A series of essays:

Contents

  1. Purity and Pornography
    • An excerpt:  "If one should drop into this country from Mars or fly to it from a land in which American papers and magazines are unknown, he might easily believe that we are deluged with pornography, that we are constantly debating what we shall do to be saved, and sporadically trying to make laws that will spare the coming generation contact with lewdness, obscenity, and immorality in literature.  He would not be further from the truth if he believed himself in heaven.  There have always been in the world persons who think they are their brother's keeper..."

We’ve had multiple buyers claim that their children were able access their account and make and pay for unauthorized purchases.  We hope that you have taken steps so that this doesn’t happen to you.  A security Best Practice is not to remain signed into your account all of the time, but to log in as needed.  It may also be prudent to “unlink” your account with your payment source, if you allow anyone else to use your account.  If a child can get access to your account and make a purchase without your knowledge, your child may need supervision while online so he or she doesn’t fall victim to a cyber-predator.  Keeping your children safe online is more important than keeping your cyber-wallet safe, but please pay attention to both.

 

Our No Return No Cancellation Policy is in writing.  If you’ve read this far, you’ve read the policy.  Sometimes generates text for our listings where the information provided about our Return and Cancellation Policy is different.  The official policy is the one you’ve just read.

 

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - PLEASE NOTE:

 

Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

 

Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.

 

Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.

 

We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws.

 

During peak shipping times, it may take weeks to have your item clear customs.  We’ve had some items arrive in Europe in a week, but a package to South America once took six weeks to arrive!

 

Restrictions in your country may not allow us to ship certain items. 

 

Many countries do not allow shipments of coins or precious metals, for example.  Some media, including computer software, music CDs or DVDs may be restricted for sale outside the United States.

 

VHS and DVDs are formatted differently for different countries.

 

If you are purchasing a VHS videotape, please note the format your machine requires before you make your purchase.  Most of our tapes are NTSC format (it is specified in the listing what the format is) which will not work in most video players in Europe and Australia.  We routinely contact anyone overseas who purchases a VHS video to ask them to check if their machine can play an NTSC tape before we ship. 

 

Many DVDs also have a specific format by country.  If you are purchasing a DVD, please make sure the DVD is a format that will play in your machine.
