• Please DO NOT include "FREE SHIPPING" or any alteration in the shipping costs when using "MAKE AN OFFER" - the logistics are difficult due to eBay policy. Make any offer you wish on the cost of the ITEM - but please leave the quoted shipping as it is. We accept a high percentage of offers (or counteroffers).
• Check our other auctions to see if combining shipping can work to save you  $$$.
• Hand Delivery or Pickup is always available, and usually preferred. Ask for more info. Most items are in our STURBRIDGE, MA Location, but we can also do Boston (Metro West and the North Shore especially), Worcester, Hartford, New Haven, and less often, Manhattan. The Pickup or Delivery options are often quite reasonably priced - occasionally FREE on certain items.
• We are happy to accept your check [Personal / Business / Bank] - But ONLY by special prior arrangement ...or... on hand delivery - this is forced on us by eBay security policy. Glad to discuss this angle when setting up in person delivery.
• We ship over 90% of items sold within 36 hours of payment (or check clearing).
• Ask questions, if any, before you bid. Uncertainty is the enemy.
• Returns: we do 'em, partly just cause the other guys wont!  14 days $$$ back as long as we get the item back in original (or better) condition. Most times you have to pay shipping, but sometimes I'm willing to pay for some or all of it - ask ahead of time if it's not spelled out on the individual auction. If it's my error [unlikely but possible] I'll cover some of that cost for sure !!
