Save your money and skip the money order. I  PREFER your personal/business check.  I do take PayPal for this item to hartzog@exonumia.com eBay WARNING! The latest scam on eBay is to offer a SECOND CHANCE offering to the underbidder, but from a different email address.  I seldom offer Second Chances, and ALL emails are from hartzog@exonumia.com . DO NOT respond to offers from any other email addresses, thanks!TERMS: By bidding in this auction, you agree to abide by the terms of eBay and specifically by these additional terms of sale. If you disagree with any terms, please write before bidding.  I might change the rules! WARRANTY:  All items are unconditionally guaranteed genuine, unless otherwise specified.  I have valid title to the items sold and the transfer of title to the buyer is rightful.  These goods sold herein are free of any security interest or other lien or encumbrance.  I warrant that the description of these goods is valid, and that the goods shall reasonably conform to the description.  Please see below for more information on descriptions of non-exonumia items.  In the event of any critical problem that I make, my sole liability is to refund your purchase price, and postage both ways, after feedback has been left. FEEDBACK:  I leave positive eBay feedback for all of my customers who pay and leave me positive feedback. By bidding, YOU agree to leave eBay positive feedback FIRST, if you are happy with your order.  I automatically and periodically post eBay positive feedback for you, AFTER you are satisfied and AFTER you leave feedback for me. By bidding on this item, you SPECIFICALLY AGREE to NOT leave negative or neutral feedback to me, or to ask Paypal (or your credit card company) for a refund for non-delivery or slow delivery by the Post Office or UPS.  In the event of non- or slow delivery, I will be pleased to provide proof of shipment via a copy of my PO receipt showing shipment to you and I will file any insurance claims.  Obviously I will work with you to provide information to the PO for insurance claims.  It is NOT my fault that the PO is slow, or has lost your package, and you specifically agree to not leave negative or neutral feedback because of their problems.  THANKS!INVOICE: I do NOT use the eBay Checkout feature.  I WILL send you an email invoice generally within 24 hours after the auction closes. Please wait for my email, thanks!  In the event you pay immediately via PayPal, and the amount is incorrect, I will re-bill you for the difference due. If you do not wait for my email invoice and you pay too much, refunds are in the form of a non-expiring credit slip, sent with your package.COMBINE and SAVE! Successful bidders on multiple auctions will usually save money on shipping costs (remind me if you get multiple lots).TAX: Buyer is to pay 8.25% IL sales tax (if shipped to an IL address, unless you have a resale number).SHIPPING COST: Buyer is to pay USPS or UPS shipping/handling/insurance, usually specified in the above description.  Delivery Confirmation is generally included in the postal cost if insurance is not selected.IF Shipping is NOT STATED above, or for heavy items that vary greatly based on distance: Buyer is to pay USPS postal shipping/handling. Insurance is optional on items under about $25, but required over $25. Minimum shipping cost is $.50. Insurance up to $50 is $1.70, up to $100 is $2.15, etc.   If you do not pay for insurance, your item will be sent uninsured at your riskSIGNATURE CONFIRMATION is REQUIRED (as well as insurance) on all packages valued over $100.  The fee is $2.20 for SC.I do charge a very modest packing fee on items needing careful handling and packing, or if I have to buy a box/mailer, generally specified above. Buyer assumes ALL liability for loss or damage to item, unless sent insured (if you don't pay for insurance, and it is lost/damaged, you are out of luck, sorry!).  POSTAGE PROBLEMS:  The eBay system sometimes will show a somewhat different postage cost than my end of sale email via Blackthorne.  This is particularly true with the new PO rates for heavy items sent via Priority Mail.  REGARDLESS of whatever email is sent to you, IF the postage cost for your item is substantially different from what you paid for, I reserve the right to either ship at a cheaper rate to stay within your amount paid, or to re-bill you for the additional cost.  I'll eat the cost if the difference is modest, but I am NOT responsible for big differences.  PLEASE EMAIL me with your zip-code or country, in advance for an exact postage quote if you have any questions.TRACKING:  Generally most uninsured packages worth about $10 or more are sent with a USPS Delivery Confirmation bar-code at no extra cost.  If your package has not arrived within 45 days after shipment, I will be pleased to dig up the Insurance or Delivery Confirmation number and provide it to you.  Due to the often slow delivery of the mail, and the 15-30 minutes required to research your number, I greatly prefer to not provide numbers prior to 45 days, as 99% of the time, the package arrives within this period (US delivery). ITEMS OVER $100:  ALL items valued at over $100 MUST include SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION at $2.20 additional cost (which will probably NOT show up in the automated eBay shipping estimates).   This is especially required for items paid via PayPal.SHIPPING METHOD: Unless specified above, I generally ship promptly via the CHEAPEST RATE, using the Post Office. Book rate (Media Mail) is now very slow, often taking up to a month and sometimes more.  I can ship Priority Mail at additional cost.  I am NOT liable for any problems caused by slow delivery by the Post Office. SHIP-TO ADDRESS:  I now have a LABEL MACHINE and cut/paste your name/address from your PayPal payment email, or the eBay email, directly to the label.  Obviously it will print out exactly as it appears in the email.  Many PayPal addresses are improperly formated and you may wish to correct any errors.  If your package cannot be delivered as addressed and is returned, you will need to pay for the additional postage to resend it.  Delivery  to a different address will be considered on a case-to-case basis (as PayPal insurance does not cover me if sent to a non-PayPal address). FedEX or UPS:  I will ship via FedEx or UPS to a US street address at a minimum charge of $40 (includes same-day delivery to the FedEx or UPS office, 25 miles round-trip).PICK UP in ROCKFORD, IL: YES, you can pick up this item in Rockford, at NO extra charge.  