A word of caution!
My reputation is such that I have become the go-to guy worldwide when it comes to EVP recorders over the last 21 years, because the professional paranormal investigators know that I ONLY handle the good ones.
Do not be fooled by sellers on the Internet who attempt to defraud unsuspecting buyers by claiming that some other model digital recorder they are peddling “has the same circuit board as the RR-DR60” or "is very similar to RR-DR60".
Think about it….if it was the same as a model RR-DR60 and RR-QR100, IT WOULD BE a RR-DR60 or RR-QR100. This early first-generation version RR-QR100 is the real McCoy!
Most recently, scammers have been peddling the $15.00 Panasonic models RR-QR80 and RR-QR240 (like sold for $13.90 and $15.68 including shipping in eBay auctions #220986035134 and #280887891736), which EVP professionals know, are virtually useless for EVP recording (notice the scammer’s claims are never supported by any verifiable third-party references, like I have below).
I heard recently from a poor fellow who was tricked into paying some scammer $1,000.00 for a useless $15.00 Panasonic RR-QR80.
While Panasonic manufactured several similar models, the RR-DR60 and early first-generation version RR-QR100 are generally known to be by far the most successful at capturing EVP.
To assure that suspected EVP are not just poorly reproduced normal sound, this Best Practice recommends that in addition to a RR-DR60, using an early first-generation version RR-QR100 as a second recorder, set to record and reproduce sound at a superior fidelity to that of the main EVP recorder.
With the exception of the RR-DR60 and early first-generation version RR-QR100, all other Panasonic recorder models such as the very common models RR-QR80 and RR-QR240 are all but useless for EVP recording, as is the second and third revision RR-QR100, RR-QR200 and RR-QR400 and RR-QR150 like sold for $4.45 including shipping in eBay auction #230626643768 and the RR-QR160 like sold for $6.75 including shipping in eBay auction #220786362957.
Excluding the properly attributed quotes, I personally authored every word in this listing. If you see any of my original copyrighted text, phrases, or information elsewhere, you will know that thief stole it from this listing and is a seller not to be trusted.
This is the first edition model offered in this listing is far more desirable than the second and third revisions like those listed for many weeks on eBay that nobody will buy, even at very low prices because everyone knows they are all but useless for recording EVP. As a result, since they do not work for EVP, you often see the same recorders resold over and over again, usually at a loss by the unsuspecting buyer.
The RR-QR100, RR-QR200, and RR-QR400 model recorders are absolutely identical with the only exception being the capacity of their memory chip (recording time). The RR-QR100 is 100 minutes, RR-QR200 is 200 minutes, and RR-QR400 is 420 minutes recording time.
While Night Vision, Thermal Imaging Systems, Infrared Cameras, IR Detectors, and Thermal Imaging Cameras like the FLIR T620 that recently sold for $19,700.00 in eBay auction #150558689274 are useful for locating paranormal activity, the RR-QR100 IC Digital Voice Recorder is better suited for capturing exactly what it was you discovered.
If you are using a Panasonic RR-DR60 by itself without a Panasonic RR-QR100 for EVP, you are only getting part of the picture. Professional investigators have learned that they need to use both an RR-DR60 and RR-QR100 at the same time, because while the RR-DR60 picks up a greater quantity of EVP, the EVP captured with the RR-QR100 is of substantially higher quality. As is well documented, the Best Practice of using two different recorders at the same time further serves to create a baseline.
It is easy to record environmental sounds that are natural, but that sometimes sound like EVP. The problem is finding a way to guard against mistaking ambient or normal sounds as being paranormal. This Best Practice recommends that a second RR-QR100 recorder is used in addition to the RR-DR60 when the person is unable to assure control of ambient sounds while recording for EVP.
To assure that suspected EVP are not just poorly reproduced normal sound, this Best Practice recommends that using a RR-QR100 as a second recorder, set to record and reproduce sound at a superior fidelity to that of the main EVP recorder.
New paranormal investigators often start with A PAIR of Panasonic RR-QR100 recorders for recording EVP until they can supplement or replace one of them with a RR-DR60.
Some professional paranormal investigators even prefer this model over the EARLY 1998 RR-DR60 (the best of the RR-DR60 models) I sold through eBay for $4,950 in my eBay listing #203627453636 . For Example, Michael Hrycyk is probably the best-equipped investigator with New Jersey Paranormal Research (NJPR) njpresearch[dot]com/Union.htm and uses the Panasonic model RR-QR100 exclusively. Some of his investigations are chronicled online and you can follow these 3 links to view them > Burlington County Prison nnjpr[dot]org/Burlington.htm - Union, NJ njpresearch[dot]com/Union.htm- Chester, NY newjerseyparanormalresearch[dot]com/Chester.htm.
