We strive to be fair and forthright with our descriptions and condition reports, however bidders must acknowledge that antique items, guns and artwork often show normal signs of use and wear, which might not be specified in a condition report. If you have very particular taste, it is advisable that you inspect items in person, as your definition of condition may be more exacting than ours. All statements by us in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statement of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by us of any kind. References in the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only.

No statement (oral or written) in this catalog, at the sale, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation, or any assumption of responsibility. All measurements are approximate. Antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use.

NO IN HOUSE SHIPPING - THIS IS A NOTE FROM THE LOCAL SHIPPER:
Once the lot/s have been paid for, Paul or his team bring the lots to Goin' Postal for us to pack and calculate shipping options.
Once we receive the item/s with the lots we look for the least expensive options for getting them shipped to you. When we have figured the different options available we will either - EMAIL or CALL, you letting you know to (get in touch with us) to verify that the, ship to, address that is provided on the invoice is correct and where you want it sent. We will ask if you want to have the shipment fully insured or ship it with the Carrier Provided Insurance - if any comes with it. PS - International shipments require us to fill out the customs forms so we need to ask a number of questions and make you aware of the choices and costs.
Once all the questions have been answered we will ask for payment for the packing and shipping. We accept: Cash, Checks, Visa, MC, Discovery, American Express & PayPal. If you choose PayPal we will send you an invoice. We will need your email associated with your PayPal account. Once we've sent your item/s we email you the tracking info.
PS-many buyers have let us know that sometimes they need to look at their Spam Folder. Some have their phones linked to the email so they are the fastest at getting email notices. If you add our email to you system our emails shouldn't go to the spam folder, email contact is below.
For those looking for an approximation of what shipping might be before you bid you can use the contact info below. We would need you to provide you with an approximate Weight, Size and ship to zip code. I also helps us know what it is so we can figure what we might need to add for packing. We may not be spot on but we will be pretty close on our guess-ta-mation. We've been working with Paul for about 15 years so we've seen a thing or two.
