Please read the "Fine Print" details below to get answers for FAQ's concerning my return policy, international shipping and payment options.

In this listing, you are considering for your collection the items that you see in the above photograph ((display items are not included :-)

Above we have a fashion set sized for Barbie and her same sized friends. This is an unlabeled Fashion Collectible or Fashion Find fromthe early 80s and this listing consists of the dress and a pair of silver clone heels. While I see no rips or loose seams to repair, the gown is filthy and will need to be laundered.  The accessories this comes with are in fine shape with no issues. This does show the typical age/play wear you would normally associate with an item this old, so please factor that into your purcahse :-).  Please be aware that these items were acquired second hand and so therefore I cannot gurantee how they were stored or displayed before they came to be in my possession. As your sensitivity to particular scents may be greater than my own, I would recommend a laundering upon arrival.  As I am not an expert on these items, please email with any specific concerns or questions you may have before bidding. Thanks for looking and please be sure to check out my other vintage doll and clothing items I have up for auction :-)

Due to these items age and/or previously owned status, I do consider this item "as is" and I do consider all of my sales as final, so please factor that into your purchasing decison and ask any questions that you may have in advance. Communication is both welcomed and encouraged!

**Please note that USPS shipping rates have increased** As of this year (2012)...Here is the link where you check the specifics, https://www.usps.com/new-prices.htm but the long story short is that the rates have gone up on every shipping service, most notably for internationalShipping costs listed above are for the lower 48, USA states only and does include a tracking number. Alaska and Hawaii residents please note an additional $4 will be required for mailings to your state so please wait for the invoice before paying.

Shippping price listed above reflects costs of supplies, delivery confirmation and actual postage.

The Fine Print:

BIDDING:

If you have fewer than (25) feedbacks on your user i.d., then please email me first before bidding on my items. I know this appears arbitrary, but it seems that the buyers with really low feedback never want to pay me, so emailing me beforehand let's me know that you are a serious buyer and do understand how EBay works. I apologize in advance, but if you fail to do this, I will cancel your bid without notification. Bidding and winning is fun (as it should be!) but it's also a contract and it should be taken seriously. I do encourage you to take advantage of combined shipping, but I will only run a "tab" for 7 days unless notified beforehand.

PAYMENT:

I accept Paypal only but I do realize there are certain circumstances when this is not always possible. If you are considering an alternate payment method, please email me before bidding so we can talk about it. I do expect payment within 3 days of winning an auction unless I have been contacted beforehand or in cases where you are interested in multiple listings. If payment or communication has not been met within 3 days of winning an item, an Unpaid Item case will be filed and the item will be re-listed. This is EBay policy and so therefore it's our policy (meaning mine and yours :-) Unresolved Unpaid Item cases do leave a negative strike on your account, which in most cases will prevent you from bidding on future listings (mine and others)...it's a serious offense and should be avoided. Bid wisely and pay promptly and you can never go wrong :-)

SHIPPING:

In most cases (not including holidays or Sundays) I ship the same day as payment is received. If for some reason I am unavailable to do so (which isn't often :-) then I will post that on my message board (located by clicking my user i.d. and scrolling down the page).I choose the cheapest/fastest method of shipping so if you have specific shipping requirements (Priority, Express, box versus envelope (when applicable) then please email me before paying and I will adjust the invoice accordingly. I do combine shipping on multiple items completed within the same listing cycle (7 days). Mailing an item costs more than just postage and just because one seller low-balls shipping costs to entice you to spend more doesn't mean that I will. The shipping prices listed above includes the cost of supplies, delivery confirmation and actual postage. I do not make any money off of shipping - what it costs me, it costs you. Insurance is only provided upon request and does cost extra.

RETURNS:

I primarily deal in "old stuff" because that is what I like. "Old stuff" is found in basements, estate sales, yard sales, under rocks, backyards, garages, wood piles, attics, under cars and other strange and wonderful places. That's why they call them "hidden treasures." I am not an expert on anything I sell - only a fan- and I do my best to describe my items to the best of my abilities. Buyer's tend to be the experts, so if you have certain concerns about an item then it is in your best interest to address those before buying. In the event that I have grossly misrepresented an item or fail to point something obviously important out, I do offer a 100% money back refund, provided that the item(s) in question have been returned to me first and are in the same condition that they were originally shipped.  If a return is necessary, just keep the original mailer, replace item and write "Return to Sender" on the package and it can be returned to me without an additional cost to you. If the original mailer is unavailable to you, then return shipping costs are the buyer's responsibilities. Refunds are through Paypal when the item arrives back in my possession.

FEEDBACK:

Feedback will be left for you after you have left it for me first because I like to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase. If you are not satisfied, please contact me before leaving negative or neutral feedback so we can figure out a solution :-) I would very much appreciate a Five Star Feedback Rating because I do try to describe my items thoroughly, I am always available to communicate with, I ship the same day you pay me and (since I only charge you what it costs it me) I am very fair on my shipping charges. I invite you to compare my listings to others here on site...I will never just take a blurry picture and write "you get what you see above" and then take a week to deliver it to you in an unsavory fashion. Most of my sales are from repeat customers for a reason :-) .

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:

I will and do ship internationally, so if this applies to you just email me for a shipping quote. Having said that - First Class International does not come with tracking nor insurance and can take up to 3 months to deliver (depending on where you are). Priority International does come with tracking, insurance and takes only 6-10 business days for delivery no matter where you are - it's a little more expensive but I think it's worth it. I do charge an additional $1.99 to international orders because of the extra work involved with mailing them out (customs forms, travel and lost work hours due to travel and waiting in lines). I apologize, but this is non-negotiable. In the event you choose First Class (which is fine) I would like it to be stated that I cannot be held liable for loss or damages because you would have voluntarily chosen the "riskier/cheaper" shipping option. I like to provide you the option, because I realize no one wants to spend more than they think necessary but I like to point out the pro's and con's so you can be properly informed :-) Loss or damages are not common but they could happen so forewarned is forearmed :-)

SPECIAL ORDERS AND REQUESTS:

Two of my major hobbies are shopping around for old stuff and sewing clothes for a variety of vintage dolls (Jem, Tonner, Barbie, Cher, Tammy, Darci, Misty etc...). If there is something particular that you are looking for - put a shout out for it on my message board and I will keep an eye out for it when I'm out prowling the haunts :-) If you were interested in a special order fashion for your favorite fashion doll, email me or message board me and I will do what I can to make that happen for you! I have a track record of satisfied customers here on EBay who have purchased my custom fashions and I have started a shop on another site (that shall go unnamed but it starts with an "Et" and ends in a "sy" :-) that I am working on every week....so check in with me either here or there and we'll see about making your wishes a reality!

 ....and that's all folks!
