4. If an item works (electronics, clocks, items with moving parts, ect) we will clearly state that in our ad. Some of our ads will say “We can’t guarantee this item works, but we can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t”.

6. We sale postcards in large lots on a fairly routine basis. We cannot except or entertain requests for returns for any reason on lots of postcards. We cannot record every single card in every lot thererfore if we excepted returns, that opens us up to the possibility that someone could buy a big lot, remove just the cards they wanted and return the rest for a full return. So if you have any questions about postcards, please ask. And again, keep in mind that my antique postcards are very old and made of paper. We try to separate badly damaged postcards from my lots but given their age, there may be writing, blemishes, bent corners, writing, creases, small tears, ect. We separate and photograph the postcards we sell into groups of like subjects to get the most out of the limited photos in our ads. It is a random selection and represent a general idea of what cards the lots contains. We do not intentionally photograph any specific cards, good or bad.
