SEVERAL things to consider before you place a bid…

1. SHIPPING COSTS...

BUYERS WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.
Use the shipping calculator to enter your postal zip code and get a shipping quote to your location. Shipping and handling will be whatever the shipping calculator indicates. I do my best to keep shipping costs to a minimum but nothing is cheap these days. Packing materials, rising gas costs, my time and actual shipping fees are all real factors in determining a fair shipping cost to you the buyer. Please be aware that I'm only human and sometimes I do screwup and fail to enter accurate specs into the calculator which may cause an invalid shipping quote. If the cost seems unusually high or low please email me so I can check it to be sure it's correct. If I find that I mistakenly entered the wrong information when I go to send your invoice I'll make any needed adjustments at that time and your invoice should reflect the correct shipping costs.

BUYERS OUTSIDE THE CONTINENTAL U.S.
I will ship most small items anywhere in the world but if you live outside the continental U.S. shipping can sometimes get expensive (varies depending on the item) and things may take a while to arrive so please be patient. Use the shipping calculator to enter your postal zip code and/or the country where you live and get a shipping cost to your location.

2. INSURANCE…

Unless otherwise stated insurance is optional but available only to U.S. buyers. If you want me to insure your item it’s $1.70 for the 1st $50.00 of coverage with the USPS. More coverage will run a little higher. Insurance is optional but I recommend it! I will "NOT" be responsible for lost or damaged packages. I always pack with extreme care but I will not assume responsibility if this item is damaged or lost once it leaves my hands.

3. SHIPPING TIMES...

Please pay attention here. I normally travel several days a week and am frequently out of town on other business for up to a week at a time. As such, I am NOT able to pick up my mail on a daily basis nor am I able to ship on a daily basis. I do not always have access to a computer to check emails or answer questions but I always do my best to answer inquiries ASAP. If you send a note and don't get an answer right away it may be that I'm out of town. I do the best I can to ship items in a prompt time period but depending on when I get your payment, the type of payment you send and a number of other variables, it will normally be about 2 weeks after the auction ends before you receive your item. If you're in a big hurry for something and don't have the patience to wait then please do us both a favor and shop with another seller. I'm only one person and this is not my entire life. Thank you for being realistic about this issue.

4. PAYMENTS…

PAYMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 5 DAYS!
I may cancel the sale and sell the item to another bidder or relist it if I don’t receive your payment within 5 days from auctions end! I always file a report with ebay on non-paying bidders.
All payments (including Canada) must be made in U.S. dollars.

NOTE... There will be a $30 charge for any bounced or other returned deposited payments.

5. SALES TAX... PA residents pay 6% sales tax. Also, anyone that picks an item up in person will have to pay PA sales tax regardless of where you live. This will normally only affect people buying large furniture items that can't be shipped out of state but it applies to anyone picking up an item in person.

6. STORAGE... This generally applies to large items that are too big to ship but includes any item a buyer intends to pick up in person. I am more than willing to keep things for a short period of time (2 weeks) until you can pick up your item. However, unless we have agreed on other arrangements in advance I will begin charging storage fees after 2 weeks on things that haven't been picked up at the rate of $1 a day. Items left unclaimed for 45 days or more after the auctions end will be resold and any monies paid by the buyer will be forfeited.

“Non Paying Bidders” GO AWAY!

7. FEEDBACK… Pretty simple... Your feedback will get mine. I certainly appreciate positive feedback and will leave positive feedback once I receive yours. If there is a problem of any kind just email me and allow me the opportunity to correct the issue before you resort to leaving negative or neutral feedback. That isn't going to help. I'll do my best to keep a happy customer if you just give me the chance.
