ITEM DESCRIPTION6899 Nebula Outpost, Space, Exploriens, 1996 156 pieces, 2 minifigs, MSRP 15 USD
A classic Space set from back when the actually designed rockingly great sets with just a few special elements, this set builds an awesome outpost with lots of trans blue and white (the Exploriens theme colors). It will give you lots of fun play. This set is built with lots of basic parts, not specialty pieces. There are not very many copies of this set kicking around any more, and if you go to other venues you'll find it for quite a bit more than my reserve (I've seen it as high as 30).
SET DESCRIPTION A multistory outpost/observation base for hostile environments. The set uses lots of curved and angled elements to seem a lot bigger than it is. Two Exploriens spacemen are hard at work discovering the secrets of the planet they're on
SPECIAL ELEMENTSLots of white slopes, old style hinges in white and black, corridor elements, canopies, and lots of trans neon green parts, round dishes in several colors, spacey accessories, and other great stuff. Check the inventory of awesome parts for yourself at the Peeron (www.peeron.com/inv/sets/6899-1) Inventory page
SUGGESTION Consider getting this great set along with 6455 Space Simulation Station from my store if it's still available!
ITEM CONDITIONYou are buying a brand new copy, never opened. However, the box has been kicking around for a while and IS somewhat beat up. You take missing piece risk though. Of course this is very unlikely. (note, sealed box surcharge and other terms given there do not apply, these boxes are sealed) The bonus set is also MISB but has quite a bit of shelfwear.
SHIPPINGYour bid does not include shipping and handling. This is a small sized set and shouldn't be too bad to ship. Insurance at winner's option and expense, but fairly strongly recommended. US shipping and handling for uninsured Priority Mail as specified below. Add 3 dollars for 0-99 USD insurance, 4 for 100-199. Sorry, no non US bidders. Those that want different insurance, we will work out shipping after you win. I do offer discounts on S&H for multiple lot winners.

My Policies
(Please read these carefully, as the answers to many common questions are in these policies)
|
Payment
Headline: PayPal payment only, US funds only.
- At this time PayPal is the only payment form I accept.
- Payments must be in United States Dollars.
- You must be a verified buyer.
- You are paying to a Business account, so cash or credit card payments are both accepted and there is no advantage to me for one kind or the other.
- I get a lot of requests to pay other ways. I'm on a time budget and while I realise that refusing these requests may be costing me some sales, it's just too much trouble to deal with. Paying with PayPal means no traveling to cash things, the payment is there, and your address is linked in so I can print a shipping label from within eBay.
|
Shipping
Headline: Paypal Confirmed Address only, don't trust eBay inserted text.
- Shipping is as listed at the bottom (eBay generated). If the listing has a shipping amount which conflicts with the bottom amount, the bottom amount governs (please point this out if you spot it, thanks!)
- I will only ship to the PayPal Confirmed Address associated with the account. If you do not have a Confirmed Address it means the shipment is not eligible for Seller Protection. Please make sure you have a Confirmed Address before you bid or there will be a delay while you get one.
- USPS is my preferred shipper. Except in extraordinary circumstances I will not ship any other way than USPS Priority Mail. If you wish to make other arrangments contact me in advance of bidding (please don't ask AFTER winning or purchasing) but expect that I probably will decline.
- The shipping charges I set are given with each lot. The charge is an estimate of what it will cost, with a margin added to cover packing material and other costs, as well as to allow me to average out the cost if I underestimate on some shipments.
- I do combine shipping costs, if you buy more than 3 lots, I may be willing to discuss further discounts from the eBay calculated combined shipping already built into the process. However, all lots to be combined must all be paid for in one payment to be eligible for combined shipping.
- At this time I do not ship outside the US in every case. If you are an overseas bidder you will have to have a US shipping address. Sorry, but I'm on a time budget and while I realise that may be costing me some sales, it's just too much trouble to deal with. Restricting shipping to the US means I don't have to deal with customs forms and can print a shipping label from within eBay.
- I do not ship every day. Most weeks I only ship once a week. As I ramp up, and as my wife gets more comfortable with the process, we may increase frequency, but I use Priority Mail for the convenience to me, not because I'm committing to a very speedy process. If you're really in a hurry you may want to buy from other sellers.
- eBay has started inserting shipping time text in listings without approval from sellers, making claims about shipping times that just aren't true in the real world. Please be cautious when planning for rush deliveries, if you need it fast, ask your seller first.

Elapsed Times
Headline: I may only ship once a week, if speed is needed contact me first or consider other sellers.
- I am a consultant. That means sometimes I am away from home for many days. This sometimes impacts times to do things like pack orders, calculate shipping, process payments and the like, but I usually check email every day.
- I think it is important to acknowledge orders received within a short (3 day) limit. I will do everything I can to abide by that. If for some reason I haven't acknowledged your order within 7 days I feel you are well within your rights to request a cancel and I will honor it without penalty. But please do give me a bit of leeway. Further, if you're not seeing me post to various LEGO discussion sites like LUGNET, maybe I am having technical problems. That's VERY unlikely but don't rule it out. In that case (only) try using eBay messaging. But use regular email for regular communication please.
- As I said, it may take me extra time to do things. I will try very hard to keep you in the loop. But once we've communicated, I assume you intend to complete the order. So please don't enter into an bid or deal with me if you are uncomfortable with delays. Sometimes things happen. I will not honor cancel requests (after we've communicated) for reasons of slowness or because you got the items somewhere else. A eBay auction win or buy it now purchase or store purchase is a binding contract and I will hold you to it.
- I expect you to contact me in a timely manner and make payment arrangements. I will start the "strike" process against you if you don't make some effort to contact me in a reasonable timeframe and keep me in the loop.
- If you're really in a hurry you may want to buy from other sellers.
- eBay has started inserting shipping time text in listings without approval from sellers, making claims about shipping times that just aren't true in the real world. Please be cautious when planning for rush deliveries, if you need it fast, ask your seller first.

Feedback
Headline: Feedback is given after I get yours. My record is perfect and I want to keep it that way, contact me with issues
- Feedback is an important part of the eBay experience. While other sites may have systems that are more effective, this system is what we have and we should use it.
- Please let me know if anything has went awry in our transaction before you leave non positive feedback, please. I will do everything I reasonably can to make you a satisfied customer, given that your expectations take my policies, above, into account.
- Your leaving feedback is your signal that the package has arrived and you are satisfied. I expect the buyer to leave feedback first, and once you do I will promptly do the same.
- You can read my feedback "between the lines" as it were, what I leave out may be areas that weren't quite as perfect as what I mention.
- I will send you a reminder after some time has transpired and you haven't left feedback. If you still choose not to, that's your perogative but I won't leave you any in turn.
- I will not engage in transactions solely to boost feedback so please don't ask.