New Jersey Paranormal Research (NJPR) is a group of professional investigators who specialize in researching ghosts, hauntings, and other paranormal phenomenon in the Tri-State area (New Jersey, New York, & Pennsylvania). Their investigators have over a decade of experience researching the paranormal and professionally collect and study evidence utilizing up-to-date scientific methods and equipment in order to fully research paranormal phenomenon. NJPR is partnered with Everyday Paranormal www.everydayparanormal.com/ (from the hit Discovery Channel series Ghost Lab: dsc.discovery[dot]com/tv/ghost-lab/ghost-lab.html ) to conduct investigations in the Tri-State area.
Well known paranormal researchers like Tom Butler and Lisa F. Butler (the Directors of the American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena (AA-EVP) aaevp[dot]com use both the RR-DR60 and RR-QR100 as they mention in their extremely comprehensive book "There Is No Death and There Are No Dead".
While Panasonic manufactured several similar models, the RR-DR60 and RR-QR100 are generally known to be by far the most successful at capturing EVP.
While the more common RR-DR60 was produced for more than 3 years, this RR-QR100 is far rarer due to its short production run.
When I could not find an early first generation RR-DR60 under $3,000.00, I started buying the RR-QR100, but never paid over $1,300.00 for one.
Unlike the other Panasonic RR-QR, RR-XR, and RR-US series recorders, the RR-QR100 and RR-DR60 are virtually identical, as the 100-minute RR-QR100 was simply the larger capacity version of the 60-minute RR-DR60, however the RR-QR100 was discontinued almost as soon as it was released because it was discovered to have the same Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) “problem” as the RR-DR60 and was discontinued at the same time as the RR-DR60. While the other QR models recorders were still produced for a period of time after the RR-DR60 & RR-QR100 were pulled from the market, eventually Panasonic removed all of their voice recorders from their website in 2001 until they finally “fixed” the EVP “problem” through complete redesign of the second generation QR series recorders and they were released (like the RR-QR150 that sold for $4.45 including shipping in eBay listing #230626643768 which was a total redesign and useless for EVP recording)
To learn more about the EVP “problem”, please see the section below.
If you are looking at this rare recorder, you already know what it is and why it is considered essential ghost hunting equipment used by serious ghost hunters. This legendary recorder is highly sought after by EVP (electronic voice phenomena) researchers worldwide including members of TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society). I understand that of the paranormal equipment they use, paranormal investigators consider the Panasonic RR-DR60 and RR-QR100 IC Digital Voice Recorders to be the most effective EVP recorders in existence. Simply stated, the Panasonic RR-DR60 and RR-QR100 are the gold standards of EVP ghost hunting.
When field-tested in side-by-side comparison tests with other Digital Voice Recorder models made by Panasonic, Sony, Olympus, and others, the EVP results are like night & day. The RR-DR60 and RR-QR100 are by far the leaders in recording EVP, bar none.
You can read more about listening to electronic voice phenomena (EVP) with the Panasonic recorders in the article by Peggy Kane posted at https://www.evpreversespeaking.com/rsmanual/rsmanual.pdf
I understand that it was a Panasonic IC Digital Voice Recorder like this one that they used on the Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures documentary that aired LIVE recently.
Unlike an EMF meter or an EMF detector, since this has the VAX (also known as VOX) feature (recording automatically pauses when no sound is detected) it can be used unattended for extended periods of time by placing this IC recorder in the location you want to monitor for sound, without possible interference of people or blank portions in recordings since in the VAX mode it just records sounds when they are present.
The RR-QR100 will record for 30 hours on one set of batteries (I always found that a RR-QR100 will go even longer using Sanyo Eneloop 800 mAh Ni-MH AAA rechargeable batteries). Since the memory chip holds 100 minutes of recorded sound, using the VAX (also known as VOX) mode it will record for at least 30 hours or until a total of 100-minutes (1 hour 40 minutes) of sound is detected and recorded. In the instant-on VAX mode, this RR-QR100 IC Digital Voice Recorder only records sounds when they are present and recording automatically pauses when no sound is detected.
This Panasonic IC Memory Recorder weighs only 44 grams and fits easily into a shirt pocket. It offers 15 hours playback time and 30 hours recording time on only two alkaline batteries. The memory recorder is an absolute must for voice recordings at meetings, news interviews, and seminars, or on the spot recording of ideas and information when a pen and paper are not accessible or practical, for example when driving. For added convenience, each file is numbered and marked with a date, time, and duration of the recording.
