Payments should be made via paypal. If you absolutely don't want to use paypal I will accept checks but I won't ship till it clears in the bank which usually takes about a week.
I can ship it but the box will not fit ups flat rate boxes and I have not brought it in to ask how much shipping is. I would guess shipping would be maybe $15 but I'm not sure.
Yep, you can place it in a flat rate envelope $4.99 box priority box $8.99. Just take out all of the styrophome wrap it in newspaper and it will ship fine. I've fowarded mine via a flat rate US envelope and it fit just fine. Like they say.. if it fits.. they'll ship! Just wrap it with a few sheets of newspaper or bubble wrap. You can even use popcorn to stuff (non buttered but salt is ok). Wink.
Let me clarify that it will not fit in a usps flat rate box as is. If the item were removed from it's packaging it would certainly fit in a flat rate box. If that's what the winning bidder wants is for it to be removed from the original box and placed in a flat rate box with some packing peanuts or bubble wrap I am willing to do that but then I will include the cost of the packaging materials (peanuts or wrap) into the shipping price and it will delay shipping since as is I would just drop it off at the post office but repackaging would require me to go buy the packing materials and actually package it myself and it may or may not be as good of protection as the original Styrofoam packaging from the manufacturer. Any damages that occur from such repackaging will be the winners responsibility. I do not accept any liability for what happens to the item through shipping and/or repackaging since as it is right now it is brand-new unopened and should be in perfect working condition. As long as the winning bidder accepts all liability for any damages and additional packaging costs I am willing to ship it that way. I would prefer to ship it in it's original packaging as opposed to repacking it as this is much less hassle for me and more likely to get your item to you in the condition it is in as of now. Shipping charges will be calculated after the auction ends and must be paid via paypal. I will only ship to the US and non-contiguous states (such as Hawaii and Alaska) will likely require a higher shipping rate. If there are any other shipping questions or concerns please ask before bidding.
$15 is cheaper than you could a new one for, so I'd be willing to pay for shipping. I wouldn't want to risk its getting damaged if removed from original packaging. I'm watching and waiting. I fanned you when I first checked this out and was disappointed to see it was local pickup only.
I guess I could but I would really prefer not to. I will have to look up more information about postal money orders but it's possible that they will also require a waiting period like checks and other money orders.
