IMPORTANT!!! A few things about me and my listings for art pieces. I am in no way an expert or claim to be one. Whether you believe it or not my interest started from Traditional Japanese razors (Kamisoris) and Natural Sharpening stones (Toishi) and quickly expanded to anything Japanese related really and absolutely fell in love it! Then expanded to Chinese art pieces as well. I am registered with over 100 auction houses here in the U.K. and this is where I source these items that I offer, alongside a select few that I source here on eBay. I have learnt the hard way, how auction houses can give wrong and in many cases deceitful descriptions. Hence ,I have sought the expertise of a Native Japanese speaking Accredited Art Appraiser with nearly 3 decades of experience. He visits me every few months (I am sorry I cannot afford more frequent visits) and advises me on my collection and new acquisitions. I use his guidance alongside the description of accredited auctioneers to describe my lots and in line with similar known examples. Of course mistakes can occur and I will take full responsibility if that happens. If you are qualified to do so and you spot an alleged error in my listing, then please let me know. BUT, you have to be in a position to do so, i.e. you are a Certified Art Appraiser registered with an Appropriate Body or an Accredited Auctioneer in Art and have professional knowledge. If that is the case then please kindly introduce yourself to me and inform me of this error. According to the severity of the error, I will either make changes or delist the item. However, if you are just another "dealer" or a self proclaimed "expert" and you know everything better than me and can outperform me and my Art Appraiser in every simple possible way (OF COURSE YOU CAN!!!), then I would like to state that your "expertise" is neither requested nor is welcome! I guess my "expertise" about Trident is not needed by the British Government... Please fell free to follow eBay's procedure and report my item as "fake" , "Replica" or whatever else you think. I will be more than happy to provide evidences of it being a genuine item or of an age described. Every item I offer can be successfully linked with an item sold by an accredited U.K. auctioneer with a relevant invoice, or if it is eBay sourced a similar example auctioned. If , however, and despite this notice you message me and you try to "teach "me and prove your superior knowledge , then I would like to let you know that I have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY on nonsense! You will be reported to eBay and face the consequences , which may include suspension of your account. The eBay marketplace is NOT the place to get feisty or pursuit your own hidden agenda!
Terms and conditions of sale
Payment: eBay now manages my payments, so you have a choice of payment methods. Payment within 72 hours of the sale please. If you cannot meet this deadline please consult with me prior to bidding so I can agree to that, subject to a valid reason being present and good track record on eBay. Any other purchases that haven't been paid within 72 hours will be reported to eBay and an unpaid item case will be opened. No exceptions at all!
Shipping: I will ship the item as soon as possible but it may take up to 3 business days. Please inform me prior to bidding if you need the item any sooner. I will try my best to accommodate your need. For customers outside the UK, this item will be shipped via eBay's Global Shipping Programme. This means I will send it to the UK centre and after that eBay will do the rest. They will take care of the taxes due and charge you for them alongside their shipping fee. You will get the exact added amount at the checkout. I don't have any control over those charges. They will also be responsible for any damage during the transportation. The item will arrive to you without any further action needed from your side.
Returns: Under normal circumstances, I will not be accepting any returns. However, if the item was misdescribed and it was my fault then I will accept returns. I will pay for the return postage and also cover the original shipping fee. But let me clearly state what I mean by that! You have to prove to me that my lot has been misdescribed. Just because you THINK or even better the person running your local shop selling "The Sun" alongside chocolates has "deemed" one of my items as "Fake" , "Replica" or whatever else, that doesn't mean I will accept your request! You have to prove that my photos haven't depicted the item correctly or have an accredited person (such as one I have described above) after physical inspection (per industry standards) to deem an item as of "inappropriate" description (for whatever reason really including wrong dating on a genuine item). Then I will be more than happy to accept returns and this is my guarantee to any person buying art pieces from me , even after years of the original sale. I keep detailed records and I am in position to know.
By buying this item you AGREE to the terms and conditions of this sale. If you disagree with ANY of the above, then please REFRAIN from buying this item!
