...and now I have some silver, early firearms magazines (that’s printed magazines, not parts of guns magazines!), vintage Mason jars, craft items and supplies, jewelry, early kitchen gadgets and crockery, vintage craft patterns, still more books, and lots more stamps, coins, and tokens...

Shipping & Handling: I know some sellers say “as-is” and “no-returns,” but I’m not sure that’s even legal. The way I see it, it’s my job to describe my items accurately, provide pictures that show them as they are, answer any remaining questions, and get your purchases to you in a timely manner (I ship within 2 business days of receiving cleared payment). If your expectations aren’t met, I want to know about it so I can make it right. In other words, Please Contact Me if there’s a problem... BEFORE leaving feedback.

Just as your responsibility is to pay for your purchases in a timely manner—in 2-3 days for electronic payments—and please let me know if you’re mailing payment, so I know I'll need to allow extra time for it to reach me.

For US payments (with shipment to US addresses), I accept PayPal, Google Checkout, money orders, checks, and cash (well-concealed, sent at your own risk). No live chickens, please! Items paid by personal (or business) check may take as long as 10 business days to clear, all others will ship within 2 business days of payment receipt.

If you’re buying more than 1 type of item, please be aware that Combining Shipment is not always possible. For books, videos, and CDs, I use USPS Media Mail, which does not allow any other type of items to be included in the package. I also use First Class Mail for lighter items, Priority Mail if you’re in a hurry and willing to pay for it, and Parcel Post if you’re okay with “slow boat” delivery of items that don’t qualify for Media Mail.

For International (non-US) payments, I accept PayPal, International Money Order (in US funds), or cash (US funds, again, well-concealed, sent at your own risk). International shipping is expensive (no surface options through the US Postal Service anymore), and varies greatly by weight and destination. It can be much less expensive to send your items separately. So if you have questions about combining items for International shipment, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BUYING or BIDDING (leave a question on my listing page).

In the US, I can ship most single magazine issues via USPS First Class Mail for $3.00; up to 3-4 issues by USPS Priority Mail for $5.00. For multiple issues, Media Mail is less expensive, but also takes longer. For International (non-US) destinations, see Calculated Shipping for your location.
