VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION - READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please email with all questions before bidding. Additional pics furnished on request - I will need your email to furnish these.  If you do not want insurance I will require an email refusing it and stating that you are willing to assume the risk in shipping otherwise your invoice will reflect insurance charges. International buyers -- I will need to know your country in order to calculate shipping costs if you want your item sent any other way than Priority International or without insurance. I ship only on Mondays and Fridays - combine shipping and safe.  As far as shipping is concerned, once it leaves my hands I cannot control the time of arrival, condition of the package or any other mistakes the carrier might make.  I describe all items to the best of my ability and according to what I believe to be their condition, so if you have specific questions, please ask them before bidding. (DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL I SEND AN INVOICE (I DO THIS WITHIN 2-3 DAYS OF THE AUCTION ENDING). I charge a nominal handling fee - packing is very very expensive and often my handling fee does not even cover its costs so if you are unwilling to pay such a fee, please do not bid. REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT BIDDING ON NEW ITEMS THEY ARE ALL PRE-OWNED. Thanks for bidding. Unfortunately "bad apples" make it difficult for everyone, therefore, I can no longer leave feedback until each transaction is satisfactorily completed.  Place a Bid!
