Please read the section at the bottom about feedback. Insurance
is
included in shipping cost.

All

of my auctions start and end on Sunday nights (unless I goof), and
anyone who pays within 24 hours will have their packages shipped Tuesday
morning (unless I goof). Anything paid after that will go out
as soon as I get the chance, depending upon when I get the payment, my
work schedule, etc. With gas prices rising special trips to the post
office cost me more and take time away from other things. If you do not
intend to pay me within 48 hours please contact me, I’ve had some
non-payers lately so I like to know that I am going to get paid.


Because
of a
n incident in the past I feel I should state the obvious: If it isn’t pictured,
mentioned in the auction, or alluded to in ANY way, don’t expect to
receive it. This seems ridiculous to have to say, but I got a negative
for not throwing in a bunch of extra stuff, lol. No I’m not kidding…


This sign is big and fragile enough that it would be a bad idea to ship it with another item.
Please read the description carefully and look at all of the pictures.
 This sign is made of thick gauge steel with porcelain and measures about 44 1/4″ by 13 1/2″, and because of the way the edges are made about 1/2″ thick. The background is light blue porcelain and the black seems to be painted on. There is a flange on top and bottom, the top a “female” type flange, the bottom “male”, like it may have fit together with other pieces of sign, or possibly this was a salvaged cast-off piece of metal that was made to use as a CAFE sign. Either way, it’s pretty cool. It has some wear and damage, old nail holes, bending and chipping of porcelain, especially on the “E” end. When you lay it flat, or if you were to screw it to a wall it flattens out pretty good, but it likes to flex or pop back and forth because of the bending when handling it.

I’m
using the postage calculator on this, and sometimes it charges too much
for postage. If you win, expect to pay whatever it states in the
auction, and after it’s shipped I will try to catch it if there is a
substantial difference. If I don’t please contact me.

See my other auctions for all kinds of weird junk! Please ask before the s if you have ANY questions!

While my general return policy is NO RETURNS, I am VERY easy to work with and if I’ve made a mistake I will fully cover it, and if you just aren’t satisfied I will work with you as best as I can. I believe I describe my items as well as I can, and if I make a mistake I will cover it.

 FEEDBACK:

Well about
once every 2 years I run into someone completely unreasonable on here,
this last one was one of the worst. Please read the auction and look at
the pictures. if it’s not mentioned, pictured or alluded to in any way,
it’s probably not going to be in the auction. If you have a problem with
what you received, please contact me, but please don’t get nasty in the
1st email before I even get a chance to figure out what the problem is.
Getting nasty, lying to website and in feedback is childish, and in the
end won’t get you anywhere. I am so easy to work with when the person on
the other end is reasonable, but when I get called deceitful for
sending them exactly what was bought, well, it kind of takes the fun out

of this.

I have always had great feedback and will

do my very best to work with everyone. But the changes made a while back
have given those people out there with no communication skills a right
to kill. I  received some feedback  quite a while back from people who,
if they had contacted me first, there wouldn’t have been a problem. One
person even waited a week to pay me, then complained with feedback that I
was slow in shipping when I had shipped the day after receiving
payment. One fellow complained of broken pieces when I had actually just
put some extra pieces in that weren’t included in the auction in case
the buyer could salvage something. That’s the payment for trying to be
nice I guess.

In a
nutshell, if you receive something from me and are unsatisfied, please
just talk with me. Sometimes emails don’t find the person they are sent
to, so even call if you need to. I am not a cranky person, but I’m
getting there slowly as bad policy and bad communicators are hurting my
selling reputation. Thanks for your good communication in advance.