I bought this factory-original, A-stock first-run quality Panasonic RR-QR100 IC Digital Voice Recorder brand new factory sealed and it was NOT a B-quality, distressed, refurbished, remanufactured, reconditioned, re-certified, renewed, repaired, factory second, blemished, previous return, DOA (Dead on Arrival), scratch-and-dent, demonstration, floor sample, or a transshipped gray market unit.
This Panasonic RR-QR100 IC Digital Voice Recorder is brand new and in absolutely mint condition.
This unit has been in my constant possession since it was brand new, has always been stored in a climate-controlled environment, and has never been subject to exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, liquid or other substance. None of its original components ever been replaced, repaired, modified, or altered in any way.

To further explain the EVP “problem”, I have included the information below that I wrote for the other Panasonic digital voice recorder I sold recently. While written for the RR-DR60, most if this same information applies to this RR-QR100 since the RR-DR60 and RR-QR100 are virtually identical, especially when recording EVP.
As you may know, the first edition units like this one are the most sought-after of all Panasonic EVP digital recorders, because they were manufactured long before Panasonic attempted to “fix” the EVP “problem” through revising the later production units and eventually discontinuing both the RR-DR-60 and the RR-QR100, which as it turned out had the same “problem”. Now considered the Holy Grail of EVP equipment, the RRDR60 and RR-QR100 models were discontinued about 19 years ago because people complained to Panasonic that they were “hearing voices that weren't supposed to be there".
On the Coast to Coast AM Show Ghost Investigations & EVPs www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2009/08/17 hosted by George Noory, paranormal investigator and star of the Court TV (Tru TV) show Haunting Evidence www.trutv.com/shows/haunting_evidence, Patrick Burns https://www.patrick-burns.com/ recently discussed his work and presented a group of EVP recordings. During the show, Patrick Burns stated that EVP (electronic voice phenomena) is the strongest evidence for ghostly activity, and a digital audio recorder seems to do the best job capturing such sounds. He noted that the Panasonic RR-DR60 model www.evpuk.com/evp_equipment.html is particularly effective, but it was withdrawn from the market because transcriptionists were complaining that it was picking up voices that were not there. Burns shared some EVPs, including one recorded at a cemetery of a little girl saying, "be nice”

According to Mark Turner, a man with a wealth of knowledge of EVP, the key to successful EVP recording is the Panasonic RR-DR60 recorder. (see:www.viceland.com/int/v16n4/htdocs/ghouls-in-the-machine-824.php ) where he is quoted:
Interviewer question: "So what machines are best for recording the voices of the deceased?"
Mark Turner's reply: "It’s definitely the Panasonic RR-DR60. It’s far and away the best."
Interviewer question: "Someone should tell Panasonic. They could use that as a USP."
Mark Turner's reply: "We tell them, but they don’t respond to anything about EVP. I wish we knew what made them so good, but without help from Panasonic’s engineers we can’t work it out. We try taking them apart, but no luck so far."
Mark Turner is the co-founder of Ghost Finders Scotland https://ghostfinders.co.uk/homepage.html and the EVP Research Association www.evpuk.com/, a professional organization studies Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP).
What? You have read all the
way down to here and still have not clicked the Buy-It-Now button. Why not?
What are you waiting for? Better
refresh this page because someone else may have started reading before you and
already bought this.
USE BUY IT NOW to ensure you get this item! Not long
ago, after allowing myself to get distracted by something else, I clicked the
Buy-It-Now button on a listing, only to discover it had already
sold! Lesson learned!
The downside of “Watch this item”
Often, I hear from people hoping I had
another one to list and saddened because they had added my item to their watch
list while they were waiting for another auction to end (thinking that for some
reason the rest of the world missed what they thought was going to be a
bargain) only to be disappointed again in the end when the other item bid up in
the last few minutes as often happens and sold for far more than they could have
bought mine with buy-it-now a week ago.
Unfortunately
for them, the only one I had was sold days earlier and the new owner had
already received it by then (since I usually ship same day - read some of the comments
in the feedback buyers have posted for us). You will notice in our
feedback that many buyers are proud of their wise decision to secure their
purchase and receive their item right away through buy-it-now.
If you are like me when I want to buy something, I want it NOW - not “6d 17h” from now, and then
only IF I win some auction days in the future. My time is far too valuable to spend
searching for a potentially slightly better deal or waiting for auction after
auction to end, having to inquire as to incomplete details in multiple
listings, or evaluate multiple sellers’ feedback. When I find a fair
price from a reputable seller who charges just the actual cost of shipping and
will ship same day, I use his Buy-It-Now immediately, because life is too short
to dink around.
Don't
just be a watcher. Get in the game, make me an offer, make my day - No
reasonable offer refused.

