GENERAL

I will not accept bids from outside the UK and my items are not listed to be visible overseas.  Too much past trouble with overseas buyers and postal services.

You are looking at, and hopefully considering bidding for, the model or model parts described in the listing title and information.  Many thanks for your interest and good luck in your bidding.

I'm selling off most of my model stash for genuine reasons.  I've bought far more stuff than I will ever be able to build and it's time to be thoroughly ruthless.

I used to be on eBay under another account name - Dasabteilung - but had to open a new one after some hacking problems.  Some of you may have bought from me before.

PAYMENT

I only accept payment by PayPal and will only ship to the address provided by eBay.

I reserve the right to cancel any sale and re-list any items if payment is not made within 5 days of the auction ending.  An Unpaid Item case may be raised with eBay. 

If you win an item and are waiting to bid on others before paying, please let me know.  Also, please don't pay for multiple items until I've invoiced you with the shipping cost: it saves on refunds.

CONDITION

Where items are listed as "new" then they are either new and unopened or have only been opened for inspection and not touched.

Where items are listed as "used" and noted as "pre-owned" then they are as-new but not necessarily in pristine as-new condition.  Tatty boxes, opened internal packaging, etc.  But all of the contents have been inspected and are fine.

I have identified where there is anything wrong with the items that I am aware of, such as incomplete or broken parts, parts off sprues etc.  Anything not in original packaging is clearly stated to be so.

SHIPPING

I do not ship outside the UK.

Shipping is expensive, and only ever seems to get more so.  Sadly, there is nothing I can do about that.  I will of course combine shipping as economically as I can if you win more than 1 item.

Where I can recycle packaging I do, but sometimes I need to buy suitable packaging and of course I must charge for that.  But the one thing I absolutely don't do is use shipping costs to make an extra buck.

For my own convenience I use UK Royal Mail or Parcelforce for shipping.  Royal Mail is better for small items up to 2kg.  Parcelforce is always tracked and insured, but this is an option for Royal Mail.  For items where the likely value exceeds the £46 Royal Mail value limit I've offered the option of their tracked and insured service.

I will send items by cheaper methods if you wish, and I have offered these also: but you will carry the risk of damage or loss. Because Royal Mail First Class is not insured, I cannot entertain any claims for loss or damage if you choose those services.  If I ship by a tracked service, I will send you the tracking number.

I will package items as well as I can to minimise the potential for damage in transit.  Boxes add to the shipping cost but do of course offer better protection than bubble wrap.  If you are happy to take the risk with bubble wrap to save on shipping costs, please ask.  Happy for you to collect in person or to arrange your own collection.

future listings

I will be listing other items, mostly 1/35 military, over the next few weeks.  There are over 600 individual items to get through, so it will take me a few weeks to list them all.  Some of these may be parts and accessories for the kits I am listing here.  So please do keep your eyes open for my future listings.
