DISCLAIMER:
We enjoy finding treasures from the past to sell on Ebay. We appreciate when fellow eBayers offer knowledge or expertise on items. We research every item before listing it. At times, we can't find any info to confirm the origin, brand, or maker. When we use info found on other websites or given by fellow sellers, we trust that in good faith, the info is factual, accurate, honest, & genuine. Buyers can always research an item further if more info is desired. Our goal is 100% accuracy when creating detailed descriptions.
Many items we offer are vintage or antique & have retired or no longer made. We try our best to price items at fair & reasonable prices based on research. We look at values of similar items sold & currently listed for sale. We analyze all info to determine a fair price of an item. We look at condition, size, weight, & shipping costs.
We show the maximum of 12 photos allowed by Ebay to ensure there are no misunderstandings. We encourage shoppers to ask questions before making a purchase. This helps clarify our photos & description to make sure they match your expectations. More photos can be provided upon request. We want you to be happy with your purchase & have no regrets after your order has been delivered. Misunderstandings waste valuable resources & time for both parties.