Information to Consider
Before Your Purchase
About Us: We are not
dealers, just a husband and wife clearing out an accumulation of “spare
stuff” for the first time after 42 years together. As eBay buyers
ourselves, we avoid listings with vague details or incomplete
descriptions and knowing that any other wise buyer will do the same. We offer an honest and accurate description
of all items (most of which we originally bought new) to the best of our ability,
including our own original digital pictures of the actual item you will
receive. We strive to provide you the
same information we would want to know if we were the buyer. If we have missed something in the
description that you would like to know, please ask and we will be glad to
accommodate. All items are in our possession,
will be packaged very well for shipping, will ship immediately after payment
clears, and arrive exactly as described in the listing. |
|
Buy with Confidence: By participating in
one of our listings, you have the confidence that your transaction from start
to finish will be a smooth flawless one. One big advantage of buying from us is that
you have the opportunity to check out our long positive eBay feedback record to
get to know us in advance, rather than being stuck with gambling on trusting
an anonymous trading partner (often in an undisclosed location, with
inaccessible contact information, or contact phone number). We have had the same eBay username and verified
I.D. since 1998 with more than 2,350 positive eBay feedbacks earned through
flawless transactions, same physical address since 1973, same bank account
number and telephone number since 1977, same business location and spouse
since 1979. |

Our Reputation: As
full-time self-employed small business owners since 1979, having successfully
completed thousands of long-distance high-dollar transactions from a bricks
& mortar location with customers worldwide since long before the Internet
came along, we understand the importance of accessibility, clear
communication, and the concerns buyers face.
We have always been richly rewarded by our repeat customers since we
know that if we do it right, they will tell two friends, but do it wrong and they will tell everybody! It takes a lifetime to earn an impeccable
reputation like ours and we know that it only takes a moment to destroy
it. This is why we have always dealt
with our customers the way we would want to be treated. Naturally, we have applied these same principals
to every Internet transaction since we came online in March 1998. |
|
Our References: We are always willing
to supply credible references that are easily VERIFIABLE through local business,
government, and law enforcement upon request.
We hope you will start with viewing our outstanding feedback
record. With our eBay accounts
combined, more than 4,737 satisfied people have already voluntarily taken the
time to leave feedback for us, 100% of which is positive. Since statistically only about a quarter
take the time to leave feedback, it is safe to assume that there are easily
another 14,211 people (18,948 total) who are just as satisfied but did not
take the time to post feedback. Believe me, unhappy people will almost
always leave negative or neutral feedback, of which we have almost none, for
good reason. |

Questions: Although we do
our very best to provide the most complete information possible in the
description of every item that we list, we are not experts on every item we
have for sale, and cannot possibly presume your knowledge level or
familiarity with the specific item listed or anticipate your needs or
intended use for the item, so we cannot be responsible for any questions that
you may not have resolved to your satisfaction BEFORE you purchase from us.
To eliminate any possible misunderstanding, please do not assume or
take for granted anything not expressly and specifically stated in the listing
description. If you have pre-purchase
questions, you can easily get our phone number as follows: Simply click the “Contact Seller”
link in the “Seller Information” box on upper right corner of this
listing page. Then on the "Find
answers" page that opens next, select "Other" and
then click the "view phone number" link that appears and
then dial our phone number (home/shop phone - land-line - has no way to
receive text)., or you can simply go to the eBay “Contact Seller” link in the “Seller
Information” box on upper right corner of this page. We will reply as promptly as possible. As per eBay protocol, all post-purchase
communications must go through the eBay "Contact seller" message
system. |

private party selling our own personal property, where applicable, the terms
of this transaction shall be in strict accordance with the Sales Information
& Policies we established in 1979 for our business https://www.lightningspeedshop.com/4a-lightning-speed-shop-sales-information-policies.htm
and as stated herein. Unless otherwise
expressly and explicitly stated, all items are sold in untested used
condition having wear, tear, and/or deterioration, without any express
warranty or any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for any
intended use. All items are sold "as
is" and "where is" by a private owner, with no expressed or
implied warranty, representation, or guarantee. Only what is specified in the description
and/or pictured is included. All
transactions are FOB/FCA our location in Monticello, Illinois 61856. |
|
Binding Contract: Buyer represents
and warrants that Buyer has read, understand, and agrees to all of the terms and
conditions applicable to this eBay listing for the item Buyer is bidding to
purchase or Buy-It-Now. These include
