TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

  • Please know what you're bidding on and whether it's compatible with what you want or with what you operate. 
  • Read the ENTIRE written description and look at ALL the photos BEFORE you bid. 
  • Don't expect to get something that works or runs when the written description says it does not run or has not been tested. 
  • Please don't complain about the shipping charges AFTER you purchase an item. If you don't like the shipping cost then DON'T BID ON THE ITEM.
  • Ebay does not protect it's sellers sufficiently from buyers who violate Ebay policies, including those buyers who post poor feedback for the seller. I have tons of great customers. But to those who post poor feedback for me who don't read descriptions or who don't know what they're buying, you will be BLOCKED from my auctions permanently. Non-paying buyers will also be blocked. 
  • In an effort to be fair to all bidders, I do not end auction-style listings early including based on Buy it Now offers or requests from buyers. 
  • Please ask any questions at least 24 hours before the close of the auction.
  • I strive to be customer friendly. If you have an issue with your item please contact me before involving Ebay, and I will do my best to resolve the situation to your satisfaction. 
Description:  Marx O-gauge grey Mercury 0-4-0 electric illuminated steam loco with grey-painted side-plates, and a prewar motor with 3-piece pick-up assembly. Goes with a Marx prewar articulated Mercury passenger set. There may be an irregularly-shaped shadow in some of the photos that is the result of some issue with my camera. It is not showing a stain or something like a stain on the loco itself. The wire hand-rails and the stack insert look original to me. There is just a few scattered spots of light crazing, a little bit of darkening, and moderate to heavy flaking to the paint as shown in the photos. The decal on the nose is mostly intact with a few missing pieces. Call it VG or so condition-wise.  The wheels on the motor turn freely and smoothly. I can't see any broken teeth or cogs on the motor or the wheels, but the loco was not tested and is not guaranteed to work. Sold as is.   

Shipping: The shipping quoted is for Canada and the Continental US only. Buyers from other locations should contact m prior to the end of the sale to get a shipping estimate. I will always combine shipping if you purchase multiple lots.

Returns: I will gladly refund your money if I make a mistake in describing something. But please make sure you really want the item before you bid. I do not give returns if a buyer simply changes his or her mind, deciding after the fact that they don't want an item.  EBAY'S AUTOMATIC RETURN POLICY IS UNFAIR TO SELLERS, SO PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU RETURN AN ITEM SO WE CAN TRY TO AGREE ON A WAY TO FIX THINGS. I will accept returns but just want to hear from the buyer before the item is returned to me. If a a buyer automatically returns an item without first contacting me, that buyer will be blocked from bidding on my items in the future.  

Be sure to keep watching as I have many Marx trains and other trains and toys coming up for sale this Winter and upcoming Spring.
