PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING

 BEFORE BIDDING !

NOTICE REGARDING THIS ITEM: I specialize in vintage items that are usually 50+ years old. It is important that you examine this item carefully before bidding. I welcome all questions.

While I try hard to get my description accurate, you must look at the pictures and remember that vintage is NOT new or mint. Unless otherwise stated, items WILL have age related wear. The older the item the more the wear! My buyers should be knowledgeable collectors looking for vintage! These are usually items that are no longer manufactured or available by retail. I buy at estate auctions, yard sales and antique stores and most items usually need to be cleaned.

I do not smoke, however the previous owner(s) might have. If you buy or collect vintage you must know that the items come from an era when the vast majority of Americans did smoke.

Most of my customers want items in their authentic condition which shows wear and proves age so I leave any cleaning other than dusting or superficial cleaning to the buyer's discretion. My items are sold in "as is" condition. I try to highlight any flaws over and above normal wear and tear but again, you must look at the pictures and please feel free to ask questions.

Returns and Refunds: As a matter of my store policy, I do not do partial refunds. I do however issue full refunds under certain conditions as follows:

1. Full Refunds in cases of damage or loss from shipping after carrier has approved the claim.  

2. Full Refunds if I have grossly misrepresented item and you have returned the item to me at your cost in the same condition that I shipped it. You must notify me of your request to return the item within 3 days of receiving the item and mail the item back to me within 7 days. I will not issue a refund until I receive the item back.

3. The buyer and I have agreed upon a refund. 

All return item shipping will be paid by the buyer per policy. This leaves both the buyer AND the seller out their shipping costs. You pay to return it and I have to pay out of pocket to ship it. We can avoid this in most cases with good communication and by asking your questions before buying!!!

Payment & Shipping: Payment is by Paypal and is expected within 4 days. I provide insurance on all shipping which is a few dollars extra and is included in the listed shipping cost. I package very carefully with bubble wrap and peanuts and ship quickly, usually in the first 24 hours.  I will combine shipping on any items bought from me, provided they are all shipped together at the same time. If you would like to know what the discounted combined shipping cost will be, again please remail me.

Feedback:  I ALWAYS leave positive feedback as soon as I ship an item. I very much appreciate positive feedback in return.

I have MANY happy repeat buyers and look forward to a pleasant and rewarding business transaction with you. I work hard to make this a positive experience for both buyers and sellers. Thanks for visiting my listing! Best Regards & Happy Shopping!
