Condition: My aim is to grade conservatively. Listed below are grades and their corresponding meaning that I use in the item description and/or title: 

New: An item that has never been used: sealed or unsealed with label/tag. An item that shows no signs of ever being used.

NOS (New Old Stock): The item doesn’t show wear in areas which normally show wear when used but does show very minor wear from storage. 

Like-new: The item looks brand-new but on closer examination there are one or two very minor marks that show that the item has been used. 

Excellent: Very minor wear which is not distracting. It shows signs that it was used once or twice. No writing/marking/stains are present.

Very good: The wear that is evident shows that it was used occasionally and has been very well taken care of.

Good: A well-used item that may have considerable cosmetic wear and/or writing, marking, or stains but which the quality of its use does not suffer.

Fair: Evidence of abuse to the point where I feel that the quality of its use probably suffers slightly but not to the point of it being noticeable. It may show signs of being repaired in the past. 

Shipping & Handling: I usually ship items out the same day if payment is received by 4:00 pm PST (M-F). Never pay any handling charge.  I use “green” packaging (either reused or purchased second-hand). Let me know if you want to pick-up the item and I will change the listing to “Pick-up Only” and will deduct what the shipping would have been from the total price if listed as “Free Shipping”. Packages under 1 pound I ship First Class. Those over 1 pound I will ship 2-3 Day Priority Mail, 2-Day Fed Ex, or 3-Day Fed Ex, whatever you choose. 

Insurance: Insurance is provided at no charge on items over $100. 

Payments: Payments through PayPal only. Please send payments within 3 days of auction closing time. 

International Orders: Customs forms are always filled out accurately. International customers are responsible for all appropriate import duties and fees. International First Class Mail packages can take up to 4 weeks for delivery depending on weather, etc.  Please be patient. 

Returns: You may return items within 30 days of delivery.  The item should be returned in the original packaging if possible. I will pay the shipping costs and return shipping costs if the return is because of an error on my part. Otherwise, you are responsible for the shipping costs. If the item has been damaged/lost in transit I will refund your purchase price and postage. 

Feedback: I leave positive feedback at the time I have received cleared payment from you. I want you to be 100% happy with your order. When you receive your order, please take a moment to leave me positive feedback. My 5 star rating and your positive feedback is important to me, appreciated, and a vital part of my success. Neutral and negative feedback is permanent and harmful.
