Description

Higher grade set.

 We strive to provide an accurate description of all items. PLEASE, please, please EMAIL OR CALL with any additional questions you may have. Keep in mind, you are bidding on a vintage item - expect natural aging....look at the large pictures provided. Also, please be aware that close up pictures might emphasize dust and minor imperfections that you won't see with the naked eye. Most of our items are from 30 to 50 years old and will have some degree of stress cracks, crazing, etc. Expect them. We do not highlight 'typical wear' unless we feel it is out of the norm. Additionally, wires get brittle, rubber dry rots, strings get frail. Talking mechanisms go mute. Battery operated items stop working. All our items are sold for display purposes only.  We will always tell you the operability of items in our possession - but we cannot, in any way, offer any guarantees of their continued operability.

WHAT FOLLOWS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING SPECIFIC in this listing

 

Payment Policy Payment is due within 2 days of auction close or date of purchase - EXCEPTION: if payment is snail mailed, we request it to be mailed within 2 business days. Ebay defaults to only online  payments but we have no problem with personal checks or money orders. Just be sure to tell us you're sending one and note that checks are held up to 10-15 days to clear. We will ONLY ship to shipping address listed on payment. This is an eBay mandatory requirement. Please be sure to select the appropriate address when making payment. Shipping Policy We will ONLY ship to shipping address listed on the payment page (this is an eBay requirement). We can't change this - be sure the correct shipping address is selected when paying. We do not charge packing nor handling fees. Signature required on all packages over $500. Combined shipping: Yes, we combine shipping and ship at exact cost. Please request invoice prior to payment (or it will cost you a little more due to eBay's fee structure) Shipping Time: Our normal shipping days are Tuesdays and Fridays. There is a one business day processing time needed for shipments (ie items paid by midnight Sunday will go out Tuesday. We try to get most items paid on Monday shipped on Tuesday - but if time doesn't permit, please don't expect package to ship until Friday). Damaged in Shipping/Returns & Refund Policy

Damaged Items: If an item arrived damaged, contact us immediately. Please be sure to retain ALL packaging including the box and packing materials, and we will file an insurance claim for you.

Returns: Due to the nature of vintage and collectible items, there are no returns. Everything is sold AS-IS. Buyer is responsible for reading description and reviewing large pictures provided. The pictures are comprehensive - if it's not in the picture, it's not included. The items we sell are vintage collectables so expect natural aging/wear.  However, we will consider a return if there was a significant oversight in listing. Please contact us for authorization. Buyers would be responsible for ALL return shipping and insurance costs. Insurance would be required and must cover the eBay final bid price. Changes of heart (ie buyer's remorse) will never be a legitimate return reason. We will not consider for return any 'sealed' item which has been open by buyer - regardless of contents. We also reserve the right to charge a 15% restocking fee for returns or order cancellations - at our discretion. We do NOT offer partial refunds.

International Orders

We REALLY love selling internationally. We've met many people through the years and many have become our dearest friends.  Your business is important and valuable to us. However, please do not purchase, if you are unable to comply with the following:

WE DO NOT FALSIFY CUSTOMS FORMS.
Please do not ask us to put down a false amount or classify as a gift. It is the buyer's responsibility to know and pay all their own country's duty/import taxes and fees.

NOTE (March 2023): Due to the extremely punitive nature of selling internationally on eBay, we had severely restricted our international shipping to just Canada and Japan. In 2022, eBay announced the institution of new international shipping policies that looked very promising. Unfortunately, eBay made it an 'invitation only' and we had to wait until they decided to make the program available to us. Which they just did! We look forward, to once again, servicing our international customers!

Our eBay Gripes and Complaints! For those of you who missed all the fun - eBay decided to punitively punish us for 9 months as we refused to sign up for their "managed payments" plan - in which eBay hijacked our payments in order to charge us a fee for access to OUR money when we wanted - instead of when they decide to give it to us. We finally relented when they pulled the plug on ALL our active listings (during this time, we couldn't add or edit listings but could let our normal store items "ride"). But eBay has become a very hostile environment for small business sellers - especially vintage dealers whose business model doesn't fall in line with eBay's forced one-size-fits-all-we-really-want-to-be-just-like-Amazon model. We have been ramping up our presence in other venues - where sales tax isn't collected and we can offer better pricing. Enterprising souls can find us easily by internet searching 'L & L Collectables, San Jose'. Look for us - our eBay inventory is also there - along with non-eBay items. In the meantime, feel free to purchase items here on eBay if you like.
