PLEASE NOTE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING BEFORE offerDING:I pack my items very well and I do not skimp on packaging materials. I use plenty of bubble wrap if needed and plenty of shipping peanuts. I generally ship within 1 day of receiving payment, sometimes the same day.PLEASE make sure you ask questions, do your own research if necessary, and fully understand what you are offerding on BEFORE offerDING. You may have “buyer\'s remorse” before you even get an item in the mail. I\'d rather have my item go unsold than to sell to someone who is going to be completely unhappy.I usually leave positive response very soon after payment, and I try to let you know when I have shipped, right in your response. I\'d appreciate your positive response in return!I do as much research as I can on my items, but I am not an expert in all fields. Many of the items I sell are vintage, vintage means that the item is from a previous era and probably has some use or wear by a previous owner. If you are concerned by an item\'s condition, and you don\'t feel that I have described the condition in enough detail, please ask questions BEFORE offerDING.Buyer pays shipping. Paypal is accepted payment, within 48 hours of sale\'s end, the sooner you pay for your item, the sooner I can ship it to you. Please use a confirmed address if possible. I combine shipping when it is possible, so please take a look at my other sales.I reserve the right to cancel offers from potential buyers who have a zero response rating, or from those who have several recent negative responses.I believe in win-win selling/buying. Check my response. Most of my sales are positive experiences for my customers and myself. I try hard to describe my items, pointing out both positive and negative aspects. I will reimburse an unsatisfied customer IF my item is grossly misrepresented, otherwise NO REFUNDS, NO RETURNS, so please ASK QUESTIONS EARLY if there is something you want to know that I haven\'t remembered to point out. THANKS!
