We've sold a few of these garden seeders over the years, but not seen one as nice as this with nicely defined graphics. Most of these seeders were heavily used and lost definition to graphics and had much more wear to parts. Great collectible. It has moderate wear from age, but overall really nice.
We ship with extreme care! 7% Sales tax is for Indiana residents only. Of course there is free local pick up and we can meet to assist if you are near Indianapolis or driving through. We do this often. We require signature confirmation on most items above $100, unless you request otherwise. Also, we have discounts with FedEx & eBay on shipping which do not always show up in eBay estimates on shipping. We try to refund what we can when there is a notable difference, but we do not know until we actually process the shipping order. |