any applicable terms of sale, warranty terms, statements of the condition of
the item Buyer is purchasing, and the Seller's return policies, all of which
are contained or referenced in this listing for the item Buyer is bidding to
purchase or Buy-It-Now. Buyer understands
that his/her bid is a legal and binding contract subject to these terms and conditions. |
|
Other Payment Options: In addition to credit
or debit cards, PayPal, PayPal Credit, Propay, loyalty incentives, such as
eBay Bucks, payment through eBay and AS
PER EBAY RULES; for some eBay categories including Business &
Industrial and eBay Motors, we also accept bank-to-bank transfers or deposits
(also known as bank wire transfers and bank cash transfers), Money 0rder, Bank, Cashier’s, Personal, Company, Certified, or
Electronic Check drawn on banks located in the USA and International Postal
Money 0rders honored by the
United States Postal Service. We will
also consider receiving payment through one of the following eBay-approved online payment services: Allpay.net, CertaPay.com,
Fiserv.com, Nochex.com, and Xoom.com, but please ask before you bid or
buy-it-now if you wish to use one of these services as certain terms and
conditions may apply. As per eBay regulations, the above
other payment options are offered only for items that we have listed in the
following eBay categories: eBay Motors - Cars & Trucks, Motorcycles, and
Other Vehicles & Trailers; eBay Motors Parts & Accessories - Engines,
and Engines & Components; and Real Estate. Due to the recent epidemic involving
counterfeit negotiable instruments, all payments by money 0rder, check or other bank draft will delay shipping 12 business
days for clearance, after deposited into our account (not including Saturday,
Sunday, or holiday). Checks, money 0rders, and bank wire transfers aren't allowed for most
eBay transactions. However, you can use these payment methods to buy vehicles,
capital and business equipment, real estate, and items you pick up in person.
Bank wire transfers inside the USA must
be via FedWire and from outside the USA via the SWIFT wire service (the same
services most banks use). If credit
or debit cards are used, it is expressly and explicitly agreed that no
charge-backs are allowed for any reason.
We also offer zero interest layaway (see “Layaway Terms”
section below) and since it would be a violation of eBay rules for us to list
other well-known point-to-point money and wire transfer services as payment
options, we can say that in more than 40 years, we have never refused to
accept a payment through any method a buyer has offered. |
|
Buy-It-Now Listings: Unlike an active
auction where a buyer enters a proxy bid and may not be online to complete
payment the moment a listing ends, Buy-It-Now listings end as soon as buyer
completes the buy-it-now. Since a buy-it-now
bidder is online when he or she ends the listing with buy-it-now, we require
that buyer complete payment immediately. Failure to do so will result in the item being
considered unpaid and dealt with accordingly (see “Unpaid Items” section
below). If you have already committed
to a buy-it-now and for any reason are unable to complete payment right away,
please contact us immediately to discuss this. |
|
Layaway Terms: Minimum 25%
non-refundable deposit required. Balance
under $1000 - 30-days same as cash, $1000-$2000 - 60-days same as cash, $2000-$3000
- 90-days same as cash, $3000 and up custom terms available. Any money or other consideration is received
as partial payment and will be forfeited if balance due is not paid as agreed
within the allotted time. Layaways
that exceed the above-specified periods and layaways with custom terms are
subject to 1.5% service charge per month on any unpaid balance from the date
of sale. The minimum monthly payment
is 20% of the purchase price unless we agree in advance to custom terms. Written layaway agreement must be signed in
advance and deposit must be received within 72 hours. |
|
Escrow: Provided Buyer
sets it up and pays all associated fees, with our prior approval, payment for
any item we sell can be processed through eBay's approved escrow service www.Escrow.com. |
|
International
Buyers – Please Note:
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 (if any) these additional costs will be prior to
bidding/buying. These charges are
normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you
pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below
value or mark items as "gifts" - USA and International government
regulations prohibit such behavior. While we have to declare the value at exactly the purchase
amount and not as a gift, there has been a trend lately for international
buyers to have a friend or relative in the USA purchase an item, and then send
it overseas to them as a gift, which is perfectly legal. |
|
International Payments: Payment methods for
international transactions totaling more than $1,000.00 USD must be approved
by us in advance. Any item that is
classified as restricted or prohibited for the destination country according
to the USPS Postal Explorer, International Mail Manual, Index of Countries
and Localities, is always shipped at Buyer’s sole risk and the payment method
must be approved by us in advance. |
|
Shipping: No hidden fees,
we only charge the actual cost of shipping at published retail rates with
delivery confirmation from zip code 61856.
We take pride in everything we sell, have extensive experience with shipping,
and personally package every item we ship extremely well ourselves to ensure
safe arrival to your destination. Sometimes
it takes longer, but normally we ship items within one business day after
full payment has cleared, often the same day.
