Sold As Is Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Thank you for your interest in my listed item. By looking at my “store” you can see, I sell a variety of items. Please read further to see details on this item. If you have any questions about any of my items, please email before purchasing. PLEASE READ LISTING FULLY & VIEW ALL POSTED IMAGES CLOSELY. Images posted represent the condition of the item. I do my best to describe things accurately in the condition section and post clear pictures of the item, however at times I might miss something. Please note: It Is Very Important to Note, that most of my items I sell unless stated otherwise are used and preowned. Please take that into consideration when thinking of purchasing. Since most of these items were not owned by me, I do not know their history - for example I do not know if they came from a smoke and / or pet free environment. Regarding Shipping: In most cases items are shipped USPS Priority or Ground Advantage based on calculated shipping. When possible, I use a flat rate envelope (usually padded) from USPS. Most times books and other media are shipped via MEDIA MAIL. On rare times I might use FEDEX or UPS. I will combine shipping if asked and if possible. I take a good amount time to pack my items carefully, so they arrive in the condition they were when shipped. International Shipping is only via eBay Global Shipping Program. Some items I do not make available for international shipping. If you would want your items to ship any other way, please let me know. In most cases there is no local pick-up or local delivery whatsoever. Please Note: Concerning packing material, I use mostly bubble wrap and some newspaper / packing paper and maybe an added piece of cardboard for protection of the many fragile items I sell. All the bubble wrap, shipping boxes and envelopes I buy new. (A few times maybe I will use a used box). USPS Boxes I get via USPS. I take special care in how my items are packed and how the package looks when shipped. Dishes / Mugs, Cups (fragile, metal or plastic) / Glassware / Bowls / Platters, plates, or similar items: Please hand clean very thoroughly (unless it is noted it can also be put in a dishwasher) when received. Outside bottom of item(s) might be discolored and / or show wear and there could be some old stickers residue. On any mugs or tumblers that have travel lids, please test that lid works properly before using. Also mugs or other dishes might have gold trim. Many items with gold trim or logos probably cannot go in the dishwasher or microwave. Mugs could also have “stir marks” on the inside bottom. Also, since many items are older, they might show crazing and I do not know if they are dishwasher or microwave safe. Plus, there is no way to know if such older items are lead free or if similar materials were used (that are not used any longer) in manufacturing years ago - hence these items are sold as is. Ceramic Display Steins / Glasses and Collectible Display Plates/ Mugs: Please hand clean thoroughly when received. Like dishware they might have similar types of wear, and many have gold like trim. These are just display items. Ashtrays: Please wipe down clean or hand clean items when received. Like dishes outside bottom of item might be discolored or show wear or old sticker residue. Candles: I only sell these if the wick shows it has never been lit. Please note that these will be considered new even if the lids are not sealed or previously owned. Please REAL ALL WARNINGS and INSTRUCTIONS for SAFE USE of these candles. These are not returnable. Metal / Plastic / Ceramic / Wood Made Items (Home Décor) which includes holiday decoration / ornaments: Wipe down clean when received. These are mostly display items and are generally Home Décor items. This includes framed items like photos and paper printed or canvas artwork. Also includes items like candle holders. (Please use with caution and proper use and read all safety warnings.) Books, DVDs CDs, VHS, Vinyl LP records, Software, magazines, and other types of media: Many books / magazines are old / vintage and might have spotting, ripped dust jackets, inside dust jacket tape repairs, old sticker residue, hard boards that have some discoloring and spines/gutters that have wear. Some of the pages might have some yellowing. Many books / LPs due to age might have a slight musty smell. With DVD’s, CD’s, audio cassettes, 8-Tracks and vinyl LP records, that are not new and sealed, they can sometimes have wear to the cases/ sleeves and discs / records could have visible surface marks. With vinyl records I do not grade them in anyway and they will only be shown in photos. They could skip or not play properly. However, I would not try to sell a vinyl record if to me it looked overly worn or scratched. All pre-owned tapes (cassette and 8-track) and vinyl audio items usually are not tested. With DVDs please be aware of the ratings for each DVD movie (since I tend to sell these in lots