I guarantee your satisfaction or I will refund your money and pay return shipping! Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!
I am a collector myself and I understand the last thing you want to do after purchasing an expensive item is to then have to pay ridiculous shipping rates! That is why 99% of my auctions include FREE shipping to all 50 states. I also do my very best on international shipping, all items are shipped USPS International registered to protect myself and the items you have purchased! Thanks!
