bids are complete, for up to 30 days. We
are happy to combine multiple items sent together to one address.
PAYMENT: We ourselves use and recommend PayPal. Remittances via PayPal we endeavor to ship
within 3 business days, unless we advise buyers otherwise (trip away from home,
etc.). We do not use or accept any other payment system. One such historically famous
company stopped payment on its check, after we deposited it and shipped to the
buyer! Due to abuses like this, we’re happy eBay no longer allows sellers to list such
‘services’ as acceptable payment systems, a move we applaud and heartily endorse.

reciprocity. We look forward to
receiving +feedback from our purchasers.
Please see the note near the top
of this page.
