AND NOW FOR ALL THE BOILERPLATE (just so we’re clear on terms):

My personal belief as a seller is that honesty is the best policy. I know that as a buyer on eBay (which I was for a long time before I became a seller) that truthfulness is the quality I most appreciate in a seller. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about any of my items or their condition and I will respond as soon as is humanly possible.

I guarantee my merchandise. If you buy it and then have a problem with it or don’t agree that it’s just as I’ve described it, please contact me. Unless your demands or expectations are just completely unreasonable, more than likely I will take it back and refund your money (that is the price of purchase). Like I said, I started out as a buyer on eBay, so I know what I like to expect from sellers and I try my darndest to provide that to my buyers.

FEEDBACK POLICY: I leave positive feedback for buyers when I'm paid. As far as I am concerned, as soon as a buyer pays, they’ve done everything they’re obliged to do, thank you very much. (Though, of course, I do appreciate having the favor returned in kind once the merchandise has been received and found to be satisfactory.)

SHIPPING POLICY: For this item, for U.S. buyers, I offer USPS Ground Advantage shipping and handling to any domestic (US) winning bidder based on your destination zip code (please see tables below); or, if you need it more promptly, Priority Mail (cost, again, based on destination zip code). I'll also do FREE local pick-up, if that's more convenient for you. For most buyers outside the U.S., I now ship via eBay’s international shipping services (please consult tables below for rates).

PLEASE NOTE: Unlike too many other sellers (in my experience, anyway), I SHIP FAST – oftentimes on the same day as the purchase (depending upon the time of day of the purchase). I also ship on Saturdays, if you make your purchase before noon. And, unlike too many sellers from whom I made my own purchases, when I say I ship, I don’t mean that I pack your item, print up a label and then just sit on it until it’s convenient for me to go to the post office. I mean that I actually take it there and get it into the box before pick-up time, or in the hands of a clerk or a carrier. You want your item ASAP, and I want you to get it ASAP. Simple as that.
