Rare find. Fragile as some parts are easily damaged. You must agree to accept AS IS, as no returns are offered. Packed well and insured. Please read the entire post. By buying you agree to the terms below.

Local Pickup or the car will only be shipped if you agree to accept it in the condition it arrives. Small damages could happen. Insurance will be purchases and typically can assist with recovering up to $100. Even if it is not damaged, by the time you unpack it and place it on the shelf, there is a chance of accidental damage. Repairs are usually easy with a drop of superglue. I do not see any signs of repairs, except as listed below. Still, I am not examining these with a magnifying glass and could miss something. If you have a styrofoam case, you can ship it to me and I can use it for shipping. Please inquire.

This is an extremely delicate model with small parts. It is commonly known that Franklin Mint bikes & cars are very fragile. The buyers are usually acceptable to the notion that a small repair might have to be performed. 
I will pack securely in bubble wrap and carton box. However, further minimal damage could occur during the shipment or especially while unpacking. You may need to reattach or glue a wire or a small part. If you are looking for a perfect 100% bike/car, please be aware that I can only guarantee that it will be as described when it is packed and shipped. I accept no returns. If it arrives damaged you will need to file claim with the carrier. I will provide insurance details.

The asking price & acceptable offer reflects the above comments.

Shipped quickly with Tracking, Insurance and Confirmation. Pickup in King of Prussia Mall and you can examine it and also save on shipping.

Shipping to PO Boxes via USPS only. Please provide street address for FedEx services. Shipping cost includes actual shipping cost, insurance, packing time and materials. Please note that for each $1 you pay for shipping, only approx. 87c is passed to the seller, as Ebay & PayPal collect 13% commission even on your payment for shipping.

All items are photographed before shipping.

All International buyers are responsible for the fees and charges incurred by their country .

International shipping is done via Ebay Global Shipping program. Please make sure to select it, as If I need to ship myself outside of US, there will be a noticeably high cost that reflects USPS Express Shipping (when available) and additional time for packing and paperwork. 
However, I was told that EBAY global shipping partner often opens and inspects the packages. They will not package items back the same secure way I did. Please contact me if you need photos in case of any issues.

I have 50+ Franklin Mint Harley Davidson bikes, 3 banks, and 20+ pocket watches from the estate of a serious collector. The bikes are 1:10 scale. I have nearly all of the FM bikes. Unfortunately, 65% with no boxes and can't be shipped safely. And they were displayed. The rest was kept in the boxes. Message me if you are looking for something specific. Local pickup gets top priority and best price.
