A great selection of snow domes, being offered at a reasonable starting price.
About half
the domes (mainly the stuff in poor shape) come from an old collection I bought a
few years back, and most of the remainder from a visit in 1993-94, so they are
predominantly 20-30 years old or more.
I expect they would be getting harder to find individually and represent
great value.
The CAN$ and U$ are both rising against Australian currency so now is the time to be considering this purchase. Postage is calculated for each set, based on a very safely packed box. There are considerable postage savings to be made if you buy more than one part. They’ll come to you during the northern summer, so no fretting about them freezing and bursting in transit.

The fine print
I am happy to take any questions on items or to provide additional info or pics before the sale closes if you need them to make up your mind. I make the effort to research items before they are put up for sale, but this is only as good as my sources. If you think I have misidentified or misrepresented any item, then please get in touch.
Please take note of any condition statements in the description - I will only refund on fresh damage (I take pics of everything before it is boxed). A 'used' item will have had a previous life and you should expect some scuffing, fading or use wear, but I will note any specific damage, and some of these have significant visual damage or even breakage. Condition is factored into the offer price. Returns are at buyer expense.
I am a collector myself so I have strong opinions about how fragile items should be sent through the post. Your item will be securely packaged, and this might mean choosing slightly larger or sturdier packaging, but I figure you'd rather that than the alternative.
For snow domes, if there is an accessible plug I will remove most of the water if it can be easily refilled. This will reduce weight and is safer all round for the dome, the postie and you if freezing in transit is a risk.
My default is international standard express or equivalent, but you have a collectible itch that needs scratching NOW, just tell me and we'll investigate sooper-dooper double deluxe express posting.
For me this is not a business. I have collected stuff for a long time and EBay is a great way to recirculate things to other collectors in a safe and reliable way. I hope you find the experience a good one. If you do, please leave a positive review. And I welcome useful criticism or suggestions how to improve the service.
