New York State bidders must add 8% sales tax to all purchases, or must mail or fax a completed Sales Tax Exemption form before I ship the item. Sales tax will be added automatically by Paypal and Ebay. Thank you.
Most items I sell are vintage or used, unless otherwise noted. Items that are new will have "NEW" in the description.
All items sold "as is" and are final sale.
I do my best to describe everything I see on an item, but please ask before bidding if you are unsure of anything.
The picture and description detail the entire item up for auction. If I do not describe and/or picture a part (such as a box or accessories) then it is not included in the auction.
I try to describe as much about the item as possible, but understand not every single detail may be described and vintage items are rarely mint. Use the description and the picture to get an understanding of the condition of the item. All measurements are approximate.
Ask questions if you have anything specific you wish to know I have not mentioned.
Bidding on this auction means you agree to the following terms:
MY SHIPPING TERMS:
Buyer will please remit auction total plus postage within 5 days. Shipping is usually by Priority Mail with delivery confirmation. Insurance will be added to fragile items for protection. All items I mail are carefully wrapped and boxed for protection, with adequate protective material (bubble wrap, packing peanuts or foam) added to the package.
Postage costs are based on where you live in relationship to me. If you want to know the postage cost before bidding, PLEASE use the "calculate shipping" box using your zip code and it will give you the cost to your home with delivery confirmation and a handling fee of $.75 for packing materials. You are paying for exact shipping cost (item is packed and weighed prior to listing so weight is accurate) plus the small fee of $.75 to cover tissue paper, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, packing tape and paper and glue for the address label and gas to the post office- all of which I have to pay for! I do not profit from the shipping cost you are paying, USPS, the gas station and the companies I purchase packing materials from are getting the shipping charge you are paying, not me! y to prevent loss in case of damage in transit. The post office sadly does occasionally play football with a box, and no matter how careful the packing, an item can get damaged.
When using PayPal payments your items are shipped out the day after they payment is received. I ship every day except Sunday so you will get your item quickly.
PAYPAL USERS!
My account is set up to only accept payments from those with confirmed addresses. Item will be sent to the Paypal confirmed address on your account.
I am sorry, I am not accepting bids at this time if you live out of the US. Please don't email and ask. Answer will be no.
Per eBay rules, I do not end auctions early so you can buy the item off eBay, nor do I "make deals" on unsold items after the auction ends.
Thanks for looking and for bidding! Good Luck!
