SPECIAL NOTE:
SOMETIMES I RE-USE MY OWN STOCK PHOTO RATHER THAN TAKE A NEW ONE.  THIS IS BECAUSE I MAY HAVE MORE THAN ONE OF THE SAME ITEM BEING SOLD, OR I GET THIS ITEM ON A REGULAR BASIS AND WISH TO SAVE THE TIME OF TAKING PICTURES OF THE EXACT SAME THING IN THE THE EXACT SAME CONDITION.  OCCASIONALLY MANUFACTURERS LABELS MAY VARY, BUT NEVER THE QUALITY
.
ALSO I SOMETIMES HAVE ANOTHER ITEM THAT JUST CAME IN WHICH IS THE SAME AS ONE PREVIOUSLY LISTED SO I WILL REUSE A PHOTO AND THERE MAY BE A SLIGHT VARIATION.  FOR THIS REASON I HAVE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THIS ITEM AS CLEARLY AS POSSIBLE, AND TRIED TO POINT OUT ANY IMPERFECTIONS.  MOST OF THIS YOU WOULD NORMALLY SEE, BUT I WILL STILL CALL IT TO YOUR ATTENTION.  SINCE YOU CAN'T BE HERE TO TOUCH AND CLOSELY EXAMINE IT, I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE MOST COMPLETE AND HONEST DESCRIPTION I CAN.  IF I HAVE MISSED ANYTHING, PLEASE CALL IT TO MY ATTENTION, SO I CAN UPDATE THIS AUCTION.
PLEA
SE EXAMINE MY PICTURES CLOSELY...I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS ITEM AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, AND TRIED TO POINT OUT ANY IMPERFECTIONS.  MOST OF THIS YOU WOULD NORMALLY SEE, BUT I WILL STILL CALL IT TO YOUR ATTENTION.  SINCE YOU CAN'T BE HERE TO TOUCH AND CLOSELY EXAMINE IT, I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE MOST COMPLETE AND HONEST DESCRIPTION I CAN.  IF I HAVE MISSED ANYTHING, PLEASE CALL IT TO MY ATTENTION, SO I CAN UPDATE THIS AUCTION.
POLITE NOTICE:  ALL ITEMS BEING SOLD IN MY AUCTIONS WORK/OPERATE CORRECTLY, OTHER THAN AS NOTED.  NO MATTER HOW WELL YOUR AUCTION ITEM IS PACKED, STRANGE THINGS SOMETIMES HAPPEN DURING SHIPPING.  THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE PACKER,  RATHER
IT IS THE ABUSE OF SHIPPING...NO MATTER WHICH CARRIER IS USED.  IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN THE ITEM ARRIVES, A CLAIM MUST BE MADE TO YOUR POST OFFICE...SAVE ALL THE PACKAGING, BECAUSE THAT IS REQUIRED.  PROBLEMS/DAMAGE RARELY HAPPEN, BUT THEY HAPPEN.  THE POST OFFICE IS THE BEST OF ALL THE CARRIERS AT SOLVING ANY PROBLEMS/CLAIMS.  HOPEFULLY THESE BASIC INSTRUCTIONS WILL SAVE YOU SOME OF THE HASSLE.
ALOHA E!  PLEASE PAY PROMPTLY!  ALL SALES FINAL...PLEASE REVIEW PICTURE(S) AND DESCRIPTIONS.  ASK ALL YOUR QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.  SHIPPING TO ALL 50 STATES PREFERRED.  IF YOU ARE BIDDING FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY, I PREFER TO SHIP TO YOUR FREIGHT FORWARDER IN THE UNITED STATES.  IF I SHIP DIRECTLY, EXTRA SHIPPING PER POSTAL RATE SCHEDULE APPLIES, ACTUAL COSTS TO BE DETERMINED AT END OF AUCTION.  COMBINING SHIPMENTS ENCOURAGED TO SAVE COSTS.  PLEASE INSURE (FEE WILL BE BASED ON AUCTION CLOSING VALUE), AS I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST/DAMAGED PACKAGES.  THE BUYER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CUSTOMS PROCESSING AND FEES.  MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF I ERR IN ESTIMATING SHIPPING CHARGES, I DO REFUND FOR OVER-PAYMENTS, AND I DO RE-INVOICE FOR UNDERPAYMENT BALANCES.  I RELY ON YOUR HONESTY, JUST AS YOU RELY ON MINE.
AN EDUCATIONAL NOTE ON SHIPPING:  HAWAII IS A LITTLE SPECK OF LAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A GIANT EXPANSE OF OCEAN.  WE ARE 2500 MILES
FROM THE NEAREST ANYTHING IN ALL DIRECTIONS.  WHATEVER DOESN'T ARRIVE OR LEAVE BY AIRFREIGHT IS BROUGHT IN CONTAINERS BY SHIPS.
BEACUSE OF THIS, EVERYTHING COSTS MUCH MORE HERE AND TAKES LONGER THAN IT DOES ON THE MAINLAND.  I TRY TO KEEP SHIPPING COSTS TO
A MINIMUM FOR YOU, BUT IT DOES COST MORE THAN ON THE MAINLAND BECAUSE OF OUR UNIQUE LOCATION AND SITUATION.  IF THERE IS A CHEAPER
WAY TO SHIP SOMETHING I WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO FIND IT.  HOWEVER, CHEAPER USUALLY MEANS M..U..C..H....S..L..O..W..E..R.  I DO REFUND
EXCESS SHIPPING WHENEVER POSSIBLE, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE BIDDING IN MORE THAN ONE AUCTION, SO I CAN HOLD
YOUR WON ITEMS AND COMBINE EVERYTHING AT THE END.
*MY APOLOGIES!  INSURANCE AND TRACKING IS NOW MANDATORY (FEE WILL BE BASED ON AUCTION CLOSING VALUE), AS I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR  LOST OR DAMAGED PACKAGES.
*ALSO, THANKS TO SCAMMING AND PAYPAL REQUIRING PROOF OF DELIVERY AND INSURANCE COVERAGE, THIS FEATURE/SERVICE IS NO LONGER OPTIONAL.
*MINIMUM CHARGE IS NOW .00 TO COVER BASIC COSTS, AND FINAL AMOUNT WILL BE DETERMINED BY ACTUAL VALUE OF AUCTION ITEM AT FINAL PRICE.  IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS COMPLAIN TO EBAY/PAYPAL.  I DID.  IF ENOUGH OF YOU DO TOO, MAYBE THEY WILL CHANGE THEIR POLICIES TO PROTECT THE SHIPPER AND I WON'T BE FORCED TO DO THIS.
PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE:
PROMPT PAYMENT OR DELAY NOTICE WITHIN 24 HOURS  OF INVOICING IS REQUIRED.
