WARRANTY: All items are unconditionally guaranteed genuine, unless otherwise specified. I have valid title to the items sold and the transfer of title to the buyer is rightful. These goods sold herein are free of any security interest or other lien or encumbrance. I warrant that the description of these goods is valid, and that the goods shall reasonably conform to the description. In the event of any critical problem that I make, my sole liability is to refund your purchase price, and postage both ways, AFTER eBay feedback has been left for me.
FEEDBACK: I leave positive eBay feedback for all of my customers who pay and leave me positive feedback. By buying this item, YOU agree to leave eBay positive feedback FIRST, if you are happy with your order. I automatically and periodically post eBay positive feedback for you, AFTER you are satisfied and AFTER you leave feedback for me. By bidding on this item, you SPECIFICALLY AGREE to NOT leave negative or neutral feedback to me, or to ask Paypal (or your credit card company) for a refund or charge-back for non-delivery or slow delivery by the Post Office or UPS. In the event of non- or slow delivery, I will be pleased to provide proof of shipment via a copy of my PO receipt showing shipment to you and I will file any insurance claims (GUARANTEE: YOU WILL GET A FULL REFUND on any Lost package). Obviously I will work with you to provide information to the PO for insurance claims. It is NOT my fault that the PO is slow, or has lost your package, and you specifically agree to not leave negative or neutral feedback because of their problems. THANKS!
COMBINE and SAVE! Successful buyers of multiple items will usually save money on shipping costs. If you buy two or more items with FREE SHIPPING, I will generally send a rebate in the form of a non-expiring CREDIT SLIP with your package!
SALES TAX: Buyer is to pay 8.25% IL sales tax (if shipped to an Illinois address, unless you have a resale number).
eBAY Critical Item Information: SHIPPING SERVICE and COST: Generally I ship via US Post Office with CHEAPEST METHOD. The USA cost can be seen in the Shipping Cost (and see below for more information). Contact me for non-US shipping estimates.
HANDLING TIME: Generally I go to the Post Office on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Consequently the usual handling time will be zero to two days from receipt of payment (three days for payments arriving on late on Friday). If I have a large amount of items to ship, I often will make a special trip to get your package shipped even faster.
RETURN POLICY: RETURNS on SILVER and GOLD ITEMS: NO RETURNS on Gold and Silver On any item made of silver or gold there is ABSOLUTELY NO RETURN WHATEVER if the price on the date of sale was within 100% over the 'melt' value, and the price of the metal has dropped. I cannot guess the future, metal values might go up or they might go down, both are at YOUR risk or reward.
RETURN POLICY: REFUNDS on OTHER ITEMS: Not happy with your purchase? My apologies! If you have any problem with your purchase, I will work hard to make it right. FULL 14 Day Return! If I made a mistake in the listing or the item, I will refund your FULL purchase price, including postage both ways, and any fees incurred. Refunds are made only AFTER you leave me positive feedback on eBay. Sorry, I am unwilling to give a refund, AND leave myself open to negative feedback! I trust you understand. If you made a mistake or are just not happy, I generally do not refund the shipping cost, sorry!
OWNERSHIP and RESPONSIBILITY: Upon my delivery to the shipping carrier, YOU own the item. I regret I have no control over any problems (damage, item lost, etc.) with the shipping company. SHIPMENT WARRANTY: I FULLY WARRANT you will GET your package, or I will give your MONEY BACK. You must complete all Postal Insurance Loss forms prior to any refund. If the Post Office has LOST or DAMAGED your item, I will send you a FULL REFUND and a $10.00 CREDIT on any future order, to partially cover your aggravation and time spent filling out postal forms, with my apologies.
ALMOST 100% DELIVERY! In the past 5 years, I've only had ONE lost package! The Post Office is sometimes SLOW, taking up to 5 to 6 WEEKS for MEDIA MAIL (up to 4 MONTHS for non-US shipments). KEEP THE FAITH if your package does not arrive quickly!
SHIPPING COST: Buyer is to pay USPS or UPS shipping/handling, usually specified in the above description.
