Our goal is to create ahappy buying experience for our customers. We try to be very careful andprecise when describing the condition of items we offer, but being human, wesometimes make mistakes. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Every couple of months we mustput our store on vacation for 6-7 days to take care of other business. We don\'talways know ahead of time when those days will be so it is nearly impossible toschedule our \'Buy It Now\' listings so that they end ahead of time. If you seesomething that you might want, please keep this in mind when waiting to buy sothat you are not disappointed.

Please pay within 48 hoursafter you have won the sale, \'Buy It Now\' item, or we accept youroffer.We will ship as soon as possible after receiving your payment.Should you need longer to pay, please contact us BEFORE offerding and let us knowwhat your payment schedule will be. We will accommodate you if possible.

We know how disappointingit is to receive items that have been broken in transit, so we pack verycarefully and wrap breakable items in lots of bubble wrap, white packing paper(hardly ever newspaper), clean diapers, styrofoam peanuts and egg cartons, andany other packing type item we have. We want them to have the greatest chanceof arriving safely.

We do not accept returnsunless we have missed something very significant in the listing description.

In the event that you changeyour mind before the item has shipped, please ask to cancel the order. If theitem has already been taken to the Post Office, we will still try to work withyou. There will be a re-stocking fee equal to any out-of-pocket expenses (suchas free shipping) we have incurred, plus, the return shipping will be at theexpense of the buyer.

To saveyou money, we are happy to combine shipping when you check out using oneinvoice.