We do not ship items listed as “Local Pickup Only”. We reserve the right to hold any shipment
until we can confirm full payment has cleared. We will ship to APO/FPO, U.S. Territory,
and Post Office Box address provided any delivery confirmation as required
herein is available to that location or if payment is by wire transfer (if in an eBay category that eBay allows such
payment method). For your
protection, to ensure that we are shipping to the person who set up your
account, we only ship to the address shown on the PayPal transaction details
page, or in the case of non-PayPal payments, to the address shown in the eBay
end of listing confirmation email and/or eBay Sales Record page. IF
the cost of shipping is included in the purchase amount you pay at no additional
charge, the cost of postage/shipping and insurance, at the carrier's
published rate, is not refundable. |
|
Shipping Calculator: No hidden fees or
“handling charges” are concealed in the shipping calculator in our listings
(and only the true weight & dimensions are factored). If a shipping calculator is included in
this listing, it is intended only to provide you an estimate of shipping
cost. The total amount to be added to
the winning bid or buy-it-now price will be the actual cost of shipping at published
rates as determined by the type of delivery service used, weight, size,
destination, and all required tracking, delivery confirmation, and insurance
fees. If listing contains no shipping
calculator, that is because the item is offered for in-store pickup only. |
|
Shipping Options: We strive to
provide you with the lowest cost mode of transportation and multiple shipping
options from which you may choose. If you
have special shipping needs, please contact us before you enter a bid or buy-it-now
and we will try our best to accommodate.
As per eBay rules, for all PayPal transactions totaling $250.00 USD or
more, buyer must select and pay for a shipping service that provides detailed
online tracking documentation with adult signature proof of delivery
confirmation signed by the buyer. For
all other transactions, buyer may select any service providing standard delivery
confirmation that can be tracked online to their destination. Online tracking, delivery confirmation, and
insurance requirements are for our protection and yours, ensuring that you
receive what you pay for. |
|
Combined Shipping: We are happy to
combine shipping if you purchase more than one item from us. Combined shipping cost is the actual cost of
shipping based on the total combined shipping weight, package dimensions, and
delivery destination at carrier published rates. No hidden fees or deceitful surcharges! Since we normally ship immediately upon
receipt of completed payment, if you wish to bid on or purchase other items
from us, please go ahead and pay for your first purchase as usual and simply
notify us to hold shipping until all your purchases are complete. This way we can adjust the shipping fee on
invoices for your subsequent purchase(s) and often eliminate additional shipping
costs altogether. |
|
Insurance: If the cost of
insurance is factored in the shipping rate quoted in this listing, it is done
so at the actual cost (no hidden fees) and clearly disclosed near the top of
the listing. Delivery in described physical
condition is not guaranteed without buyer purchasing shipping insurance. To prevent fraud, we document every order
shipped via photos, video, and/or a confidential mark strategically placed in
an inconspicuous location on all items. |
|
Delivery Confirmation: Third party commercial
carrier delivery confirmation shall be sufficient evidence that any shipment
has been delivered to buyer, whether or not acknowledged by buyer. Buyer must provide a secure environment at a
PayPal confirmed delivery address location, or make special arrangements with
the carrier to pick the shipment up in person (held at Post Office or carrier
terminal for recipient pickup). |
|
Local Pickup: No handling fee
for local pickup, which we welcome and encouraged by appointment at our shop
in Monticello Illinois (halfway between Champaign and Decatur Illinois, 1
hour east of Springfield Illinois, and 2 hours from Chicago, St. Louis, and
Indianapolis). Since we have several
locations, contact us for the exact pickup address. Full payment, including any storage fee
due, must clear in advance as referenced above or be paid in cash (U.S.
currency) at the time of local pickup.
