Pictures are part of the description; examine closely and ask questions before bidding.
NOTE: I use a flat S&H fee; so plan on it when placing your bid. That is easiest for both you and I. It is also the most fair way for all bidders; the final total price is the same no matter where you live. Bidders who live close to me do not have an unfair advantage over those on the West Coast. The auction will determine the true value of this item when the flat fee is known to all bidders. I try to estimate cost to ship to the West Coast closely, and add a little pad after having undercharged on several occasions. However, the flat fee applies ONLY to shipment within the lower 48 continental US; S&H may be higher outside the lower 48, so if you win this auction and live outside the lower 48 states, wait for an invoice from me before making payment.Seller reserves the right to change shipping method from that shown in listing details.I also accept check or MO.NO international sales (except thru eBay global shipping center).Seller reserves right to use an appropriate shipping service that may be different from what is stated in listing.Also, note that feebay may now be charging buyers for sales tax in your shipping address state, if applicable.
