Almost all the items I list are antique or vintage.  I always try to point out the flaws but it is also to be assumed that unless it says "mint" that there will be signs of age. I am also a novice  photographer so if the exact color is of paramount importance, I suggest you email me so I can tell you how "true" the photo color is to the item (it's usually pretty close). Please don't hesitate to email me with questions.  I try to answer same day as received and I'm friendly.
Foreign buyers need to be aware that I do not include customs or duty charges.  Please note that many of my items are light enough to be shipped first class mail which is very reasonable, but I can't track or insure first class mail.  If you select First Class Mail you do so at your risk.
Final payment is expected within 3 days unless prior arrangements have been made.  Beyond 5 days I file a non-payment case with the Ebay's  resolution department.  I'm really sorry to have to do this but a number of buyers have either been very, very slow or after weeks of non-payment have  canceled transactions.  Contact me if you are bidding on multiple items as I can extend payment time to accommodate combined shipping.
Please note:  Your NUMERICAL feedback counts as it effects the fees that sellers pay eBay.  If you  can't rate me straight "5s", (eBay considers "4s" to be substandard) let me know what I can do to earn that rating.   PS: Just so you know, giving ratings of 1 or 2 can potentially block a seller from continuing to sell on eBay.
