NEW! LIFELIKE HO (1:87) WESTERN HOMESTEAD KIT

ABOUT THESE MODELS:

I cannot guarantee that models on sale here are original, as delivered by the manufacturer (unless they are in still sealed original packaging). There simply are far too many models, with far too many variations, to compare them all with various catalogues, just to make sure that nobody has exchanged any parts.

I will always make a point of mentioning where I know (or suspect) anything to be non-standard or damaged, but I don't go over every part of a model with a loupe, just to see if I can detect any flaws. My feedback will confirm that I try to be as honest as I can in my item descriptions, and if you want reassurance about anything in particular, please ask in advance, and I will try to answer every query as quickly as possible.

It should be pointed out that most of the models offered are collectors' items, not toys. That means that they are often very fragile, and not suitable for small children or "playing".

I can guarantee that all models are as photographed, because I photograph them myself, never using anyone else's pictures (unless specifically indicated on the photo). Please be aware that very small items, such as mirrors, can easily fall off (or even break off) in transit - there is no way of guaranteeing that this won't happen, no matter how carefully the items are packed. So, please unpack very carefully and, if necessary, re-attach any parts that have come off (a model cannot be considered damaged merely because any of those fine detail parts came off in transit; if you find this condition unacceptable, please don't bid).

Some manufacturers actually bolt models together, rather than using glue. This allows for parts to be interchanged (for instance, different trays or containers to be used on a truck chassis), and for some parts to be added or removed, so that models can be individualized. So, don't panic if (for instance) a truck arrives with a tray just sitting loosely on top of the chassis - it is most likely meant to be that way (and if it really worries you, because things keep falling off, you can always glue them together yourself).

SHIPPING & PAYMENT OPTIONS:

NO personal checks at all from overseas (they cannot be cashed here), and NO money orders from overseas.

PLEASE NOTE that insurance is not available to a very few countries (including Germany, Norway, Israel, Canada, some South American countries, and others). Shipments to these countries will attract shipping charges that are higher than those indicated, because articles will have to be sent via ECI Merchandise; please do not bid on this article if you are not prepared to accept those terms! Unfortunately, there is no way to set up eBay's postage calculator to differentiate between countries where insurance is offered and those to where it isn't available. If you suspect that your country may also have limitations on postal insurance, you can check it out on the Australia Post website, or ask us before bidding.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

I believe in "give and take", but very occasionally I get people who try to be difficult. For them, the following rules are clearly stated in advance:

This is standard for everything I sell. Everything is strictly "as is", but as described. Feel free to e-mail me in advance if I can tell you anything else about it.

Buyer pays in advance, including shipping, packaging, and insurance (I cannot be held responsible for uninsured items).

Please note that all items are located in Australia.

Payments must include the shipping, or the item will not be shipped until the additional funds have been received. Anything else is subject to negotiation. I reserve the right not to deal with anyone with excessive negative feedback.

Any deal not concluded within a month may be considered void.
