Bidders, please read the following "fine print":

Payment is expected within 3 days. We sell estate items on consignment, so we cannot afford to offer free shipping.  Shipping, as listed, reflects the actual cost of shipping plus handling fees.  Please do not ask us to reduce the shipping fees, however, we will combine multiple items for a reduced shipping fee if possible.  We reserve the right to revise the shipping to charge more for large or heavy items when the destination state is west of the Mississippi such as California, also Florida & Texas, Alaska & Hawaii.  

Please note that: 1) USPS rates have increased and 2) due to new U.S. Postal Service policy regarding delivery service, implemented October 1, 2021, items may require a longer time to reach their destination.  Please consider this when making a purchase that you need as a gift or in a timely manner.
