* * * WARNING * * *
A LOT OF THE CARS I AM CURRENTLY SELLING ARE VERY OLD ! ! !
OLD PLASTIC IS BRITAL AND WILL MOST LIKELY FAIL TO SURVIVE
EVEN A SINGLE CRASH IF YOU ATTEMPT TO RACE THEM!
(SOME OF THE OLDEST CARS I OFFER ARE FRAGILE ENOUGH - THAT EVEN
"HANDLING THEM" CAN BREAK THEM . . . ESPECIALLY the OLD F1's)
CARS with Rear Wings, SPOILERS (Front or Rear), Light bars, Mirrors,
6 wheel F1 ELF CARS and F1 CARS in general, etc . . . ARE THE MOST
FRAGILE CARS that were ever produced ! ! ! (and this statement applies
to EVERY HO SCALE SLOT CAR MANUFACTURER - PERIOD ! ! !
I DO NOT remove chassis from cars for chassis inspections - even that
simple TASK can SEVERELEY DAMAGE an OLD Slot car Body!
"NEW OLD STOCK" SLOT CARS CAN ALSO BE DECEIVING . . .
THEY MAY LOOK BRAND NEW, BUT AGE DOES NOT STOP THE
PLASTICS FROM DETERIATING OVER TIME - THEY ARE STILL FRAGILE ! ! !
"OLD" HO SLOT CARS ARE BRITAL & BREAK EASILY ! ! !
(I HATE TO HAVE TO EMPHISIZE THIS POINT TO DEATH -
BUT YOU WOULD BE AMAZED AT THE LEVEL OF EXPECTATIONS SOME
EBAY BUYERS HAVE FROM THESE OLD HO SLOT CARS . . .)!
SO, ONE LAST TIME - MOST OF MY HO SCALE AUCTIONS ARE FOR
ITEMS THAT ARE OLD, ANTIQUE, HARD TO FIND, AND FRAGILE ! ! !
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* HERE IS SOME LEGAL & FINAL WARNING TYPE STUFF . . .
PLEASE - DO NOT BID ON ANY OF MY ITEMS
THAT YOU CAN NOT AFFORD / PAY FOR WITH IN 3 DAYS
OF THE AUCTIONS ENDING Date & Time !
IF YOUR PAYMENT WILL BE LATE -
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN I CAN EXPECT IT
(COMMUNICATION IS KEY)!
I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS - PERIOD ! ! !
So please, FULLY understand what you are looking at:
Read the description information CAREFULLY,
look at all of the pictures CAREFULLY,
ASSESS the value "YOU" THINK the item is worth "TO YOU" CAREFULLY,
Then (and ONLY THEN) - Should YOU proceed to make an
ADULT DECISION as to weather or not you want to spend
your hard earned money on the item that is up for sale in
this auction!
Some of these slot cars can get VERY EXPENSIVE ! ! !
(I have had individual cars sell for over a $1,000 before) ! ! !
Please ask yourself - Is this auction item really worth it?
That's a question that only "YOU" can answer !
I do my BEST to accurately Describe my items using good quality pictures and
to mention any flaws I might see in the item (issues that the PICS might not show)
I DO NOT accept any form of "BUYERS REMORSE" ! ! !
If you have any doubts as to whether or not you wish to own
ANY OF MY ITEMS CURRENTLY UP FOR SALE -
THEN PLEASE . . . "DO NOT BID ON THE ITEM(s)" ! ! !
(You Don't need to spend money you may not really have -
AND, I don't need an ANGERY / DISSAPOINTED CUSTOMER) !
IF YOU ARE CERTAIN YOU WANT TO TRY AND WIN THIS
AUCTION BY BIDDING ON IT, Are willing to spend the MONEY
to WIN IT, And LAST BUT NOT LEAST -
Your SPOUSE is on board with supporting your
"SLOT CAR ADDICTION" . . .
THEN BY ALL MEANS - BID AWAY !
PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU MAY
HAVE PRIOR TO BIDDING (at least 48 hours before the
auction ends!
Your purchase(s) will be carefully wrapped and shipped in a
Sturdy Card board Box! ITEM(s) will be SHIPPED using USPS
by default.
Note: USPS by default provides both a Tracking # and up to $100 of INSURANCE as
part of their basic 3 and or 4 day shipping policies through ebay . . .
(The $100 of Insurance only covers up to $100 of the actual purchase price of the item -
BUT, DOES NOT INCLUDE any additional taxes or additional insurance fees Paid by
the BUYER . . .
If the item price sells for over $100, It's your call as to whether or not you wish to
have me (the seller) - ADD additional insurance at your expense.
(If additional shipping costs are incurred to cover additional insurance, I expect YOU
the buyer to work with me on how you would like to pay for the additional insurance)!
I'll reach out after the auction has ended and we can firm up any request for
additional insurance coverage and how you want to handle getting me re-imbursed!
I will also request if you would like me to check the box requesting a signature upon
delivery (this service also adds an additional $4 to the S&H costs) . . .
I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING on all items purchased as long
as the purchases end on the same Calendar day AND only
if it makes sense to do so . . .
The combined shipping "thing" is always wonkey for me -
sometimes ebay makes you "AUTO PAY" which gets real
expensive when ebay checks you out and charges S&H on
each item won . . .
DO NOT PANICK ! ! !
Simply go through the CHECK-OUT Process for each
item. I will then group your wins at the time of PACKING,
and provide an APPROPRIATE shipping refund to your
account!
ONE Last thing worth mentioning about Shipping -
I try and ship items out within 3 business days after receiving
your payment and your Payment has cleared!
I have been doing this ebay thing for over 25 years now
and have always received 100% Positive Feedback as
both a Buyer AND as a Seller (See FEEDBACK HISTORY) !
I AM STILL HUMAN - SO, IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR PURCHASE -
PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST - BEFORE - LEAVING ANY NUETRAL OR
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK !
I always do TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU, THE CUSTOMER, ARE SATISFIED !
(Hence the 100% PERFECT FEEDBACK RECORD) ! ! !
BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND ! ! !
DO NOT TRY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME!
JUST LIKE YOU - I have ZERO tolerance for "KARENS", LIARS & SCAMMERS ! ! !
If I FEEL YOU ARE TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME -
I WILL REPORT YOU TO ebay ) ! ! !
I have been collecting slot cars for over 40 years now . . .
So WHY start selling a 40 Year old, AWESOME collection?
I'm retired now (& getting older) - My Wife DOES NOT want
to have to deal with all of my TOYS (aka SHxT) should I
PASS 1st ! (I know some of you can relate)!
Good Luck!
I think you will be happy with your purchase if you are the Lucky Winner !
