I have lot of people asking about what's not perfect or is there something wrong with the piece. If its posted a perfect piece that means it was never used or looks like it just came from the store today. Not perfect means may have a small imperfection or a small defect that came from the factory that way but the piece may still have never been used. Great shape means it was a used piece that shows some wear. If the piece has something wrong with it I will post the PIC to show what it is as best I can. Hope this helps.
These items are used and due to the age in most cases vintage stuff. We try to describe as best we can. Most items I have collected come from estate sales, garage and yard sales over the years. I do not know history of any items. I do simple tests to see if an item works. If I find something is non-working or broken, I will list as such. After something leaves my hands, we have no control over it , items for refund Must arrive as sent, well packaged, if damaged, God forbid, as some of my items are one of a kind to items must have a claim filed which I will do to receive carriers claim check. not any sooner. We do not sell "junk" stuff as new. We do sell broken items as for parts or repair as someone may need these and get a great deal. Most item being used and vintage have scuffs or scratches. Any major exterior damage will be noted. I pack all items as if I would want them sent to me.
A NOTE TO MY CUSTOMERS: First of all, A very sincere "Thank You" to all my customers new and old. I wouldn't be here with you and I very much appreciate you all. Just a quick note about Ebay's "DSR system (Detailed Seller Ratings)". This "1 to 5 star" rating system for Ebay is UNLIKE any other conventional use of the 5 star system you'll ever see. In the most common uses of that system, 3 or 4 stars applied to anything is usually pretty darned good. With Ebay! ANYTHING UNDER A 4.9 is a "demerit" to the credit of the seller! YES, it's hard to believe I know. They give the sellers incentives for maintaining a 4.9 to 5.0 rating and that is taken away with anything less that an average of 4.9 to 5. In fact, anything at all under a 4.7 is an F in their use of the system in regards to us. Indeed, if I reviewed any movie or song and said "Hey, it's a 4.7 out of 5!", you'd most likely think it was great entertainment. But with Ebay's system design, it failed! Also, note that in their system, you cannot leave the seller any fraction of a number. IT's a strict 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. A "4" that might be considered pretty good in the buyers eyes, is a flunking grade to Ebay's seller incentive program! SO PLEASE PLEASE LEAVE ME 5 STARS. IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES AT ALL, I WILL MOST SURELY TAKE CARE OF IT FOR YOU! I will also leave prompt glowing feedback for you right after. Thanks for taking the time to read this silliness, and I do very much appreciate you all! My best, Jeff
