What is your return Policy?

Answer:  If you are not satisfied with something purchased from us, simply contact us by email within 5 days of your receipt of the item. We will provide a return authorization by return email. In order to receive a refund, the merchandise must be returned in the same condition as sent, postage prepaid and insured, within ten days of the issuance of the return notification, unless other arrangements are made. Refunds will be made by check, upon verification of cleared funds, if your payment was made by check. If payment is made by credit card, your card will be credited. Refunds will be less the shipping, handling and insurance charges.

All items are described to the best of our ability. Errors in description, attribution and estimates of wear or use may occur.

Upon conclusion of the five day examination period all sales become final.

Do you purchase items from collectors?

Answer: Yes, we are always looking to acquire quality artifacts for resale (and for our private collections too!). Simply provide us with pictures and descriptions.

How do you ship?

Answer: We generally ship by US Postal Service Priority Mail. Each package is sent insured, and must be signed for by the recipient or their authorized representative. We will ship via UPS or any other carrier, but unless otherwise instructed by the Buyer, shipping method will be at the Seller's discretion. All shipping expenses, packing charges and insurance are borne by the Buyer, unless other prior arrangements are mutually agreed upon. Payment for shipping, handling and insurance expenses will be paid in advance. We do not ship COD.

For large items, fragile pieces, or items of significant value, we will make arrangements to hand deliver the items to you. Pricing for this service will be mutually agreed upon prior to delivery.

If the Buyer waives insurance coverage, the Buyer agrees to bear the sole risk of loss or damage. When we ship, we insure the contents of the package against loss or damage. If a package is received damaged, the Buyer agrees to retain the shipping box, all of the packing contents and the damaged item for postal inspection. The Buyer will be responsible for filing all insurance claims, and will be assisted to the extent possible by the Seller.

Will you hold items until payment arrangements are made?

Answer: Yes, we are most flexible regarding making payment arrangements, and holding items pending delivery arrangements. You may notice the word HOLD on a number of pieces listed in this site.

Do you ship Internationally?

Answer: Yes. We have been most fortunate to have customers from Europe and Asia visit our site and make purchases. All payment are in US Dollars. We will complete the necessary customs paperwork. The recipient is responsible for all duties, tariffs and associated taxes. All International shipments are done at the Buyer's risk. We regret this action, but Insurance is not available to many destinations.
