PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH FRAUD, I CAN NO LONGER OFFER PARTIAL REFUNDS / DISCOUNTS. SINCE EBAY'S ZERO SELLER PROTECTION POLICIES HAVE BECOME MORE COMMONLY KNOWN, THE WHEELER DEALER HUSTLERS ARE COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK TO MAKE FALSE / TRIVIAL COMPLAINTS & THEN ASKING FOR PARTIAL REFUNDS WITHOUT RETURNING THE ITEM. I CAN ONLY ACCEPT RETURNS IF I MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION.
IF POSSIBLE, I TEST ALL WIND UP, ELECTRIC, MECHANICAL TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES MANUALLY AS BEST AS I CAN BEFORE LISTING. I THEN DESCRIBE WHAT I SEE AT THE TIME THEY ARE LISTED. I CANNOT OFFER ANY WARRANTIES OR RETURNS IN REFERENCE TO TO THE SECOND PRECISE TIME KEEPING ACCURACY OF VINTAGE PRE-OWNED WATCHES/CLOCKS. THE VINTAGE TIMEPIECES THAT WILL GO THROUGH RAPID TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND CLIMATE CHANGES DURING PRIORITY SHIPPING. I HAVE NO WAY TO PREDICT HOW WELL AN OLD WATCH/CLOCK WILL CONTINUE TO RUN PROPERLY OR KEEP GOOD TIME AFTER IT IS SHIPPED & USED BY THE NEW OWNER. MY INDICATED OBSERVATIONS IN THE DESCRIPTION ARE WHAT THE WATCH/CLOCK IS DOING IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME OF THE LISTING.
ALL VINTAGE TOYS, MODEL TRAINS & HOBBY ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS ADULT COLLECTIBLES / HOBBY ITEMS. THEY ARE NOT BEING OFFERED AS WARRANTED / SAFETY CERTIFIED CHILD'S TOYS FOR PLAY USE.
MANY OF THE ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS. JUST TO BE SAFE WHEN BIDDING, PLEASE ASSUME THEY POSSIBLY DID NOT COME FROM SMOKE FREE HOMES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SMELLS "OLD" OR "SMELLS LIKE SMOKE" TO SOMEONE. I CANNOT OFFER ANY RETURNS FOR AN ITEM THAT A BUYER SAYS "SMELLS OLD" OR "SMELLS LIKE SMOKE". A LOT OF THE ITEM I OFFER ARE OLD. JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY SMOKED BACK THEN... SOME OF THE ITEMS PROBABLY SAT FOR DECADES IN OLD ESTATE HOMES WHERE THERE WAS SMOKING GOING.
