Wow! just today I noticed the previous shipping price using USPS Priority Mail; had no idea it was that outrageous!  I changed to Parcel Select w/ insurance and also lowered the item's price.  I hope that helps. 

 You are bidding on a vintage hand crafted wooden powered boat model with display stand.  It comes on a display rack and measures 30 inches in length, 7 inches wide and 7 inches tall. The propulsion system is missing and all I see under the deck is the propeller’s driveshaft and 4 holes near the stern which were used to secure the motor, I assume.  The workmanship is not perfect evident by a crooked window frame, some tool marks, etc.  There’s a vertical crack forming on the transom and the finish shows some wear.  I’ve had it at least 30 years and it came from an old guy’s estate who crafted it himself. Might even feel it’s a bit of rustic folk art???  I’m calling it in good condition.   Study the photos to assure your satisfaction.  Please contact seller with any questions prior to bidding.  Thank you for looking.  Folks, I really don’t know how to price this item; my apologies.

 Shipping costs are based on USPS Priority Mail, 11 lbs.  Please note that due to the current Covid, enticements not to work, and the government slowing down delivery to make them more efficient (go figure), the USPS may take longer than usual.  You just never know anymore.  In some cases I’ve experienced weeks, others just as fast as normal.  Don’t let USPS or Ebay lie to you by telling you different.  I mail within 3 days and usually sooner.  Please do not blame me if your order is late as Ebay is more than happy to throw us sellers under the bus.

  I accept Paypal, with payment due within 3 days of auction close.  Please feel free to contact me with additional questions prior to your bidding.  I pride myself with a 100% positive feedback rating and encourage communications to help maintain it.
