If this auction does not have a buy it now option please do not ask me to add one. Due to an increase in these requests I will no longer respond to people that want me to end an auction and sell to them. This is an auction and interested parties have a right to expect a fair chance to bid. I will not end an auction early so please do not make an offer. Thanks.
I usually ship every day Monday through Friday (weather permitting). Items paid for on Friday after I have left for the post office will be sent on Monday. Most items will be mailed within 24 hours of the Paypal payment.
Please note that Ebay will no longer allow sellers to offer optional insurance. Nor will they allow insurance to be required and calculated at the end of the auction. Therefore on items which are fragile or expensive I have to include the cost of insurance with shipping. So, if the shipping seems high it is due to the cost of insurance. I do not charge for handling and only add a small amount to cover supplies.
