As we try to take the best photos possible, the lighting at the moment may affect color, glare, etc. so if there is ever question please do not hesitate to ask.
Most items we sell are used, vintage or antique items.
With that being said, this means they will not be in new, perfect or mint condition unless we specifically state that they are.
Typically, we include Vintage or Antique in our title to help describe our items as not being new and at least 30 years old.
We list as many pictures allowed by ebay (up to 12 pictures) to help provide a visual description because most of us would like to see something before we buy it.
Please feel free to ask for additional pictures, views or a more detailed description which we will happily supply to help answer any additional questions we may not have thought to cover.
We are not experts in any field and do not claim to be.
We simply love to buy, sell and provide an opportunity to bring to our customers an item they may be searching for.
We do not intend to misrepresent any item we sell and do as much research as possible but again we are human and are capable of making errors.
We sell vintage and antique items.
Many things we sell will NOT be in perfect condition and will have flaws and imperfections.
We will try to describe the merchandise as accurately as possible and provide pictures to help describe what we verbally may not.
The pictures WILL serve as part of the description.
Due to the nature of the items we sell (mostly vintage and antique) they will be used, played with, handled for many years, have flaws, imperfections, discoloration, may be soiled, etc and it is VERY important for you to closely inspect the pictures as they will serve as part of the description.
It is never our intention to leave out any important information but we are human and are prone to error on occasion like everyone and this is why we attempt to cover important details with a written description and visual description.
Thank you for reading.
