Hess Helicopter & Cruiser, 2001, working & played with condition, may have flaws, see below

What you see in the picture is exactly what you will receive: 2001 Hess Helicopter model with Cruiser, both were tested and are in working condition.  My son was gifted several of these trucks, they were not shelved and collected, they were played with.  There may be flaws including minor breaks, scuffs or scratches, stains or discoloration.  This set has yellowed from age, the motorcycle from the set is missing.  This post is for the 2001 helicopter set ONLY, first photo shows the set you will receive.  The second photo is included to show the entire collection I have for sale.

I have several Hess trucks from my sons collection.  These are all one owner items but they are all in played-with condition.  Flaws may be present and I will point out any major or highly noticeable flaws that I find, but things like scuffs, scratches or wear should be expected since these were used as toys and not collectibles.  I will also be selling two from 2002, 2006, 2000 and 2003.  Selling separately or as a lot.

Thanks and enjoy

• Payment is appreciated within three days, after one week of non-payment ebay will be notified and a case will be opened unless an arrangement is made between us.

• Clothing: all clothing will arrive clean and will be inspected for flaws prior to shipping.  Dry-clean only items will not be cleaned ahead of time.

• Smoke Free home and cat friendly:  We have cats but try to keep them away from sale items, severe allergies should know that there may be a stray hair though.

• Recycle:  To help reduce and recycle I reuse mailing bags and boxes, I take care that they are in fully functioning, usable and in clean condition.

• Refunds and Returns:  If I have made a mistake in a listing I will offer reimbursement or return, otherwise strict no-return policy due to the time I put into each listing with accurate measurements and photos, but if you are unhappy with a purchase let me know and we can see if we can work something out.  Postage is a non-refundable charge once the item ships.

• Shipping:  I try to ship within 2 days of payment but sometimes I can ship faster if you need me to.  Larger items may take longer but never more than 4 days after payment.  The shipping charges are calculated by the USPS and are beyond my control.  If the price seems high I can check for a lower rate but I can't guarantee I'll find one, and I always try to combine and reduce shipping on multiple purchases.

• International:  Due to the high cost of global shipping and longer handling times the international buyer assumes all risk for loss or damage once the package leaves the US.  Tracking is always provided but international shipping does not always provide door-to-door tracking.  Any delays, damage, loss or additional customs fees are beyond my control and the international buyer must assume this risk fully, additionally international shipping charges are non-refundable once the package ships.

• Be nice to your ebayer:  I work hard to provide sought after items at good prices, but sometimes things happen.  Before leaving negative or even neutral feedback please talk with me to see if we can work out the problem.  Also remember that this is my business and part of my family's livelihood, please don't slam my business for something beyond my control.  And before you leave anyone negative or neutral feedback, or anything less than '5 stars' find out how ebay uses these ratings:  

When you rate an eBay business with a 1 or a 2 star rating in any category this mark stays on the sellers record and is calculated into the performance rating for an entire year.  A business with too many of these marks gets their items listed lower in search results which has a direct affect on sales, they do not get to participate in sales promotions, they sometimes have selling restrictions put into place for their business and occasionally their funds are held.  The worst part is once the low rating is received there is really nothing a seller can do to correct upon or remove those low scores.

Thank you and keep checking back for new items.
