In this listing, you are purchasing previously owned Vintage toy parts and a
Blueprint. You will be receiving the following, which belongs to the GI Joe
Vehicle, Snow Cat from 1985:
One (1) "Shockwave" Electronic HE-27 250lb Missile (Part No. 4 in blueprint/
instructions. Yellow (plastic) in color.
One (1) Skid that attaches to the missile (black in color)
Please note instructions/blueprints are not included.
The pack pictured, is the exact items you will receive. Parts are made of
plastic and are originals, no reproductions! Please zoom into the pictures to
inspect the article. Also, please carefully examine condition of parts, as to
their state and what is included (i.e. whole or partial) in that part number.
Condition: Items are clean and in cared for condition. We are the original
owners of this article. These items were played with as children, so please
keep in mind they are in "played with" condition and may exhibit loose joints,
missing and/or scuffed paint and/or decals, missing accessories, and so forth,
due to age. This means there may be wear/scuffs/marks, as depicted in the
pictures. I am not an expert and do not provide "guess-timations" to grading,
as this is an area left to inspectors that evaluate such items. This is why
the article is pictured extensively and sold as-is. Items were stored inside
our home and in a plastic box, after they were kept (aged out) and never played
with again. Always within a temperature controlled environment and away from
light (closet). We do not tighten joints or alter items, so they may exhibit
some dust and in order to not cause damage, we sell the articles as-is and
leave it to the buyer's discretion in how they wish to address this. These are
vintage pieces and this is why we take this care, and never want to sell an
item that we would consider modified. You get the article just like it was when
it no longer was played with in that era. Please review pictures and
descriptions in its entirety, as they serve to inform the buyer as to the
condition of the products they are purchasing. I recommend viewing the article
on different screens to get an idea of color, hue, tone, ect., as devices tend
to have different color settings. The item(s) listed, is the item(s) you will
be receiving. Your bid confirms that you have reviewed all images in detail
and are satisfied with the item you are purchasing (i.e. assumptions have been
brought to the seller's attention by the buyer, if any). If you have inquiries
and/or need more pictures of the article(s), please reach out BEFORE placing a
bid or purchase.
Articles have always been kept in a smoke (of any kind) free environment.
Mailing Details: This item is being shipped via USPS mail (tracking with NO
coverage). I always mail items out the next available pick up date (when
possible) to expedite delivery. USPS has been running slow and sometimes fast,
it all depends on the sorting depots the parcel will travel through. Please
kindly keep this in mind when expecting your article(s). We always have items
out on the next business day, however it is not always a guarantee as it is up
to the carrier when it comes to speed of delivery.
Terms and Conditions/Return Guidelines:All items are sold as-is, with no
returns accepted due to their collectible nature and/or condition. Buyer is to
please kindly pay for the product(s) they purchase in a timely manner, within
48 hours. I, as a Seller, will provide shipping information to the buyer and a
tracking number, so they can monitor their parcel. It is the responsibility of
the buyer if they have parcels stolen (a history of and/or possibility) to
contact the carrier to put a hold on the package, if they will not be available
i.e. home) at time of delivery. Insurance is an option I can add to every
purchase, so this is a cost that is to be added to the purchase price along
with shipping costs. This means that if you desire insurance, please wait
until I send you an invoice that reflects the cost of the coverage. Please do
not assume your parcel has insurance until you receive an invoice from
us. Carriers can accidently damage packages, which is why we offer coverage
options and it is up to the buyer if they desire to gamble on accidental damage
that may be caused during transit. Coverage needed can only be determined until
AFTER the auction ends, as the scale goes by the final purchase price, but we
charge the exact amount the carrier charges.
If payment is not submitted within the allotted time period, eBay will
automatically file an "unpaid item claim". In return, we will consider the
article(s) forfeited and we will relist the item(s). We will also be forced to
unfortunately block bidders that do not abide by the listing's rules and abuse
the terms. If a member files a false "not as described/non-working/defective"
claim, the buyer will be responsible for shipping costs associated with
returning the item(s). Also, any costs associated with any damage/use (not in
the same condition it was sent) that was caused to the article when it left our
custody (up to 50% of cost, as set per eBay's TOS), shall be the buyer's
responsibility, if such action takes place. We also report such abuses to
authorities if a member attempts to "scam" by returning another item and/or
altered what was sold (i.e. mail fraud, filing a fraudulent claim with eBay,
and any other entities). Reports to law enforcement are filed in both
jurisdictions by the seller, ours and where the member resides.
We do not accept returns that are considered "buyers remorse", so please
bid/purchase responsibly. We sell collectible goods and have no intention in
selling a return that a member altered in an attempt to force a refund (not
fair to future buyers), which is why we will exercise our rights to make
ourselves whole, if an event should arise where a member is abusing and filing
a false claim. All our articles have ever had one owner and when an item is
sold and sent, it can't be restocked/resold as the "one owner" history has now
been voided when returned.
When are Returns Accepted? We error and we are fair, and will pay for the
return label, with no cost to the buyer and a full refund will be dispensed.
Again, returns are not accepted just because a change of heart, purchased the
wrong item, assumptions were made by the buyer and not addressed with the
seller, buyer did not notice a detail (or lack of), carrier lost or damaged the
item, buyer did not read the terms and conditions in its entirety........and so
forth.
Members with a zero or low feedback rating (and Bid Retractions): We will be
reaching out before the auction ends. I will be forced to cancel bids of
members that do not reply in a timely manner (or at all) and/or confirm to
follow through with their obligation to pay when the auction ends. Such
members will be blocked and reported to eBay. We will submit for an
investigation when potential and/or suspicious fraudulent accounts need a
review (IP usage that mirrors other accounts). If the account is being used as
a secondary account to "snipe" an auction (i.e. other Seller selling the same
item is trying to manipulate auctions of like kind and/or a history of bidding
on items related to one Seller ID most times). Or, members who want to use an
account to place bids they will intentionally default on because they want to
secure the item, so no one else gets it, but have not made up their mind if
they really want it ("flakes"). If a bid is retracted hours later with the
alleged excuse of "wrong amount", those members will be blocked permanently.
Please refrain from messaging us to lift restrictions if you have had too many
unpaid claims" against your account and are unable to place a bid. We do not
alter the contract by making such exceptions.
The transaction process on eBay is a simple one, and we plan to keep it as
such and fair for everyone. I do not cancel bids and/or retract bids, unless I
suspect fraud and will do my best to keep the eBay community a pleasant
experience; by removing "members" that are a potential fraud risk and/or have a
history of not following the standards set forth. You are responsible for your
own account and treat it accordingly.
