Our return policy should be read in light of our commitment to providing a description of the items offered for sale based on our best effort (after many years of experience dealing in, trading, and being a licensed appraiser of such merchandise), to accurately describe what is being offered for sale.  For instance, our use of the word antique complies with the U.S. government s definition of the term and constitutes our warranty that the item is at least 100 years old.   Other items that reflect bygone days, but are not yet antique, are commonly referred to as vintage.    Further, you should know that reference to certain time periods can be guides to the buyer, such as Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Victorian, Ming, Ch ing, Sung, or Meiji.  Items carrying such descriptions reflect the seller s judgment and experience and, accordingly, pricing.   It is also important to note that there is a significant distinction between something being of a certain period, versus being made in the style of the period.   Unscrupulous competitors may confuse the two; we do not.  

If you can articulate why our description is in error, we will accept return of your purchase as stated in our "Terms" so long as we hear from you in advance and you absorb the cost of insured shipping.   That means, as e-Bay policy clearly states, buyer s remorse is no reason for a return, nor is changing your mind for other reasons; you have to tell us what we said or showed that was not true.

Because we want you to get what you expect from a respected seller, we strongly urge you to make inquiry -- to seek clarification if you have any concerns before you bid on an item.   Please be mindful that unless an item is listed as new, it should be considered pre-owned and used to the extent of normal wear and tear.  For a more detailed report on a used item s condition, please correspond with us.  Doubts should be resolved in advance and we can only do that if you contact us about your concerns before bidding.   If you don t do that, be prepared to tell us exactly how we misrepresented an item or consider the sale to be final.   We can only ensure full satisfaction if you do your part.

Lastly, we adhere to e-Bay s buyer satisfaction policies and to federal and state laws.  Venue for resolution of any legal dispute is Palm Beach County, Florida.
