THE FINE PRINT

We appreciate your interest in our auction. We take pride in our detailed listing information and photos; please view all photos and use the zoom feature – we take photos of several angles - look seriously at our listing and please ask any questions needed before buying. We reply to emails several times throughout the day. 

I dusted and wiped this item clean for photos but we are leaving any desired deep cleaning to the buyer’s discretion - to avoid any potential harm resulting from any cleaning products. 

 Returns: we offer a 30-day return policy for buyers who believe the item they receive does not match the item we described. Please respond to us within 30 days after receiving your shipment and we will work hard to rectify the situation. 

Please don’t ask for a refund if you merely didn’t read the listing before your purchase and when the item arrived, you realize it’s not what you wanted. If this is the case or you’ve just changed your mind about your purchase upon arrival, you will be responsible for return shipping costs. 

Shipping: we combine shipping so please view our other listings - if you decide to buy more than one of our items for sale, please wait for a combined shipping invoice before paying. 

Shipping charges are calculated according to your zip code. This way, you are never charged too much – the shipping cost you see is determined by the United States Postal Service. All items include a priority option or parcel post / first class option. Please select which option you’d like during the check out process. 

If, for any reason, we discover your shipping rate is lower than what you paid for during the check out process, we will issue a refund to your Paypal account for the difference and will notify you. 

We ship all items within 1 business day after payment; you will receive an email with tracking information. Every item we sell is shipped from a smoke free and pet free home. 

International shipping: We prefer to ship priority for international orders unless you contact us before paying. If you request first class mail rates, we can’t track your package during the shipping process and, therefore, you will be held responsible if the item is lost in the mail.

Condition: if this auction is for an item marked as used or vintage, please expect applicable wear and tear; it’s unreasonable to expect something used or vintage to look or operate like it’s brand new or even like-new.

If you use the buy it now option, please pay within 1 business day. If you are unable to do so, please at least email us regarding your circumstance. We are very understanding and patient sellers but we would at least like to know if you need extra time to pay. If we don’t hear from you or receive payment in the allotted time, we will be forced to open a case for non-payment.
