This Buy it Now auction is for an American Army Gas Can. It is old and in Used Condition, and it has been repainted.  This is an Army marked Gas Can with a "USA" marking on one side for United Stated Army, and the other side has a "QMC" for Quartermaster Corps.  There are also "G" Gasoline markings.  During the Korean War Army Gas Cans changed to just having a "US" marking on the sides.  WW2 era Navy gas cans are marked "USN" on the sides.  The Marine Corps cans are marked "USMC" on the sides.  The gas can for sale here has the WW2 era "USA" and "QMC" Army markings.  These stand for Quartermaster Corps Unites States Army.  The manufacturer and date markings are on the bottom of this can.  There is a "RHEEM" manufacturer name marking.  There is also a "20 5.2 43" marking that means, 20 Liters or 5.2 Gallons, and the 1943 date.  There is no "ICC 5" is for Interstate Commerce Commission zone 5 on this can.  This can does not have the typical "ICC 5" marking.

The Gas can weighs around 15 LBS and is around 14 Inches by 19 Inches by 7 Inches in size. It cost me $37.76 to mail one of these type of Gas Cans to South Carolina. Expect to pay around $40.00 to $80.00 for the shipping cost within the United States. Shipping prices quotes are just a rough guess.  The cost of shipping has gone up over the years.  The British sent spies in 1939 to steal a German Truck that had three German style Gas Cans. The British gave one of the three German cans to the American War Department in the Summer of 1940. The British like to call the Germans "Jerry", and that is why these copies of the German fuel cans are called "Jerry Cans".  This item is old and in Used Condition.  Do not try to keep gasoline in this old collectable.  If you want a can to keep gas in, go to Wal-Mart and buy a new "Made in China" gas can.  This is being sold as an old collectable only.  Most people with vintage Military vehicle collectable cars, do not try to keep liquid in the old relic cans.  They put them on their vintage vesicles for looks only, and don't try to use them for their original purpose. 

Condition:

For Legal reasons, the items in this listing are stated as "Used Condition".  What is a "Used Condition" item?  It is an item that is in "Poor Terrible Condition".  They are better condition than "Dug Relic Condition" items.  Items are no longer like how they were the day they were first manufactured.  Items have been used by someone Decades ago in another Century.  Items will have defects and damage from having been used.  The older something is, the worse the condition will be.  Wool items will have Moth holes.  Expect Moth damage to old wool items.  Expect clothing to have dirt stains, frayed cuffs and collars.  Expect there to be Mildew and Mold damage stains.  Expect wrinkles.  Expect buttons to be broken or missing.  Expect zippers to be broken and non functional.  Expect size tags to be missing or damaged.  Expect leather items to be dried out and cracked.  Hats will be crushed and bent out of shape.  Do not expect clothing to fit you, it is not your size.  Expect oxidation and rust on the metal parts.  Expect items to be faded from having been exposed to sun light.  Expect metal items to have dents, scratches, and paint loss.  Expect items to have microscopic fractures when looked at under a microscope.  Expect Electronic items to no longer work or be functional.  These items are old and things slowly get destroyed by time. Please do not expect something in "New Condition", or "Good Condition". These items are in "Used Condition", and are Relics from another Century.  The vintage items I list for sale are not wearable clothing, or usable items. They are sold as old collectibles only.  If you are expecting something that is old and used to still be in nice shape, do not buy this item.  I am trying to be 100% Honest, and Accurately Describe the Crappy Condition of the Old Relics I have for sale.  If you want something that is in nice shape, than go to a store and buy something that is new.  These items are old and damaged from use.

Shipping:

  Shipping will be done via the US Postal Service. Priority Mail will be the means of shipping and Delivery Confirmation will be used. Overseas buyers will have a United States Customs Declaration Form Tracking Number.  The item was rough weighed in an open box.  I then put the rough shipping weight into the eBay Calculated Shipping.  eBay calculated the shipping cost, not me.  I won't know the shipping weight until the item is taken to my local post office when it needs to be mailed.   I am not an employee of the USPS and the weight is just a rough measurement for listing purposes.  I am not doing this as a business, I am just some guy trying to sell off my private collection of Militaria in order to try and pay some bills. I am using eBay as a garage sale. If I can use a USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate box to send the item in, I'll mail it in one of those.  

