Banknote Grade Definitions:

Good

A heavily circulated note with characteristics similar to Very Good except with more pronounced soiling and considerable wear and tear. Corners of the note may also be missing.

Very Good

An obviously well-circulated bank note with much creasing, folding and wrinkling noticeable. Note may be dirty, and corners may show much wear and rounding, and some tears may be present, though no pieces of the note should be missing.

Fine

Considerable circulation is apparent, with creases, folds and wrinkles visible, and most, if not all, of the crispness is gone. Edges show evidence of circulation, and there may be slight tears. Some fading of color noticeable, with some staining possible.

Very Fine

Still an attractive note, but with more pronounced wear from handling, though some crispness remains. May have several vertical and horizontal folds as well as slight dirt or smudging visible. No tears on the edges, though the corners aren’t as sharp as Uncirculated.

Extra Fine

Paper is clean and bright with original sheen. Light handling is apparent, with several light folds or one strong crease visible. Tears and stains are not present.

About Uncirculated

A note that at first glance might appear as Uncirculated, but closer examination discloses the slightest signs of handling, some minor corner folds, a light (not hard) crease, a slight finger smudge or some pinholes. Paper is still crisp and bright and has original sheen.

Crisp Uncirculated

A note that has not been released into circulation and is in the same condition as it was first produced. The paper must be firm and crisp, without any creases, folds or tears, and the corners must be sharp and square

U.S. Buyer pays the postage cost shown in the shipping calculator below. Many, but not all, banknote listings will have two shipping options available. The more expensive option is for extra secure and protective thick, rigid, rain and moisture resistant USPS First Class Package Shipping, which allows tracking both on the USPS website and in your eBay purchase history. The second less expensive option is for eBay Standard envelope shipping with the note placed in a protective semi-rigid plastic top loader sleeve placed into a standard envelope (if you do not see this least expensive service on another of my banknote listings, just ask and I will be happy to add that shipping service, if possible). This second service level allows up to three banknotes with a maximum combined value of no more than $20 shipped together, and these letters can be tracked through your eBay purchase history but NOT through the USPS website. With either service it is then just $1.00 additional shipping cost for a second note purchased, and then only $.50 more for each additional note shipped with this one to the same address. To qualify for this combined shipping offer, all items should close on the same day and all must be paid for together in the same single payment through eBay, so be sure to request a new total from seller before remitting payment if you win more than one item!

HELLO! EACH EBAY SELLER HAS THEIR OWN UNIQUE TERMS OF SALE, SO PLEASE TAKE JUST A MOMENT TO READ THIS LISTING PAGE. REMEMBER, BY PURCHASING OR PLACING A BID YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS IN ADVANCE. THANK YOU!

GENERAL INFORMATION: Please note that my thousands of listed items come from many different sources. While ours is a smoke, furred and feathered pet-free home, some items may have come from homes or businesses with smokers and/or pets. If you are very sensitive to these issues, please contact me before bidding on an item.

All items are guaranteed to be as described and to arrive in that same condition. However, because I offer many different kinds of items, many in used and/or vintage condition, including vintage photographic, electrical and electronic components and equipment, all items are sold without additional or extended warranty of any kind.

SHIPPING CHARGES & SCHEDULE: Sellers are ONLY allowed to ship items to the address provided to us by eBay with your payment. Be certain to have the correct address listed BEFORE you remit payment. Please do NOT ask me to ship to a different address.

The auction winner or purchaser will pay the shipping charges as shown in the eBay shipping calculator on the listing page. All items shipped through the USPS now include Package Tracking for your convenience.

I ship at least twice each week, normally on Wednesday and Friday (subject to change for occasional holidays, vacations, family obligations, etc.). Your payment must be received and processed before 9AM Pacific Time on a shipping day to ship that same day. Because of this twice weekly shipping schedule, I am not normally able to offer rush next day or expedited shipping, but you may certainly ask to upgrade your shipping to a faster shipping method at additional cost if you need to receive an item quickly.

USPS SHIPPING TIMES: PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME CARRIERS ARE EXPERIENCING DELAYS IN SHIPPING TIMES. PLEASE BE EXTRA PATIENT DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME FOR BOTH BUYERS AND SELLERS, ESPECIALLY WITH USPS MEDIA MAIL AND FIRST CLASS PACKAGE MAIL, WHICH IS SOMETIMES TAKING FOUR WEEKS OR MORE IN TRANSIT. Please understand that no seller has any control over carrier shipping times, and that the Expected Delivery date provided by eBay is just their estimate based on normal average shipping times. Allow the following shipping times depending upon your distance from CA 92025 and the shipping method for which you selected and/or paid: USPS First Class Package Mail averages 1-5 business days, but can sometimes take up to four weeks. USPS Priority Mail averages 1-3 business-days, but can take up to two weeks. USPS Media Mail averages 3-10 business-days, but can sometimes take over one month. Seasonally, especially during the Holiday Season, the mails can take even longer. Please do not give any seller that ships promptly less than a five-star rating because of slow USPS shipping and delivery times.

PAYMENT & SALES TAX: I accept all of the payment methods offered by eBay Managed Payments. Note that laws now require eBay to collect state sales tax for most states. All sales are considered final.

CANADIAN & INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: Sorry, due to too many delivery issues, I no longer ship items internationally.

EMAIL NOTICES, QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK: Please try to email any questions at least 48 hours before the end of the listing to allow me time to respond. eBay will send you a dated confirmation of your payment to me and I will ship your item the very next twice weekly shipping day after receipt of your cleared payment. Please rest assured that I will always attempt to ship exactly as described in these terms, your acceptance of which is a binding condition of bidding on my listings. eBay now automatically leaves you positive feedback after they see that you have feedback for me. Thank you very much!
