display shown to potential customers in a glass-enclosed cabinet. No
handling allowed. Then stored in a climate-controlled, smoke-free
stockroom.
Any noted chips, cracks, missing items, or deficits of ANY type will be
disclosed here: NONE IDENTIFIED.
** We use a "ring"
lamp to photograph many of our items. We also use a lot of Styrofoam in
our shipping process. If any presumed defects are noted in the photos of
any of our pieces, they are likely from the light's reflection or a stray small
flake of Styrofoam that was not noticed during the photo session. If you
have ANY concerns about the quality of a piece, please contact us for clarification.
Thank you.
FREE shipping and insurance through UPS or
USPS to the contiguous, lower 48 United States or to International countries
that are included in eBay's Global Shipping Program. We will ship to
destinations not included in eBay's Global Shipping Program at the buyer's
expense.
Combined shipping is available for multiple
purchases on the same day. Request to "Combine
Shipping" when purchasing more than one item. Only the USPS/UPS
expense, the cost of the box & shipping materials will be charged.
SHOULD YOU CONTACT US TO ASK FOR A LOWER PRICE?
Being mostly a consignment service, our prices are set by each
item's owner. Each collector or former retailer listing merchandise
with us is given the option of including a "Make An Offer" tab for
buyers to use for their BUY IT NOW listings.
The vast majority
of our long-time, serious collectors and former retailers prefer NOT to include
this option in their listings. They feel this lessens the value of
these very popular collectibles. They attempt to price their listings
close to the current, fair, market price and prefer not to be contacted several
times for each piece they list with us discussing discounts in a ?garage sale?
or flea-market type of interaction. Many of our sellers tell us "If
we were wiling to accept a lower price, we would have listed it at that
price".
