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 may be 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) USPS and FedEx. Never pay any handling charge.  I use “green” packaging either reused or purchased second-hand and right-sizing the item to the box. 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”. Small and medium size packages I ship Ground Advantage. Packages that are large/heavy I will ship through Fed Ex Ground/Home Delivery.

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 for any reason within 30 days of delivery for a full refund of the purchase price. The item should be returned in the original packaging if possible. I will pay the shipping costs and return 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.
