U.S. Buyer pays the postage cost shown in the shipping calculator below for eBay Standard Envelope shipping with tracking available only through your My eBay Page. Please see my other listings for more collectible matchbooks, matchbook covers and many other great items!

HELLO! EACH EBAY SELLER HAS THEIR OWN UNIQUE TERMS OF SALE, SO PLEASE TAKE JUST A MOMENT TO READ THIS LISTING PAGE. REMEMBER, BY PURCHASING OR PLACING A BID YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS IN ADVANCE. THANK YOU! 

GENERAL INFORMATION: I can often combine like items that close on the same day and that are paid for together in one payment through eBay. To qualify for combined shipping, the items should close on the same day and all items MUST be paid for together in the same single payment through eBay. Be sure to request a new combined total from seller before remitting payment if you win more than one item. 

Please note that my thousands of listed items come from many different sources. While ours is a smoke, furred and feathered pet-free home, some items may have come from homes or businesses with smokers and/or pets. If you are very sensitive to these issues, please contact me before bidding on an item.

All items are guaranteed to be as described and to arrive in that same condition. However, because I offer many different kinds of items, many in used and/or vintage condition, including vintage photographic, electrical and electronic components and equipment, all items are sold without additional or extended warranty of any kind. 

BEST OFFERS: Although my asking prices are already very fair, and in almost every case are based upon what the same or very similar items have previously sold on eBay, I do allow "Best Offers" on most of my fixed price listings. This is to make buying even more fun and to allow buyers to feel that they got a really good deal when their offer is accepted! Please do not abuse this option and send "Low-Ball" offers that are only a fraction of my asking price, they will never be accepted. Try reasonable offers like 10%, 15% , or on some items maybe even as much as 20% under my asking price, and your offer will likely be accepted. Just be reasonable and we can both have fun with this option!

SHIPPING CHARGES & SCHEDULE: Sellers are ONLY allowed to ship items to the address provided to us by eBay with your payment. Be certain to have the correct address listed BEFORE you remit payment. Please do NOT ask me to ship to a different address.

The auction winner or purchaser will pay the shipping charges as shown in the eBay shipping calculator on the listing page. All items shipped through the USPS now include Package Tracking for your convenience.

I ship at least twice each week, normally on Wednesday and Friday (subject to change for occasional holidays, vacations, family obligations, etc.). Your payment must be received before 9AM Pacific Time on a shipping day to ship that same day. Because of this twice weekly shipping schedule, I am not normally able to offer rush next day or expedited shipping, but you may certainly ask to upgrade your shipping to a faster shipping method at additional cost if you need to receive an item quickly.  

USPS SHIPPING TIMES: PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME CARRIERS HAVE ANNOUNCED THAT THEY ARE EXPERIENCING DELAYS IN SHIPPING TIMES. PLEASE BE EXTRA PATIENT DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME FOR BOTH BUYERS AND SELLERS, ESPECIALLY WITH USPS MEDIA MAIL AND USPS GROUND ADVANTAGE SHIPPING, WHICH IS SOMETIMES TAKING FOUR WEEKS OR MORE IN TRANSIT. Please understand that no seller has any control over carrier shipping times, and that the Expected Delivery date provided by eBay is just their estimate based on normal average shipping times. Allow the following shipping times depending upon your distance from CA 92025 and the shipping method for which you selected and/or paid: USPS Ground Advantage Service averages 1-5 business days, but can sometimes take up to four weeks. USPS Priority Mail averages 1-3 business-days, but can take up to two weeks. USPS Media Mail averages 3-10 business-days, but can sometimes take over one month. Seasonally, especially during the busy Holiday Season, the mails can take even longer. Please do not give any seller that ships promptly less than a five-star rating because of slow USPS shipping and delivery times. 

PAYMENT & SALES TAX: I accept all of the payment methods offered by eBay Managed Payments. Note that laws now require eBay to collect state sales tax for most states. All sales are considered final. 

CANADIAN & INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: Sorry, due to too many issues, I no longer ship items internationally.

EMAIL NOTICES, QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK: Please try to email any questions at least 48 hours before the end of the listing to allow me time to respond. eBay will send you a dated confirmation of your payment to me and I will ship your item the very next twice weekly shipping day after receipt of your cleared payment. Please rest assured that I will always attempt to ship exactly as described in these terms, your acceptance of which is a binding condition of bidding on my listings. eBay now automatically leaves you positive feedback after they see that you have feedback for me. Thank you very much!
