Condition Comments Condition "ratings" for antique, vintage, surplus, out of production and collectible items are highly subjective, but I try to describe any flaws or damage in as much detail as possible. Item Condition is rated from 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst (Poor) and 10 being the best (New, Like New, Unissued or Mint). I try to use close up photos/scans of the ACTUAL ITEMS being offered for sale whenever possible. Any "stock" photos used will be identified as such above. Potential buyers should study all descriptions and photos carefully and ask any questions before bidding/purchasing items. Payment Bidding or purchasing using "Buy It Now" option constitutes acceptance of all terms and disclosures contained in this listing and is considered a binding contract in most US jurisdictions. Per ebay policy, full payment must be received within 48 hours of auction closing. If your payment is not received within 48, ebay will AUTOMATICALLY open an Unpaid Item Case and item(s) may be relisted. Paypal is currently the ONLY form of payment which I will accept because it offers the greatest protection for both Buyers and Sellers. Since most of my items are antique, vintage, out of production or otherwise unique, ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS. NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS are offered unless items differ significantly from the description above. If there is a problem with your purchase, then please contact me immediately via ebay Messages BEFORE contacting ebay. Initiating any form of return request through ebay severly limits a Seller's available options to resolve Buyer's issues. If items are damaged in transit by shipping agent, then any refund or partial refund must be obtained via shipping agent's claims process. I will handle all of the details for submitting a claim for you to ensure the greatest likelihood of success, but the process typically takes 10-21 days.

The Flat Rate Shipping Amount listed above includes all shipping & insurance costs plus a nominal fee to help defray the material, labor and fuel costs of packing and transporting items to the shipping agent.
