This auction is for a: Vintage Lesney Matchbox #44 REFRIGERATOR TRUCK. You get items shown in the pictures. These items are all original and not reproduction. They came from the original owner who took great care of them.
Note: This is coming from a smoke free environment.
Overall condition: This was not handled much and has remained in this box for most of it's existence. There's a couple tiny paint chip on the top back edge but in my opinion it is still in excellent condition otherwise. The box still looks good but has a little creasing and edge wear. The inner flaps are still intact. Please zoom in over the pictures to see better
If you have any further questions please email me before bidding. Please note that if something is not specifically described or pictured as being part of this auction listing, then it is not included.
MAKING OFFERS: Please do not email us with an offer or ask our best price as we will not answer that. If you don't want to purchase the item at the current buy it now price, it is up to the buyer to submit an offer with the "make offer" option on the screen. We don't always send counter offers so if you really want the item we suggest you make your actual best offer and leave it at that
RETURN POLICY: We only offer returns under certain circumstances and at the Seller’s sole discretion. The item(s) will need to be returned in the way you received them.
COMBINED SHIPPING: Domestically, I do combine shipping on almost all of my items with the exception being very large packages. There is minimum handling charge of $0.50 for each additional small part/accessory and $1 for each additional small action figure (like 3 ¾ GI Joe or Star Wars figures). For larger items the final shipping price depends upon the size and weight. In order for me to combine shipping you do need to wait for me to send you a combined invoice before paying.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS – PLEASE NOTE: I now ship exclusively through the eBay Global Shipping program. They will send you the final invoice which will include all shipping and import fees. I cannot alter an invoice, change shipping methods, remove the import fees or provide any additional shipping discounts so please do not ask me to do so.
SHIPPING POLICIES: I use Click 'n Ship so the delivery confirmation number is automatically emailed to you as well as stored on eBay when I print up the shipping label. So please check your account instead of emailing me for the shipping info. All payments must have confirmed addresses and I only ship to the confirmed address. There are no exceptions to this rule so please do not ask. I usually ship five times a week so most packages are shipped out within 3 business days of payment being received. Please keep in mind I have no control over the Post Office so the final delivery time depends upon them. Combined shipping is available for multiple purchases. Unless otherwise specified there is a minimum $1 handling fee for each additional item. The final total depends upon the size of the actual items purchased so email for a full quote before buying. In order to receive the shipping discount you need to wait for me to send you a combined invoice since eBay's system does not do this automatically.
GRADING POLICY: Please keep in mind that grading is a matter of opinion and not an exact science. As you can see from my feedback the vast majority of buyers are happy with my grading. However if you are unfamiliar with how I grade (or just picky) you should always ask questions before bidding. I do not accept returns just because you feel the item is in C8 condition and I graded it as C8.5. I strive to be as accurate as possible but I have found you can't please everyone and some people are just plain unreasonable.
COMPLETENESS POLICY: I use the generally accepted definition by the collecting community that an item is considered complete if it has all of the accessories/weapons it shipped with and that belong to the figure exclusively. This means all paper work, packaging and stickers are considered something separate since they are neither a weapon or accessory. Also, if multiple figures/items were packaged together, I only consider the parts that go to the specific item when judging completeness. For example any GI Joe vehicle and figure are considered two different items even though they were packaged together. Also, if an item came with a BAF (Build A Figure) part it also would not be considered part of that figure since it is used to build a separate figure. All of the major websites and identification books break down the toys this way and so do I.
COMMUNICATION: If there is a problem with your order always email me first before leaving feedback or opening a dispute. It is never my intent to "rip" anyone off. But if you don't make me aware of the problem I can't fix it. Also keep in mind that I am an individual and not a large business with multiple employees. I try to answer emails as quickly as possible but sometimes I'm just not around. So I will get back to you as soon as possible and I appreciate your patience. Remember, collecting should be fun.
