BIDDING INFORMATION (auction): We have had several requests for second chance offers as well as bidders making offers on items that have closed because their bids were not placed in time or an error occurred. Please note, while we appreciate the interest in our listings, NO offer (regardless of how high it is) will be considered once the auction is closed & paid for. It would be unethical as well as against eBay regulations. We suggest all interested bidders place their bids long before the auction ending. Placing a bid in the last few minutes of the auction may not secure your bid. 

Due to fraudulent bids all international bidders must contact us prior to bidding to confirm bidding eligibility as well as shipping & handling cost. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of bid and/or auction.

SHIPPING INFORMATION: Items will be shipped within 3 business days of payment. If you need the item to be shipped earlier, please contact us and we will be happy to work out a solution for you. All orders that exceed $500 will require adult signature confirmation and shipping insurance to be paid by the buyer. Adult signature confirmation will be calculated at $5.50 per package. Shipping insurance will be calculated at $1.50 per $100 of coverage. These adjustments will be added to the buyers’ invoice once they are calculated. Please note, shipping quotes include the cost of shipping, handling, and material costs. All international orders will be shipped via the eBay Global Shipping Program. Currently, there is no way for us to combine shipping using that method of shipping. Please contact eBay for additional information on the eBay Global Shipping Program. SF.
