Disclaimer -
Many vintage toys, and their parts, often suffer from discoloring/spots due
to age, or exposure to the elements. I do my best to show
pictures in natural lighting, if possible, though sometimes a flash is
necessary to show other aspects of a particular item. If you're purchasing
parts to complete your item, please understand that they may not match
(color-wise) exactly. If an item has slight discoloration (personal estimation), I
may not even notice it. If it's significant, I'll be sure to point it
out. If you're looking for a perfect match, it's best to buy the item
complete. Even then, there's no guarantee, but that's your best chance
to ensure they're a perfect match.
Description - This
auction is for the exact vintage
item/s pictured. It's a Mego Phaser for a 12" Star Trek figure. It's still sealed in its original bag that they came in the box with. Great for someone who has a boxed figure missing the phaser. Item/s
were made in the 70's and/or 80's. Item/s have
been used unless otherwise stated. Item/s likely show play wear.
Payments
are due within 7 days. If you need extra time, please communicate that
with me. If you choose to no longer respond, appropriate actions will be
taken so that I can recover my fees.
See paragraph below for combined shipping terms.
I do combine shipping -
I often can combine shipping at no additional costs to the buyer as
long as the buyer waits for a combined invoice. If you're interested in
buying multiple items listed via fixed price, you'll likely have to add
them to your cart before purchasing, and then asking for a combined
shipping total. If it forces you to pay for shipping on each item after
all of the items have been added to your cart, I'll refund the
difference. If you pay for each item separately, eBay charges .30 per
transaction, plus additional fees, so I'll have to subtract .30 per item
purchased before offering the refund for the difference.
Shipping Costs -
My shipping costs are determined by actual USPS costs, plus the cost of
materials used to ship. Those include boxes, zip-loc bags, bubble wrap,
tape, printer ink & paper (my labels are printed from home), etc...
These materials are not free. I recycle materials when I find the
opportunity, but understand that shipping costs are as accurate as I can
determine, and non-negotiable so if you are not 100% happy with the
charges, please move on to other auctions.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS -
If you're interested in multiple items that I have listed, please
contact me before buying to help me ensure that I can combine shipping
costs for you. If an item is purchased and the GSP is selected as the
only means of shipping, I cannot control any part of combining shipping
costs as that part of the transaction is solely taken care of by eBay.
Grading is subjective.
I call nothing out of the package Mint for what
it's worth as it's likely been articulated at the very least. Below is a
general guide to how I grade, or classify, items that I am selling.
NM (near mint) - If an item barely has any paint wear, if any, and the limbs are
very firm-to-tight (none are floppy and all easily hold a pose). The item likely displays as if it just came
out of the package, but may have some very light play wear.
EX (excellent) -
Something that, at first glance, appears to have just have been pulled
off the card. Still nearly flawless paint, but may have a limb, or two,
with some ease of motion. All limbs would still hold all poses easily
though. There may be a little more paint loss, but typically nothing
that really draws your attention to the wear.
VG (very good) - Something that shows a little more paint
wear & shows signs of more play wear (such as limbs that are
slightly looser, but still pretty firm and generally hold a pose easily). I may also
call an item VG if it has one loose limb, but the others are
tight and the paint is nearly flawless. If you have specific
concerns/questions about a figure, feel free to ask. They will still be is very good displayable condition.
G (good) - Shows
some fairly obvious signs of play wear, but still have some life left
in them. Most will still be good for display, they just will show some
signs of wear. They may have firm-to-tight limbs, but some decent paint
wear, or next to no paint wear but fairly loose limbs that may even
require a stand as it may not do so on its own.
Fair - looks
like a well loved toy. Still, nothing broken though. Cool for dioramas
or fillers in sets, likely to be upgraded over time. Could be used for
customs after a few touch ups are performed. Cool for affordable toys
for children. Still have some battles left in them, but the next tour is
likely their last.
Poor (aka beater) - Customs only. May
be broken. Probably some floppy limbs. Time to consider trading in the
lightsaber for a coffin. They may literally be on their last leg.
This is my business account. I mostly sell items
for other people here so I'm not always able to combine sales with my personal account sales.