Buyer must provide valid current government-issued photo
identification (ID card) that shows buyer’s entire face and an ID number,
containing buyers’ correct name, and current address that matches buyers’
registered contact information on file with eBay and/or PayPal, along with a
printed copy of the eBay 6-digit Local Pickup code and QR code that you
received from eBay when you completed your payment, and sign a statement of
items received. Local pickup hours are
Monday through Friday 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM Central time, by appointment at
15-minute intervals, and must be scheduled during normal business hours (M-F
9-5) at least 72 hours in advance. The buyer is also welcome to make his own
transportation arrangements and we will provide coordination with the buyer's
carrier for pickup. |
|
Storage Fee: $20.00 per
calendar day for any item that weighs more than 50 pounds or that has any
length, width, or height dimension greater than 20 inches. Five (5) days storage included with every sale
at no charge. Storage fee does not
apply to items purchased on a pre-arranged layaway, provided the payments are
made on time as specified above and all other layaway terms and conditions are
met by buyer within the allotted time. |
|
Freight Shipping: Cartons measuring
longer than 108”, more than 165" total (length of longest dimension + 2x
width + 2x height), or weighing more than 150 pounds (70 pounds for residential
delivery address) must ship via motor freight, freight charges collect,
FOB/FCA Monticello, Illinois, with insurance and adult signature delivery
confirmation. Since we have accounts
with Yellow Transportation, Con-Way Transportation, (and D & D express for
delivery inside Illinois), the same discounted rates we receive pass those same
savings on to the buyer. Buyer is also
welcome to make his own transportation arrangements and we will provide
coordination with buyer's carrier for pickup. |
|
International Shipping: As we have for
more than 40 years, we ship internationally to destinations all around the
world. Since we have no way of knowing
in advance where a buyer is located, buyer is required to know their own
country's import restrictions, rules, taxes, available delivery services, and
eligible payment methods that meet our requirements as stated herein before
purchasing from us. If required, buyer
is responsible for clearing the item for export from the United States of
America, import to the destination country, and compliance with any additional
rules or regulations imposed by any country whose borders the shipment will
cross. If an item is restricted or
prohibited from importation to Buyer’s country by any government regulation,
Buyer is solely responsible for arranging transportation FOB/FCA our location
in Monticello, Illinois 61856. In some
countries, buyers will be required to pay additional customs brokerage fees,
duties, taxes, tariffs, or additional local delivery fees imposed by foreign
governments, shipping companies, or third-party freight forwarders or
handlers upon receipt of shipment and in addition to the transaction amount. If regulations require us to prepare export
documents, buyers outside of the USA will be assessed an additional $20.00
document charge. International buyers must
add $.01 handling fee for each $1.00 of total payment (unless payment is by
wire or mail) (if in an eBay category that
eBay allows such payment method). The value of all items being shipped will be
declared at exactly the purchase amount and not as a gift. Buyers outside of the USA must select and
pay for a shipping service that provides detailed tracking information and
adult signature proof of delivery confirmation that can be tracked
online. We also need the recipients
contact phone number for the shipping documents. Since international shipments usually take
longer than domestic deliveries and customs clearance sometimes further
delays the delivery, to prevent misunderstanding or negative feedback, international
buyers must acknowledge the estimated time in transit for the selected shipping
service with their payment or through the eBay message forwarding
service. If the cost of insurance is
not specified or added by the shipping calculator, please wait until you
receive an invoice from us through eBay to pay for your international purchase. Since online tracking and/or full value
insurance is not offered by some shipping services to all international
destinations, shipping outside the USA will be restricted to those carriers
offering these services if required by the terms contained herein. |
|
Damage in Transit: Delivery of the
item in good condition is the responsibility of the carrier. In the unlikely event an item is damaged in
shipment, buyer will be responsible for notifying and filing any damage reports
required by a shipping company. Should
any carton arrive in damaged condition, immediately bring the condition to
the delivery person's attention, and open the carton and inspect the contents
while in his/her presence. If the contents
are damaged, immediately notify the carrier of damage and preserve all
contents and original packing materials for inspection. Do not return items damaged in shipment to
us, as doing so will void the shipping insurance. Contact us with all the details of the
damage immediately. We will contact the
carrier and file a damage claim and they will contact you to coordinate an
inspection and/or retrieve the shipment.
Claims for goods damaged in transit can take up to six weeks. As soon as the carrier completes the inspection
process, pays the claim, and/or returns any undamaged portion of the shipment
to us, we will replace the item if we can, and if not, we will issue an
immediate refund. |
|
Privacy: Information provided
to us will never be provided to any third party - unless you give express
permission to do so. We respect your
privacy and do not partake in the practice of selling or distributing buyer
information for any reason. We will never
use your personal or business information in any way that violates your privacy. When you provide any information to us, it will
only be used in such a manner as has been made clear to you, with your acknowledgment and prior permission. |
|
Money Back Guarantee: If you do not
receive the item as described in this listing, if we can replace the item, we
will, if not, we will issue you a full refund including all shipping charges upon
return of the item. Any other item purchased
will be subject to deduction of shipping charges in both directions plus the standard
25% processing & inspection fee. Any
purchase canceled before it is shipped is only subject to a 25% processing fee. We do not allow cancellations, accept returns,
or issue refunds because buyer failed to read and/or understand the item
description and/or ask questions BEFORE a purchase, buyer changed mind, does
not like an item or does not fit, misunderstood the listing, committed to
purchase the wrong item, purchased by mistake, unauthorized use of buyer’s account,
or buyer’s remorse, nor do we have a price matching policy. |
|
30-Day Return Policy: Due to our marketing
and inventory procedures, all sales are final. We do not allow cancellations, accept returns,
or issue refunds because buyer failed to read and/or understand the item
description and/or ask questions BEFORE a purchase, buyer changed mind, does not
like an item or does not fit, misunderstood the listing, committed to
purchase the wrong item, purchased by mistake, unauthorized use of buyer’s account,
or buyer’s remorse, nor do we have a price matching policy. However, returns are allowed for a 30-day period on any transaction where payment
is through www.Escrow.com. After receiving the item, you must contact
us through the open escrow you created for the transaction at www.Escrow.com
and we must receive the item back within 30 days
of the original escrow opening date.
