NO REFUNDS means NO REFUNDS!  I DO NOT participate in eBay’s refund program.  There are no warranties expressed or implied.  All items sold "as is". I make every effort to describe items to the best of my ability and to take as many photos as I deem necessary. Photos are considered part of the description, so every element of the item does not need to be written.  I am not an expert on everything I sell, & I will state this fact in my auctions, when necessary. I leave the expertise up to my bidders. Please ask questions before placing a bid, but read the description entirely before corresponding. When a bidder gives me important information, I will add it to the auction description, if possible. I will not answer questions when the information is already in the description; I will refer these questions to the auction listing for the answer.
·  I do not end my auctions early to accept offers or to set up buy it now. Please do not ask me to do so.
·  I will combine shipping if practical. If you win multiple items from my auctions on the same day, please wait for my invoice. I will try to consolidate your package and offer you a discount if possible, at my discretion. Please understand that if, for example, you buy an anvil and a set of china, they will need to be shipped separately, anyway.
·  DISCLAIMER: I sell primarily used items that are as-is, and as described.  A lot of the items I sell are 50 years old or older.  If you intend to use it, please inspect it or have it looked at by someone who knows what they’re doing.  It’s not wise to plug in a 1920s era electric fan without making sure the cord and electrical connections are safe.
