Payment
I accept Paypal but am willing to work with buyer on other options. For these options, please email me prior to bidding/winning.
Shipping
I pride myself on shipping as conservatively as possible in order to save the customer money however, I also take the personal time and effort to package the merchandise as carefully as I can to prevent any damage during shipping. I will include FREE INSURANCE OVER $50 OF PURCHASE PRICE - if additional insurance is requested, buyer will be responsible for payment of said increase.
Terms of Sale
My first and foremost goal is to provide customer satisfaction. If for some reason, you are not satisfied, I will attempt to resolve the situation. I am not an expert in antiquities nor do I ascribe to be however, I attempt to describe to the best of my ability all items that I list. At this time, I ALLOW refunds within 7 days of buyer receiving item but NOT on LOTS of jewelry or clothing. On these items, I will not accept returns UNLESS a gross misrepresentation or negligence has occurred on my part. Either way, communication with myself as a seller is a necessity. I am willing to work with each and every buyer but, communication MUST occur. I will send additional pics or answer any and all questions before you actually buy an item to ensure you are satisfied before completing the purchase. This is due to just a "few" bidders lately who have failed to complete the transaction and/or returned merchandise over a month after receiving it. Be sure to check out my excellent feedback on my transactions to ensure that I am an honest seller!!! Please remember that "Vintage" and the fact that I find items from estate sales means that they are NOT brand new and that reasonable wear, possible cleaning needs to be done on some (not all) items that I sell. Thus, the importance of COMMUNICATION before completing a bid or sale. Thanks and God Bless!!!