LOWER COST SHIPPING to CANADA and the WORLD: Regardless of what eBay says the postage is, PLEASE NOTE I can generally ship for the following amounts. CONTACT ME for an exact quote, I'm happy to COMBINE purchases and save you money. A few light tokens/medals: $3.00 Lightweight booklet or item: $5-8.00 Books or items in Flat-Rate Envelope, up to 4 pounds: $15.00 Larger, heavier or bulky items: $27-38 up
DELIVERY CONFIRMATION: Generally most packages worth about $10 or more are sent with a FREE USPS Delivery Confirmation bar-code at no extra cost to you.
SHIPPING METHOD: Book rate (Media Mail) is now very slow, often taking up to a month and sometimes more. I can ship Priority Mail at additional cost. I am NOT liable for any problems caused by slow delivery by the Post Office. If you need your item quickly, please use Priority Mail, at extra cost.
SHIP-TO ADDRESS: I now generally use PayPal USPS shipping or a LABEL MACHINE and cut/paste your name/address from your PayPal payment email, or the eBay email, directly to the label. Obviously it will print out exactly as it appears in the email. Many PayPal addresses are improperly formatted and you may wish to correct any errors in your eBay/Paypal accounts. If your package cannot be delivered as addressed and is returned to me, you will need to pay for the additional postage to resend it. Delivery to an alternative address will be considered on a case-to-case basis (as PayPal insurance does not cover me if sent to a non-PayPal address). In the event you need delivery to a different address, BE SURE to send me an email on this, not a note in the Paypal payment.
FedEX or UPS: I will ship via FedEx or UPS to a USA street address at a minimum charge of $30 (includes same-day delivery to the FedEx or UPS office, 25-30 miles round-trip). Contact me for an exact price. If you supply a FedEx/UPS shipping account, I can drop it off at NO extra charge.
PICK UP in ROCKFORD, IL: YES, you can pick up this item in Rockford, at NO extra charge. My shipping charge covers SHIPPING. Pick up and SAVE! I do NOT have a store, but I can arrange to leave this item at a local shop for you to pick up and pay for during normal business hours, Monday to Saturday. I do NOT accept PayPal for any item picked up in Rockford, please contact me for payment options. Email me and I'll send the link to the address and a map.
International Shipment: YES: I happily ship world-wide and I appreciate your international business. Your international postage WILL be higher than shipping costs to the US. FREE SHIPPING: Items marked FREE SHIPPING are free to the USA, your cost WILL be higher to a non-US address. REGARDLESS of the eBay price shown for non-US postage, your cost may vary. WRITE FIRST for an good-faith estimate, or wait for my end-of-sale email with an exact price. The eBay calculations are often NOT correct. NOTE: International shipment can be SLOW, often taking three months or more to arrive. All items over about $20 will be sent via REGISTERED MAIL, and are sent at buyer's risk. I am unable to offer refunds for slow delivery, Sorry! If you prefer to have your item sent via a cheaper rate, CONTACT ME. Expensive items may be shipped via next-day FedEx or UPS, at a higher cost to the buyer.
International Buyers: Please Note: Customs Fees: All broker fees, taxes and customs duties, Import duties, and other Customs charges are NOT included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility and vary from country to country. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up. Please do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. I have no control over any Customs Fees, sorry! You specifically agree that my TOTAL LIABILITY in case of loss is limited to the the VALUE you specified on the package for Customs. In the event the Post Office has a limit on Insurance, my TOTAL LIABILITY is limited to the amount of Insurance, regardless of the amount paid.

Please note I am quite willing to provide a photocopy of the Postal receipt showing date and time of shipment of your item to you, after 50 days after shipment, to allow for slow delivery by the Post Office (longer for non-US shipments).
DESCRIPTION: I attempt to be accurate in my descriptions, but I do not know the grading terms and standards for non-exonumia items. NOTE my subjective and qualitative grading and condition descriptions are just that. They are my opinion and not meant to be a definitive description. These statements are made as personal impressions and an honest attempt to describe this item from a lay person's point of view. If my description is not sufficient for you, please feel free to contact me for more information.
STORAGE--PACKAGING--PHOTOS: While I maintain a smoke free and pet free house, I obtain merchandise from a variety of sources, and some items may have residual odor. I generally attempt to over-pack your item, so it will arrive in perfect condition. Photographs are digitally enhanced to reveal details and colors will vary depending on your monitor. While generally photos are of the item being sold, in some cases I have duplicates, and the photo may be of the original (especially on books). On duplicate items, there may be minimal differences, if any.
