Please ask us any questions you have and satisfy yourself the item is what you want to purchase before you bid or press the buy button.

On auction items please do not bid if you do not intend paying, if you change your mind after bidding or after buying a shop inventory item contact us -- cancellations are not a problem, we all change our mind but early contact lets us minimise loss and is only fair.

In accordance with the distance selling regulations you can return fixed price items for full credit as long you advise us of their intended return within seven days and return to us in the same condition as supplied, postage paid within fourteen days.

Auction items are outside the distance selling regulations but will be replaced if faulty. We will refund your return postage if the fault is with us, we will not refund return postage for a change of mind.

We are happy to combine items to save postage where appropriate and sensible, just ask us. We can give best advice before buying and please do not just assume we can combine it is not always the cheapest option as combined items may push the weight particularly with royal mail into a band which demands a higher price service. A lot of our inventory is also awkward pieces of metal that do not always make good bedfellows with the more fragile item. Just ask.

With the speed of Bank transfer we prefer this method of payment, just ask for our bank details. EBay requires of course that we offer paypal as an option on some listings and where indicated we are of course happy to accept that along with cheque or postal order. Common sense dictates and it is not unreasonable that we hold items until funds have cleared, we do not delay more than necessary but echeque payments via paypal do seem to take anything up to ten days to clear into our paypal account so please bear this in mind .. We will always keep you informed of any delay and the progress of your purchase
