This is strictly enforced by and our policies.  So, if you have changed your address and or moved.  It is up to you to make sure you update this ASAP before you bid.  It is NOT our responsibility, so don’t take it out on our company if you have not updated your information.  If you are a regular customer of ours and we have your information and billing CC information on file, some acceptations will be made. 

Artifacts, COA’s and item information:  All artifacts and items are legally obtained.  We aim to provide the most current information about items.  We are all human, not perfect and don’t know everything.  We are ALL always learning new information.   So, if there is additional information that you can provide us, it would be helpful.  However, negative & derogatory comments/questions will not be answered and will not be tolerated & reported to ASAP.  COAs are offered on some items.  KJ’s COA’s some of our artifacts, Autographs & other collectables.  Please do note that COAs offered by us and other authenticators are our own opinion about the item being COAed.  With over 25 years of experience and information from other collectors and authenticators we achieve this information.  If we feel that an item is a reproduction, we will note this or not sell this item.    

Other terms and info:  These terms are implemented to not only to protect honest buyers but our company as well.  This is NOT a retail store!  Most items are used, vintage and collectable.  All items are sold AS IS WHERE IS to the best of our knowledge.  There are NO returns on most items. Artifacts & Some items do offer returns (please review item/s for this offering) AS a buyer it is up to YOU to ask questions, review item/s details & pictures to gather more information.  This is an AUCTION not a new item retail store.  Due to 's poor customer service, new unforgiving policies for sellers and bad buyers not reviewing items, terms, understanding how auctions work and assuming these are NEW retail items offered with a return/warranty., We have to implement these policies in place for the dishonest buyers that take advantage of the system.  It is up to you to make sure you review write up and pictured items when buying.  Please DO NOT just bid without reviewing write up/s and pictures.   KJ's Collectables aims to provide you with the most detailed information possible about items we are selling.  We by all means do not know everything but we try to provide you with the most information we can by collecting data from the internet, books, archeologists/historical groups & other collectors.  We are always more and happy to answer any questions, so ask questions.  However, inadequate or just plain ignorant questions WILL NOT be responded to.   If we are selling vintage items such as tin toys, trucks, collectables and anything past 10 years or older or used items, etc.   We try to point out all the flaws as best as possible. We are NOT going to cover items with a fine-tooth comb.  This means if there is a small chip, paint imperfection or any other flaws we didn’t see or can’t see.  It is not up to us to be a quality inspection specialist.  Come on, these are vintage items.  This NOTE: goes out to the buyers that try to take advantage of the system and or are NOT true collectors and know how vintage items work/are sold.   If an item is electronic, we will disclose if it works, has a possible problem or hasn’t been tested.  Please note: There are NO returns on electronics (new or used).  We ARE NOT the manufacture of these items.  So, we do not have the background and ability in repairing electronics, most vintage and new items, if we don’t specialize in this.    When selling sports cards, paper items, comics, non-sports cards, etc.  Our goal is to provide you with the grading quality of the items to the best of our knowledgeable opinion and tell you everything we can that may be possibly wrong with the item.  * When selling Native American Artifacts items:  I am not by any means an archeologist, biologist or is history professor but I have been collecting for 25+ years and studied this field (Not only gaining knowledge through other collections, literature but have studied this field in great detail). I do have the knowledge in identifying reproductions, approximate time periods and consulting with other collectors and dealers in providing the most adequate information possible.  Some of the artifacts were personal finds in Ohio, PA, Kentucky and Indiana.  Others were bought/traded through other collectors, auctions, flea markets and or consigned by other collectors to be sold by us.  This means that when we buy items.  We are not only buying them from reparative sellers and graders but other knowledgeable collectors as well.   I DO NOT take kindly to reproductions.  Reproductions are ruining the market for collectors like us that enjoy this hobby.     That is why KJ's Collectables guarantees every piece is authentic with money back guarantee.   If you have your artifact that you purchased from our auction and you feel it is not authentic.  We all accept ALL returns once artifact is reviewed by an authorized authenticator with a written statement that this piece is not authentic.  You may ship the item back with NO questions asked and we will refund your money in full for the item purchase price (shipping is NOT refunded). You MUST provide written proof of your documented findings and how this piece may be a reproduction before sending item back.  You can NOT just send item back just because you don't like the item or if you notice a small imperfection in the item because you did not read the description and view the pictures before buying.   Returns must be returned as sold.  This means if the item is damaged or reknapped or altered in any way, we will NOT accept your return.    We have had some buyers give their opinion and note that artifacts need mineralization in all flints found. This proves to be true in some of the much older pieces that have been in the ground longer but I have personally found items that I have not only inspected myself but had certified collectors with 50+ years’ experience inspect that say NOT all artifacts will have mineralization in them.  It can also depend upon flint used as well.  So please be sure to have these pieces inspected by a certified collector, if you are in question?  You may call or e-mail us anytime with any questions.   Number and e-mail posted on business card listed.   We would be more and happy to cover additional details/questions about items and findings. ALL of our items are a piece of history.  By NO means should history be erased.  This is the past and we shale look on to it and learn from it.  Not try to destroy it or take it as offensive.  So, if it offends you and you don’t like history.  Then we recommend a different hobby.
