I always have fun vintage items on auction and will gladly combine shipping so please check out my other auctions.
Payment is expected within 48 hours unless you have notified me in advance. Please make sure you can follow through with your bid.  Nonpaying bidders are automatically reported.  Not that this warning stops the wrong do’ers, but please think before you bid. Strikes against your account affect your ability to place more bids on items and could lead to your account being suspended.  Do the right thing and always pay for your wins.
As are almost ALL items we sell, this item is sold in used vintage condition which means by nature it is not perfect as it is a pre-owned and will show signs of wear, use, and age. It is not in new condition nor is it mint
.
We do not clean, repair, or polish items, we sell them as we find them. It is sold 'as is.' We work VERY HARD to describe each item in detail, including its imperfections. Our assessment of condition may differ from yours, this is the nature of buying something online/through the mail. Please ask questions prior to bidding (not after) as we conduct true auctions where sales are final, no returns, no refunds, no partial refunds or returns.
Please note that the shipping quote is for the lower 48 states only.
Other locations will have a shipping adjustment if actual shipping is over a few dollars

Please don’t hesitate to email me any questions.
Let's keep everything simple please -- if you have a problem with something we send you, email us immediately -- within 24 hours of receipt as evidenced by USPS tracking -- in a COURTEOUS and PROFESSIONAL manner (which we will reciprocate), so we can reach a mutually agreeable resolution.

We do not ever refund for buyer's remorse, or for loss/damage in transit (that's what insurance is for), no exceptions. In the event a postal claim needs to be filed it is the BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY. Refund will come from USPS, not us. We do not sell 'on approval.' So please be sure of your bid.
