This is an absolutely amazing collectible. The stickers are not on the car but I don’t see any scratches or wear on the vehicle. It looks like mint condition. The switch to operate the claw works correctly and is not broken. The doors open freely as they should without broken hinges. I don’t believe this toy was ever used. It appears that they only open the box and didn’t even play with the toy at all which is absolutely amazing
Unfortunately, as you can see the box is not in perfect condition and does contain one tear on one side but it is an end. We never attempt to alter or repair any of these collectibles and leave that up to the purchaser because everybody has different ways of dealing with Damage and we don’t like to alter anything unnecessary that shouldn’t be altered. You will also notice that there is some scuffs on the package, but if you were putting it on the shelf, there would be a perfect display side and they would never ever see the damage. The car is nearly mint condition and I am in shock about that. I could not imagine the lack of scratches and lack of damage. Aside from the missing graphics that were never applied to the car. The car is beautiful and if you can find some graphics somewhere else on eBay, that are new or even remanufactured, it would be far better than the graphics having been there the first place, so that is also another incredible detail
We ship the same day as payment if possible and we ship very ultra carefully. If you’re worried about shipping being high, you should be more worried about your item, not being crushed by the barbaric mail system. on delicate items such as this, it will be necessary to double box this which will lead to a larger packaging size and of course a lot of bubble wrap. There is no inner packaging within this box. This is just the cardboard outside so that is one other detail, we should mention. If it typically came with Styrofoam that is not included. Everything that you see in the photos is included and nothing more and nothing less.
With our terrible packaging, it will arrive in the exact same condition that it left in.
The ghost that is supposed to be included in the package is not in the package. However, we have a large Ghostbuster collection of figurines. We are also selling in another. And if you see that particular ghost in the auction, I can update the other auction and include this with the ambulance, possibly if you are the winner, and you let me know very quickly in a matter of a very short time before either of these auctions get bids.
If the eBay shipping calculator is off and it frequently is, we will reimburse you for the extra shipping costs if it is a significant amount. If it’s only a couple dollars, we will put it towards our expense of bubble wrap, but if it is more money than that we will reimburse you without you having to email us
Good luck bidding if you would like to do the shipping calculations yourself the final double box will be approximately 21 x 15 x 16 and will probably weigh between 4 to 5 pounds. We will not chance a valuable item like this, to the hands of an angry postmaster, and if I put a fragile sticker on it, that is just more reason for them to try to crush it. Fragile stickers are the worst thing you can ever do if you send an item USPS, because they are very vindictive government employees paid to destroy our mail. For more fragile items like this we like to send them FedEx door delivery because they are much easier on the packaging.
There are also many different methods that we can use for shipping and we get shipping discounts from several different companies so we will try a variety of different alternatives to get this shipped as cost-effective as possible for you and as safely as possible.
If you have any other questions or would like any other photos, please message me and I can supply anything that you need regarding this auction. Also, please look for our other Ghostbusters auctions because we have several going on currently at the same time.
