Buyers please note:

All buyers – If you see something of interest in my listings, please don’t hesitate to make an offer. I believe I have priced my items fairly; however, I don’t always get it right. Feel free to contact me or submit a reasonable offer and I will give it serious consideration. I’m here to sell at the end of the day.

International buyers – Due to the way eBay handles international transactions, postage is charged on a per-item basis. I understand this can be frustrating if you wish to purchase more than one item. If you would like multiple items, please contact me with the item numbers and I will combine them into a single listing. This will reduce the overall postage and handling costs into one transaction.

Thank you for looking at my items.
