PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BROWSE MY STORE LISTINGS. I DO
COMBINE SHIP. PLEASE READ ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW PRIOR TO
PURCHASE OR MAKING AN OFFER:
The Condition Guide which I use to describe most vintage items:
Mint
in Box: Nothing wrong with the item, never been used, and in original box.
Mint: Nothing wrong with the item and never been used.
Excellent: Very little wrong with the item if anything at all, no visible
problems, excellent used condition.
Very Good: Very little wrong with the item, in very good condition, maybe a
little dusty or has a minor problem.
Good: Item has been loved, a little messy, possibly dusty but still good for
any collection.
OK: Item has been used, washed, scratched, broken or marks/spots which I will
do my best to identify.
Best Offer... Although
one major retailer has the world convinced that “free” shipping is literally
free, it is not. Someone always pays and
often times it is quite expensive. My
prices which include “free” shipping in most cases, have shipping costs factored
in to the purchase price. Before making
an unreasonable offer and wasting everyone’s time, please consider where you
are located and whether or not your offer will even cover the shipping. Most of my items are priced at the most
reasonable price which I can ship to CA, OR, AZ, WA, and TX and still make a
profit. I base my prices off of what I
have into any given item, Ebay and Paypal fees, most recent sold listings, the
rarity of an item and shipping costs. If
you live closer and the shipping will be less, then I will factor that into my
best offer decisions.
Shipping… I ship
most items same day to 1 day after payment is received. I ship small items in
envelopes for two reasons. 1. It saves you money and 2. It’s better for the
environment. Please recycle the envelope. Thank you. If I have to ship
something larger, it will go in a box, obviously. I use the flat rate priority
boxes when I can and that seems to work great. It automatically offers ship cover insurance
and is most often times less than parcel with the added insurance. I
insure most items for shipping and in the event that something is damaged, keep
the item and the packaging and let me know ASAP to resolve.
International Shipping… I will
ship internationally, but only using the Global Shipping Program or with
tracking of the Flat Rate Priority Box. I know this is
expensive, and although I think I run the place, USPS does not really care
about my opinions of their shipping rates. This is the ONLY option that they
give for tracking and insurance outside of the US. Also, I will NOT
falsify the customs form, so please do not even ask! Ebay automatically
fills the form now in the shipping center and I will not change it. So,
what you pay and the fact that it is “merchandise” is recorded. You may
have to pay a high customs tax- be aware.
Toy and lead paint warnings… Anything I sell is not to
be eaten. These items are
meant to be collectible items. They
have not been tested for lead paint according to my knowledge, so don’t let
children or pregnant women eat them. I
have not had any problems with this personally, but so many sellers have this
type of disclaimer that I thought it is probably a good idea to stress these
points because the government and lawyers thinks we are all morons and I don’t
need to be sued.
Customer Satisfaction... Most of the items that I sell
are vintage, used and loved- they are RARELY going to be perfect. Please
note, that even though I try my best, and consider myself a detail oriented
person, I am still human and have found myself looking at something a second or
third time and finding a problem that I had not noticed before. Also, you may consider something a problem
that I have not even considered as a defect.
So, please ask all pertinent questions prior to bidding! If you receive something and are not
satisfied, please contact me and I will do my best to resolve the issue. Also,
sometimes I have shipping mishaps. PLEASE
DON’T freak out and DON’T leave feedback BEFORE contacting me! It’s no biggie. Just contact me if something is broken
and I will resolve it. If
you are happy with your purchase, please leave positive feedback. I will always strive for 100% feedback
so please try to be reasonable and I will do my best to make you happy.
Payment…PayPal Preferred as PayPal is a confirmed
address site! If payment is not made by the Ebay payment deadlines auction will be re-listed. If
you find yourself with some delay or problem with paying, contact me. I can
usually wait, as long as I know what is going on.
Sales Tax for PA Residents... If you are a resident
of PA, you are required to pay sales tax of 6% on any eligible sales, excluding
clothing items. Please note that in accordance with the law you must be
notified that sales tax is factored in to the BIN prices and will be paid to
the State by me. The sales tax prompt below is not turned on and you will
not be charged additionally.