at times.). Buyer responsible to make sure from listing that DVD and Blu-Rays can play for their region. I do not accept returns for media items in most cases. Signed or Autographed Items: These items might or might not have a COA but will be noted in the listing if they do or not. Car / Automobile Parts or accessories: Item will have best description that can me found on the item. In many cases like a car radio, it most likely was not tested. It will be noted in listing if tested or not. Toys, Games, Bobble Heads, Figurines / Toy Cars / Building Kits/ Playing Cards / Replacement Pieces / Souvenirs Type of items / Collectibles. Etc: Please note many toys and figurines / bobble heads / metal and plastic cars are just collectible display items and not toys, basically just for show. All items here are sold with the understanding that the buyer is aware to PLEASE LOOK FOR ALL WARNINGS ON THESE PACKAGES OR ON BOTTOM OF ITEMS. Many of these items have age ranges and many have warnings of small parts and choking hazard items with age range or minimum age listed. Also, on games, toys, puzzles, etc. that are still sealed, they still might be old, and many manufacturers included batteries, so these batteries will probably not be good anymore or not in very good shape. And while items might be still sealed the package could show some wear or grime. With toys that are figurines or items like cars, that might be loose (not in original packaging) they could have wear or a part that could be pulled off or become loose. Same with games / board games, puzzles that have small parts or pieces (also like replacement parts.) It is sold with the understanding that the buyer is aware of the warnings (like choking, small parts) and to be aware of age ranges that would have been noted with these items on their original packaging. Please check items when they are received. Regarding plush stuffed animals / figurines, etc., please see label for care instructions. Again, these items are used and are sold with the understanding they are preowned and to follow care instructions for cleaning (which should be done when item is received); to follow age range and / or use supervision of the use of these plush / soft material items and figurines if they have warning labels or not. Additionally, many of these items since they are used might have surface marks and missing a part or have a loose part(s) that I might have missed in the original listing. Paper Goods: Items like old newspapers, postcards, greeting cards, manuals, brochures. Cards might be in original boxes or in lots. Hand Tools: Since these items are older and used, they are sold as is. Please check item(s) before using. Many items will have wood handles that might also show wear, stains and might need replacement. Metal parts might show rust and wear. Tools tend to be heavy so expect higher postage. Items are to be used as they are intended and made for. Home Supplies: These could be various items found in or outside the home. Anything from new sealed vacuum bags or a pool replacement part. Clothes / Hats / Shoes / Buttons & Pins / Cloth Patches / Personal Accessories: I wash all clothes (unscented) when purchased except items with tags that are basically new. Please follow care instructions when received. When item arrives, it might be wrinkled from shipping – hence it might not look exactly how it looked in the images posted in the listing. Please ask for added size information before purchasing if unsure. Please note, for dark fabrics like dark blue or black, there usually can be small particles on them. I do not best to make sure I can get off as much as I see before shipping, but sometimes certain types of fabrics just attract it. With Buttons and Pins please be aware, since they usually are made of metal and old, that the button and pin which is pointy might be rusty. So please handle items with care. With cloth patches I am not sure how old they are or how is the best way they should be applied to clothes, hats, etc. Hats are always shipped in a box. Golf Clubs and Balls / Tennis Rackets / Fishing Related Items / Baseball- Softball Gloves and Bats and other sports related items which includes hard hats with team logos: Most gloves that I sell are older and since they are used from playing, be advised the lacing in the glove, especially the web area might need re-lacing in the future. Bats will usually have surface marks from past use and could use new grips. Since these items might be older items like, Bats, Golf Clubs, Gloves, Fishing Poles and Reels, Tennis rackets, etc. are sold with the understanding these are used items. Please examine Bats, Golf Clubs, Tennis Rackets, Baseball Gloves, fishing poles / reels etc. and hard hats (hard hats are sold as display items) before using. Since wood bats can break and / or crack from use, they are not returnable. Electronics like Radios, Clocks, Calculators, Remotes, Stereo Equipment and Camera related items: These are used items.
