Now to this fine item:
Today I'm listing, in separate sales, a collection of vintage postcards. The majority are early 20th Century, but I've also listed a few old British Seaside cheeky comedy ones also,
Each is in VGC+, at least, with minor exceptions that you will see . . . The PICTURES Are provided for you to view the condition of each. Most are VGC / EC, one has a crease, a few have had stamps removed, should that be important, so please use the pictures and buy with confidence
The condition of each is slightly varied from one to the next, of course, so pictures are included to specifically allow you to fsatisfy you in that regard, as well as to give you an idea of the format and agreeability of the writing and presentation.
Each is for sale SEPARATELY.
THIS sale is for the item below that is
*described in GREEN text
*described in the TITLE of this listing
*Shown in the pictures.
But, for your convenience, I am including details of each of the items here.
Multiple purchases?
Postage is charged ONLY for the FIRST postcard. All other postcards purchased at the same time will incur ZERO extra postage provided that they await a later invoice. (else excess postage payment will be refunded).
The BEST way to purchase multiple items is simple:
Press 'Buy It Now', then 'Commit To Buy' for each item BUT DO NOT PAY until you later receive a 'Combined Postage' invoice from us. [Ebay cannot do this as they do not know the final weight of your parcel].
Your first invoice, generated automatically by Ebay, will be incorrect.
We will create an amended invoice for you .Your postage will be for your first postcard for Australia Post packaging materials.
Alternatively, if you pay for each item as you purchase it, we automatically REFUND 85% of your excess postage, the other 15% having been correctly deducted for services (Ebay 10%, Paypal 5%).
So, simply, your choice.
Should other items be of interest, please go to ?View Seller's Other Items' in the panel at the top right of this listing.
However, items that cannot be found will have already been purchased.
Thank you.
Details can best be found in the pictures. Please view as advised above.

FROM EXPERIENCE, we find the following items, decisions and comments necessary.:
Buyers from the following countries please take note:
CANADA and NEW ZEALAND: We have regularly experienced several WEEKS delay before a recipient received his / her purchase.
Please DO NOT rely on delivery dates that Ebay quite reasonably suggests.
Tracking is an extra fee, upon request.
ALL Countries of AFRICA, North to South, plus Middle-Eastern Countries, including ISRAEL:
So many goods have failed to reach their destination that we will ONLY send purchases there if an EXTRA FEE for Insured delivery is accepted by the purchaser. Therefore, please DO NOT PAY until you have received a REVISED INVOICE. Else await a paypal request for the additional amount.
This may sound mean, but loss of goods AND postage costs, both inevitably refunded to disappointed buyers, has led to this decision, with regret.
Thank you.
I have literally Thousands of other books listed.
Combined postage welcome, to your advantage; you may care to await amended invoice if so, else we will promptly refund your overpayment.
[Unless this purchase is a fragile item] . . . . . please do not request home pickup, as refusal may offend. Our postage costs are ?Stamps + $2.00 for quality packaging? this is likely to be cheaper than petrol, in most cases!
BUYERS PLEASE NOTE, also, that it is expected that PAYMENT is made within FIVE DAYS unless an arrangement has been made with us prior to bidding. For example, if you anticipate bidding on another of our listed items.
If NO CONTACT has been made in this time, in fairness to other Ebay users, Ebay will be notified that you have defaulted. Please DO NOT bid if you cannot meet these fair and simple requirements.
Should an unforseen difficulty arise, then PLEASE LET US KNOW. We are very understanding. But, of course, we are not mind, readers.