My shipping cost covers SHIPPING. Pick up and SAVE!  I do NOT have a store, but I can arrange to leave this item at a local shop for you to pick up and pay for during normal business hours, Monday to Saturday.  I do NOT accept PayPal for any item picked up in Rockford, please contact me for payment options.  Email and I'll send the link to the address and a map.International Shipment: YES: I happily ship world-wide and I appreciate your international business. My end-of-sale e-mail notification with shipping cost assumes you are in the U.S. Your international postage WILL be higher.  I do prefer bank check, PayPal payment or other valid funds on international orders. Personal checks may be held until cleared. All broker fees, taxes and duties are to be paid by the buyer.  Generally with the new postage rates, MOST items will cost $12 to $20 or more to ship.  If your item is lightweight, I can often save you money on the automated postage quote by eBay.REGARDLESS of the eBay price shown for non-US shipment, your cost may vary.  WRITE FIRST for an good-faith estimate, or wait for my end-of-sale email with an exact price.  The eBay calculations are often NOT correct.NOTE: International shipment can be SLOW, often taking three months or more to arrive. All items over $25 MUST be sent insured, and are sent at buyer's risk. I am unable to offer refunds for non-delivery, or slow delivery, Sorry!International Buyers Paying by PayPal:  Depending on the buyer, amount and country, I reserve the right to wait for PayPal payments to clear, which will take at least 30 days.JAPAN Shipment: YES:  I do ship to Japan (and the World), and can use us-buyer.com .SHIPMENT DATE:  I generally ship on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, as it is now a 20 mile round trip to the Post Office.FUNDS: Payment must be in USA Dollars. I can now accept EUROS and POUNDS if paid via PayPal.  I will accept other currency, but the buyer must pay any fees involved for a net payment in dollars.PAYMENT:  I usually SHIP IMMEDIATELY with your personal check, money order, cashiers check or PayPal.I PREFER your personal check. Please contact me for other payment methods and costs.  I will work with selected escrow services.  I will consider time payments on more expensive items. Please make counter-offers for items not reaching minimums or reserves.  I reserve the right to hold checks until cleared, but generally will ship upon receipt of payment.  PayPal payments from non-verified buyers may possibly be delayed. PayPal PAYMENTS:  By buying this eBay item, you SPECIFICALLY agree to NOT ask PayPal or your credit card company for a charge-back in the event of slow or non-arrival of your item, provided I can offer proof of shipment and/or delivery.  If your item was shipped with insurance, I am happy to file a claim for non-delivery.  The Post Office REQUIRES 30 days after shipment prior to filing a claim, and it can take another 30 days or more prior to payment on any claim.  Again, it is NOT my fault that USPS/UPS is often slow in delivery, and you specifically agree that slow or non-delivery is NOT my fault and you will not file any PayPal/credit-card charge-backs OR file any eBay neutral or negative feedback. PROOF of DELIVERY:  By buying this eBay item, you SPECIFICALLY agree that USPS Delivery Confirmation or bar-coded Insurance is full and adequate proof of delivery, for any dispute with eBay and/or PayPal over any claim for non-delivery.  If you do not purchase Insurance, Certified Mail or Return Receipt for Merchandise, you specifically agree to not file a claim for non-delivery with eBay and/or PayPal.  Please note I am quite willing to provide a photocopy of the Postal receipt showing date and time of shipment of your item to you, after 45 days after shipment, to allow for slow delivery by the Post Office (longer for non-US shipments).DESCRIPTION:   I attempt to be accurate in my descriptions, but I do not know the grading terms and standards for non-exonumia items. NOTE my subjective and qualitative grading and condition descriptions are just that. They are my opinion and not meant to be a definitive description. These statements are made as personal impressions and an honest attempt to describe this item from a lay person's point of view.  If my description is not sufficient for you, please feel free to contact me for more information.STORAGE--PACKAGING--PHOTOS: While I maintain a smoke free and pet free house, I obtain merchandise from a variety of sources, and some items may have residual odor.  I generally attempt to over-pack your item, so it will arrive in perfect condition. Photographs are digitally enhanced to reveal details and colors will vary depending on your monitor. While generally photos are of the item being sold, in some cases I have duplicates, and the photo may be of the original (especially on books). On duplicate items, there may be minimal differences, if any. GENUINE GUARANTEE:  I fully warrant all items I sell on eBay are genuine, original items, unless otherwise stated in the description. ID VERIFY: Yes, I have been VERIFIED by eBay, and by Paypal. ENRB: eBay Numismatic Seller Registration Board: YES, I am a member and agree to their terms for all items. RETURNS on SILVER SETS:  On any item made of silver or gold there is ABSOLUTELY NO RETURN WHATEVER if the scrap value of the set on the date of sale was within 25% over the 'melt' value, and the price of the metal has dropped.  I cannot guess the future, metal values might go up or they might go down, both are at YOUR risk or reward.REFUNDS: Not happy with your purchase? My apologies! If you have any problem with your purchase, I will work hard to make it right. If I made a mistake, I will refund your FULL purchase price, including postage both ways, and any fees incurred. Refunds are made only AFTER you leave me positive feedback on eBay. Sorry, I am unwilling to give a refund, AND leave myself open to negative feedback!  I trust you understand.   If you made the mistake, I do not refund postage or eBay/PayPal fees, sorry!  I do NOT guarantee to make refunds if you have made a mistake, but if you did, please promptly email and explain the situation.
