We require that all potential buyers read our 'FAQ and Terms of Sale' section, at the bottom of each listing, prior to purchase, offer or bid placement and inquiries.
FAQ & Terms of Sale:
* Artifact Inquiries: Please submit all questions regarding listed artifacts, prior to purchase or bid placement, and allow at least 24 hours for a response. Write in anytime with all other questions or special artifact requests. We will try to locate any specific type of spaceflight hardware that you are interested in purchasing.
* Artifact Provenance: Artifacts that include provenance (or any documents, original receipts, part tags, certificate of authenticity / COA, etc) in the sale will specify this in the listing's written description and will be shown in the listing photos. If any of this type of provenance/paperwork is not shown in the photos and specified as "included" in the listing, then it is not available or included in the sale.
* Artifact Flight Status: FLOWN Hardware = Spacecraft hardware/components, crew equipment, scientific instruments, or other items/materials that have been flown. FLIGHT Hardware = Spacecraft flight-qualified spares or backup hardware/components and engineering test articles made of the same components as the flight article. These are items that could have flown but were not flown. Ground Support Equipment (GSE) = Non-flight space program hardware, equipment, and scientific Instruments used in direct association with the spacecraft, spacecraft engineers, and technicians. These are items that were used and made for ground support that may or may not have been in direct contact with the spacecraft prior to launch.
* All items listed here are being sold as collectible artifacts only, and although they may be in perfect working order, we are not able to test them for functionality.
* International Customers: Most artifacts will ship internationally. If the international shipping cost is not shown in the listing, please send a message requesting the rate.