  A Post Office employee told me a Small Priority Mail Flat Rate box costs around $12.00 to mail within the United States, or $40.00 to mail to Canada, or $60.00 to mail World Wide overseas outside the USA. A Medium Priority Mail Flat Rate box costs $22.00 to mail within the United States, or $80.00 to mail to Canada, or $120.00 to mail World Wide overseas outside the USA.  A Large Priority Mail Flat Rate box costs $30.00 to mail within the United States, or $100.00 to mail to Canada, or $150.00 to mail World Wide overseas outside the USA.

  I have mailed items in the past to: (Brazil, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Netherlands, Australia, Canada, Malta, Hungry, Belgium, Taiwan, etc.)  I will use the Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes as much as I can.  The local Post Office gives those boxes out to use.  No "Free Shipping", the buyer has to pay 100% the shipping cost.  Ebay Incorporated charges you their "Calculated Shipping" amounts.  I don't do the shipping cost amounts.  There will be no shipping refunds.  I can not save you any money with "Combined Shipping".  You have to pay whatever amount Ebay says the shipping costs are, for each individual item.  This is all 100% honestly stated up front. 

I will no longer use the eBay International Shipping Program.  They have lost items I have mailed.  I will only mail International packages to your direct address overseas outside the USA.

Anyone trying to argue with me about the shipping, will go on the Blocked Bidder List.  All I want is "Serious Buyers" to click the "Buy it Now", and send immediate payment.  I am not interested in "Time Wasters", sending me messages I really don't want to read in the first place.  Shipping is Non-Negotiable.  You have to pay whatever amount Ebay Incorporated says their "Calculated Shipping" is.  This is a "Buy it Now" listing, not a chat forum.  I don't want to talk with you for any reason.  I just want to sell off my stuff, and not be bothered with pointless messages. 

Payment:

For years, the only acceptable means of Payment allowed by eBay was via PayPal. I use to only accept PayPal payments.  However, Ebay cut PayPal out of the loop in August 2020.  Now there is the Ebay Managed Payments system.  Sometimes there is an error with the calculated shipping.  Ebay does the calculated shipping amounts, and I have no control over the computer Ebay uses to do the calculated shipping amounts.  I try to use Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes to make the shipping cost more set in stone. I had a clerk at the post office tell me the shipping costs for the Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes.  You have to pay whatever Ebay Incorporated says the calculated shipping amounts are.  I have no control over what they say the shipping cost will be.  I just hope you paid enough to cover the full shipping cost.  I use to send people back the excess shipping they overpaid in a PayPal Refund of the excess shipping not needed to mail the packaged item.  However I am now unable to do excess shipping refunds, since Ebay started the Managed Payment system.  It takes between 3 to 5 days for funds to transfer to my bank account. I will not be able to mail an item until after the funds finish transferring over to my bank. I'm not trying to play games and cheat anyone on the shipping costs. I'm trying to be 100% up front and honest.  No "Free Shipping", the buyer has to pay 100% the shipping Cost.  You have to pay whatever Ebay Incorporated says the calculated shipping amount is.  I have no control over what they say the shipping cost is.

Feedback:

I mostly only leave other people feedback after they leave me feedback. Chances are, if you don't leave me any feedback I'll probably not leave you any either.

Return policy:

My preference for a return policy is, All Sales Final! No Returns! I try to be 100% Honest and show photos and describe items the best I can. Items tend to be old, used, and as is. There is an ebay policy against Buyer's Remorse, it has helped me win quit a few dispute cases in the past.

Questions:

I don't want to talk to anyone at all on here.  Please do not message me at all for any reason.  I have grown tired of people trying to argue with me about the shipping.  I say up front that you have to pay whatever Calculated Shipping amount Ebay comes up with.  I don't care what size an old relic collectable is.  I am not selling wearable clothing or usable items.  I am selling off my collection of old damage war relic collectables, that are stated to be in "Poor Terrible Condition".  The items are for sale "As Is".  I do not do clothing measurements at all.  I am not an experienced tailor, and don't want to even try to do measurements.  I am tired of people trying to make me an offer, when I never do "Make Offer", just "Buy it Now".  I also do not want to do any Cancellations, Refunds, or Returns.  I prefer All Sales to be Final.  There is an Ebay policy against "Buyer's Remorse".  I only want people to click the "Buy it Now", and send immediate payment.  This is not a chat forum, I don't want to talk with you at all.  Please do not message me.  I have added many people to the Blocked Bidder List, for wasting my time, bothering me with pointless messages.  I also had to block over 100 people for sending me immature and childish messages over an old moth eaten uniform.  I am done trying to answer questions.  Please do not contact me, it is a good way to end up on the Blocked Bidder List, forever.  You have been warned.
