ITEM: Original 1980 International Harvester Scout four page vintage print ad (only two pages are shown,  Pages not shown have drawing of engine and chassis, plus a nice photo of a red Scout). Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS First Class Mail.


DESCRIPTION:  1980 International Harvester Scout 4 page ad was printed in full color, each page measures approximately 8” X 11”, and was printed on standard magazine paper, not the premium paper utilized by National Geographic or Playboy.  Therefore, there has been normal aging discoloration where the original bright white open space now varies from off-white to very light beige, which darkens at the paper edges.   Please zoom over the photo so that you can better ascertain the actual extent of the aging discoloration.  However, please be advised that my scanner automatically lightens the photo and I have not yet figured out how to stop it from doing that.    Actual ad is a full shade darker in person than it appears in the photo.  But it looks normal in person compared to the photo, which looks like it was backlit by a white light.  Other than normal aging discoloration consistent with age of ad and quality of paper, ad is in excellent condition and contains no markings,bends, folds, tears, folds, stains, or water damage.  File:  WB2


SHIPPING: Shipping will only take place on Wednesday and Saturday, unless I happen to visit my local grocery store, which operates as a satellite post office. If so, I will mail item on that day. Otherwise, payments received between Sat 8:01 AM and Tuesday at 11:00 PM will ship on Wednesday and payments received between 11:01 PM Tuesday and 8:00 AM Saturday will ship on Saturday.  Item(s) will be encased in a plastic protective sheet and mailed between two protective chipboards to greatly reduce chance item will be creased or otherwise damaged during shipment.

TRACKING #: First Class mail does not include tracking information. A tracking number can be obtained, but you will have to pay for tracking as postage that includes a tracking number starts at $4.47 and I am only charging $3.00 S & H.  If you want a tracking number and agree to pay for it, put your item in an ebay cart and ask me for an invoice to include tracking.  Ads with a tracking number will be shipped via media mail.

INVENTORY: I have 1,000's of car and truck ads dating back to 1903 and brochures dating to the late 1960's for sale, ask me for your favorite. Over 90% of brochures from 1965 to 1985 were collected by me from the Detroit Auto Show and then stored away until my retirement a few years ago, when I began offering them for sale. Collecting as many different car or truck ads and brochures is my hobby, and selling my duplicates allows me to buy more magazines looking for unique ads. I want you to be as happy with your selection as I am with my collection. Your purchase will be shipped within a plastic cover and covered by two chip boards in hopes of preventing any damage during shipping. If you are not happy with your purchase for any reason, your full purchase price will be cheerfully refunded upon return of this item in the same condition as shipped., and I will pay for return

BEST OFFERS ARE NOT CONSIDERED: I price my items fairly based on each item’s age, condition, and competitive items and therefore, I mark all of my items as “Do not accept offers.” However, ebay will often insert “accept offers” into my listings when they renew. I both phoned and emailed ebay to ask that they do not change my listings to “accept offers” without success. I sincerely apologize if you see an :”accept offers” on any of my listings, but that is ebay ignoring my request and me not having the additional 24 hours monthly it would take to change my items back to “Do not accept offers.”
