I do not claim to be an expert or appraiser in any field or for any items I sell, and determine quality and condition based on my research and best judgment. I may miss some details for which a collector would know to look for-  this should not be considered misrepresentation.

Shipping
:
I try to use recycled items for packing and shipping. These items may include boxes, brown paper bags, newspaper, shredded magazines, other paper, Styrofoam, peanuts, or additional bubble wrap. I always do my best to properly protect and wrap everything I ship out.
State taxes and ship costs:
Ebay collects all state taxes and pays the state you are in. We pay our selling fees on a percentage of all costs- which include the price you paid for the item, any state sales taxes, handing fees, and cost to ship. Therefore, approx.15%  is usually added to the ship cost and any state taxes to cover these extra ebay charges.
