, simply "buy it now", "commit to buy", or "add to the cart" any items that you may wish to purchase and then select the option for "request total from seller" directly from your cart. If this does not work, try requesting from your "purchased" screen.
Having issues?
In one of eBay's combined shipping forums I saw this;
Buyers need to be shopping on the "ebay.com" assigned to thier own country in order for their cart to function properly.
1) Copy down the item number(s) from any ebay.com site in the world.
2) Make sure to then log-in on your country's proper eBay site.
3) Type the item number into the "search bar" and click enter.
4) Once the item appears, click on "Buy It Now" and do this for each item.
But don't pay yet!
5) When done, go to your "Purchase History" and click on "Request Total".
I hope that helps!
~Large and heavy items will ship for actual cost by weight from my zip code to yours via a shipping provider of your choosing.~

Shipping and Payment

This seller adds an additional $10.00 USD for packing and handling!!!
I will gladly invoice for combined shipping on multiple items upon request.
Shipping cost is assigned via the USPS's First Class International shipping service for the first 4 pounds, and any purchase equal to or over 4 pounds 1 ounce will ship via the USPS's Priority Mail International service and is subject to a rate change.
Each model weights approximately 1.2 - 2.7 ounces depending on whether or not they are full die-cast or partly plastic and the average weight for a box is approximately 3 US ounces. The "Cool Classics" and the "Classics" are the ones I have for sale that weigh the most (about 2.2 - 2.6 ounces each). Regular models are 1.2 - 1.7 ounces each.
For most International orders;
$22.25 + $10.00 USD will cover any order from 1 ounce - 2 US pounds even (approx. 1 - 20 models),
$35.00 + $10.00 USD will cover any order weighing up to 3 pounds 15 ounces (approx. 20 - 30 models).
This is only an estimate! I will not know for 100% until I have verified your county's location and determined actual shipping rates.
I will gladly estimate for combined shipping rates on multiple items upon request.
Rest assured, I will be sure to give you the lowest prices based on total weight to be shipped.
Please "buy it now", "commit to buy", or "add to the cart" any items that you may wish to purchase and then select the option for "request total from seller" directly from your cart I can then adjust the invoice to reflect the proper shipping for the order.

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

*Mint condition is an expression used in the description of preowned goods. Originally, the phrase related to the way collectors described the condition of coins. As the name given to a coin factory is a "mint", then mint condition is the condition a coin is in when it leaves the mint. - Wikipedia
**I have been selling these little cars on-line for some years now and have found that the only way to make selling individual models here on eBay worth it is to charge an additional fee for each car. My first year selling I was brutally honest and strict with pricing and shipping rates and never charge handling fee and I darn near had to PAY for selling. After all, selling an item for a couple dollars or less only to have eBay charge me 10% off the top (yes, up to and including any shipping as well) and then yet another service fee from Paypal for processing the transaction... I'm sure you get the gist... As it turns out, nothing is "cheap" any more.
