‎‎***📝 IMPORTANT INFO / DISCLAIMERS 📝***

Item Condition: If this item is listed as used, it may show typical signs of wear such as scratches, nicks, rust, scuffs, or other cosmetic flaws. For items listed as new old stock (NOS), please note that packaging may show shelf wear, label residue, dust, or dents from long-term storage. NOS items may have been briefly handled or inspected over time, so minor cosmetic blemishes are possible even if the item itself is unused. I do my best to document any notable issues in the description and photos. Please review all images carefully, as they are part of the item’s full description.

Storage & Exposure: All items are stored in a clean, climate-controlled environment. However, many are vintage or pre-owned and sourced from estate sales. Because of this, I cannot guarantee their prior storage conditions or exposure history. ‎‎

Listing Photos: All photos were taken by me unless noted. Some backgrounds may be AI-generated for clarity. For single-item listings, the photos show the exact item you’ll receive. For multiple-item listings, photos are representative, but I’m happy to provide photos of the exact item upon request.

Standard Shipping & Handling: Shipping rates are calculated by the carrier based on weight, size, and distance - I do not control these costs. I carefully package all items with protective materials, including bubble wrap and sturdy boxes, to ensure safe arrival. If shipping is overpaid, I may issue a partial refund after shipment. If you have special packaging requests, please reach out before purchasing.

Carrier Flexibility: I may occasionally select a different shipping carrier than the one displayed at checkout, depending on service availability, transit speed, or packaging requirements. In all cases, your item will be shipped with tracking information and delivered within the estimated timeframe. If you have strict carrier preferences, please contact me before purchase. Substitutions will always match or exceed the service level purchased (e.g., same or faster delivery).

Returned Mail: Please ensure your address is correct at checkout, as I ship to the exact address provided. If a package is returned as undeliverable — whether due to an incorrect address or a carrier delivery issue — the buyer will be responsible for reshipping costs. I can create a custom listing to cover the additional postage. While I’m happy to reship, I unfortunately can’t absorb the cost of additional shipping in these cases.

Returns & Customer Satisfaction: All items are sold as-is, and sales are final. Returns are not accepted unless the item arrives significantly different from the description or photos (in my sole discretion), I may accept a return. Items must be returned in the same condition, and the buyer is responsible for return shipping. A 20% restocking fee applies to cover inspection, re-packaging, and relisting. If any issues arise, please contact me before leaving feedback – I want you to be satisfied with your purchase.

Taxes/Duties/Fees: Sales tax is automatically collected where applicable. For international buyers, customs fees, duties, and taxes are the buyer’s responsibility.

Authenticity & Representation: I research every item to the best of my ability and provide accurate descriptions and photos. However, I cannot guarantee precise age, origin, or authenticity unless otherwise stated. Any dates or provenance mentioned are based on publicly available information or best-faith evaluation. Buyers are encouraged to verify any critical details independently prior to purchase, especially for vintage or collectible items.

Use Liability & Risk: All items are sold as-is, without guarantees, certifications, or warranties, expressed or implied. The buyer assumes all responsibility for the safe use, handling, installation, or modification of any item purchased. The seller is not liable for any injury, damage, or loss resulting from the use or misuse of any product.

Intellectual Property Rights: I always aim to respect the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, and patents. If you believe anything in this listing infringes on your rights, please contact me directly using the “Contact Seller” link, and I will address the issue immediately.