All other return policies as stated herein apply. Any returned item will be subject to shipping
charges in both directions plus a 25% processing & inspection fee. Failure to communicate with us and allow us
a reasonable opportunity to resolve any possible issue or misunderstanding
BEFORE opening a case, opening a return request, leaving negative or neutral
feedback, or less than 5 Detailed Seller Rating (DSR) stars will immediately
negate this return policy. For additional
terms & conditions, please see the "Money Back Guarantee"
section above and "Feedback" section below. |
|
Standard Return Policy: Since we no longer
have supervision or control over its care, treatment, maintenance, or
modification once it leaves our possession, items are not eligible for
return. Therefore, we allow no returns,
refunds, or exchanges and all sales are final. If allowed by the terms expressed in this
listing description section, all returns/exchanges must be in the original sale
condition and packaging, receive our prior approval, receive a Return Authorization
Number (RMA #) from us in advance, and be shipped prepaid with insurance and tracking
within one business day following date
received by buyer (same shipping time as specified in this listing and that we
provided to you). Sender must
provide us valid online tracking number as soon as it is issued or package will
be refused. Shipping and handling fees
are always non-refundable. This policy
does not apply to items purchased on Layaway.
Any transaction correctly processed by us, but refused by, returned by,
or otherwise undelivered to, the buyer, will be subject to the standard 25% processing
& inspection fee, the cost of return shipping, and/or any other associated
costs. Any shipment sent back without
a valid RMA # clearly marked on the shipping label outside of the package,
freight collect, postage due, or bill recipient, will be refused. To prevent fraud, we document every order
shipped via photos, video, and/or a confidential mark strategically placed in
an inconspicuous location on all items, often under the supervision of the carrier’s
employee just before sealing the shipment and their acceptance of the shipment. Any item returned will always be
intercepted and inspected by the USPS Postmaster or other shipping official and
if that person deems necessary, be turned over to the Postal Inspector or law
enforcement for fraud investigation. For
additional terms & conditions, please see the "Money Back
Guarantee" section above and "Feedback" section below. |
|
Feedback: We pride
ourselves on making sure that each buyer is satisfied before, during, and
after every transaction. Our feedback
is extremely important to us. Our goal
is to successfully complete each transaction flawlessly (hence our user ID
Flawless-Transactions) and earn another positive feedback and all 5-star
Detailed Seller Ratings for every item we list. If for any reason you wish to contact us after
receiving your purchase, please do so within
24 hours so we may immediately resolve any issues or concerns. Whatever
you do, please at least contact us, and allow us a
reasonable opportunity to investigate the situation and resolve any possible
issue or misunderstanding BEFORE you open a case, open a return request,
consider posting neutral or negative feedback for us, or anything less than
5-stars. Failure to do so before opening
a case, opening a return request, leaving negative or neutral feedback, or
low Detailed Seller Rating (DSR) stars will immediately negate our return policy. Please remember that the Detailed Seller Star
Ratings have NOT been anonymous
since added to seller reports back on April 16, 2014. When you post positive feedback for us,
please mention the item by name and its quality only (no general or generic
comments please i.e.: quick email, fast shipping, exact description, well
packed, highly recommend, very good transaction, etc., as we already have
enough of these feedbacks). When you
leave positive feedback with all 5-star Detailed Seller Ratings for us, we
will know your purchase arrived safely and close another successful
transaction by posting positive feedback for you. |

Unpaid Items: By placing a bid
or committing to buy-it-now on this listing, you are agreeing to the terms contained
herein and entering a binding contract that we will honor and enforce to the
full extent of the law. We recommend
the use of an online instant payment service such as PayPal.com, next day overnight
letter service or wire transfer (if in
an eBay category that eBay allows such payment method) to ensure that
your payment arrives within the required 24 hours. If buyer fails to contact us within 24
hours after listing ends, or we do not receive payment as specified in the payment
instruction section above, or in accordance with special payment arrangements
expressly agreed to by us BEFORE you
bid or bought, you forfeit all rights under said contract, and we reserve the
right, but no obligation, to void the transaction and re-list the item. We file to recover all associated damages
for any unpaid bid or executed buy-it-now through eBay and the courts. Any payment less than the total amount due
by the terms contained herein is received as a non-refundable deposit and will
be forfeited if full balance due is not paid within the allotted time. |
