The vast majority of the items I sell are vintage and/or pre owned. I do not know what they have been exposed to or where they have been. They may have been around pets, perfumes, chemicals, or smoke.  Unless written in the description I give all items a good cleaning before offering the item on eBay for your consideration.  I also often use recycled packing materials (peanuts/popcorn, bubble wrap and boxes).  If you are highly sensitive to any of these things, I'd rather you not bid and end up unhappy.
When you receive your item please contact me with any questions and I’ll be more than happy to help you.
Please read the following:
Please ask all questions prior to bidding, making an offer or selecting "Buy It Now".  Yes, I do ship to all 50 states and internationally (with very few exceptions). International buyers are responsible for any custom fees, import tax, etc… Shipping can be high this is why I try to keep the opening bid to a very reasonable amount.  Also, the shipping is set by the carrier based on many factors such as: service, distance, weight and size.  Artwork is not inspected outside of frame unless otherwise noted in the listing.  Payment by PayPal expected within four (4) days of end of auction or "Buy It Now" is selected. Non-paying customers will be reported to eBay (sorry, but lessons learned the hard way) and placed on my block bidder list. Yes, I’ll combine shipping, handling & postage. Any special payment, shipping, packing & /or handling request must be made prior to bidding or Buy it Now. Otherwise I cannot guarantee that I can meet your request. Seller is not responsible for any damage sustained during shipping.  International orders include a small handling fee.  There are no re-negotiations of the price of the item or shipping after you have placed a bid, have the winning bid or select Buy It Now.  My items come from a smoke-free place of business; the returned item must be free of smoke.  All items are hand-washed prior to listing unless otherwise noted in above description.  By the way, if you place a bid and then retract it there is a good chance you will land up on my block bidder list – so please bid wisely.  Please see my other items offered and check back often as I have many other items to list in a wide range of categories. These items along with others are available for purchase in other venues outside of eBay.  Seller reserves the right to end this auction at any time. Thank You and Good Luck!  818.
