If your looking for something, even if it is really obscure, please contact me and I will try to find, and list, what you’re after.

The Bidding

Please note that during some of my past auctions, some under bidders have later reported to me of being 'blocked out' during the last 30 seconds or so of the auction. My advice therefore is to bid early for the following reasons.

1) By getting the auction underway I will commit to selling the particular item on eBay, as some of my items are subject to prior sale elsewhere - if no bids have been placed. I reserve the right to end the auction.

 2) Bidding early avoids any possible network and server congestion preventing your bid being accepted. Please understand that neither your ISP nor eBay’s systems are perfect and can sometimes behave strangely, especially when you need them – such is the nature of any IT system! Remember that internet protocol = IP = intermittently possible!

The Terms

Obvious really … Don’t bid unless you are going to quickly pay! An online bank account with EFT capability will help this process enormously. Or you can walk into any branch of a WESTPAC bank, fill out a deposit slip and direct deposit.

The items are available for inspection, and have been reasonably well photographed and honestly described. Ask any questions you need to before you bid, and arrange any tests or inspections beforehand.

If you don’t have a valid phone number where you can be reached after the auction, seriously consider providing this with your ebay profile, as you maybe blocked from bidding by me, & many other vendors. If you are blocked please contact me – but don’t leave it to the last hour of the auction!

Remember, as the winning buyer you have agreed to purchase the items for the final value plus stated postage.

All nuisance, non paying, or non communicating bidders will have a Non Paying Bidder dispute opened after seven (7) days from close of auction. No exceptions. Ebay can award strikes to non paying bidders, and factual –FB will be left permanently on your profile. Remember, three non paying bidder strikes and you’re membership maybe suspended.

All sales are final, no warranty, no guarantee, no returns, and no refunds; my 10 day auction allows plenty of question time …!

I’m not responsible for Australia Post delays – and I usually post well within 48hrs of funds arriving. Communication is always preferred to confrontation. Life, ebay and people are not perfect, so if there is an issue lets talk (rather than email or -FB) about it, and try to happily resolve the situation. A little patience goes a long way in the world of online trading … really!

The Payment & Delivery

EFT / direct deposit then Reg Post for stated amount. I am happy to sensibly combine similar items from current auctions, so please wait until I send a combined invoice.

I will consider delivering in the Sydney (Australia) metro area, for an additional $15 fee in lieu of the Reg Post, depending on items size and fragility.

Please ensure your current delivery address, phone & email is correct on your eBay profile!    

It’s amazing lately how many people forget to update this, which can lead to delays & delivery confusion that can be easily avoided.

I appreciate positive feedback, and will be happy to leave same after you have left yours. Please call Michael on 0402 008 531 with any questions.

Many thanks for looking; I hope you enjoy your eBay day!
