Sales:
Most sales are final due to the type of products being sold- new, but no longer manufactured.
This is to prevent returns of items being used, deliberately/accidentally damaged,
or swapped out with a replica.
Bulk sales (high quantity) may not be processed; and, transactions may be limited
per customer/address/ business.
This is to prevent fraud risk and minimize flipper acquisitions.
No telephone orders are being accepted at this time.
In-person sales will be conducted thru PayPal's Zettle card reader, virtual terminal,
or via an online paylink.
International customers prior to any purchase should contact their card issuing bank to inform
them of their online activity & determine what interbank conversion fees may be assessed.
'Item on Hold/Pending sale' image is displayed- sale is not final, working with customer concerning
special request (shipping or further research).
The calendar date the hold was first placed will be added to the 'Pending Sale' image
to ensure the case is resolved in a timely manner.
Special promotions- see last paragraph 'Privacy Policy.'
Disputes- handled directly between buyer & seller.
If this for some reason does not produce satisfactory results, the buyer has the option
to contact their issuing card bank to file a formal claim.
Usually 60 days for a billing error,120 days involving the quality of goods or services.
GoDaddy only mediates website content (illegal or offensive); not commerce transactions.
Video/audio cassette media- the possibility exists that there is quality degradation
due to the format's durability to maintain content for an extended period of time.
If the item is sealed a request to test the tape might be allowed after completing the purchase
but before shipping out the product.
If the playback is deemed unsatisfactory, a full refund will be issued &
the item will no longer be available for sale.

I have used Pirate Ship.
'Download rates pdf' link is under title USPS Commercial Pricing shipping rates.
Note: their Simple Rate basic economy tier involves packages being sent to an independent
shipping center where the package is re-labeled then forwarded to the destination address.
Only choose this option for lower priced items.
USPS Media Mail is for Usa territories only.
Service cost is not location but weight-based.
Option may not be offered to customer during checkout, so a flat fee is charged upfront.
If you wish to select a different method please contact me.
Customers that complete a purchase but do not qualify for the Media Mail service
will be contacted- offered different ship options or a full refund for the cancelled order.
USPS nonstandard fees apply to packages that exceed 22" in length
(e.g. posters & banners sent in a tube box).
These surcharges went into effect April 2022.
Packaging materials may include recyclable products (e.g. egg shell cartons) when appropriate.
Taxes:
Maryland residents are always charged sales tax due to the business and
it's inventory solely located in this state.
(Excludes foreign diplomats that possess a tax exemption card.
Their tax-exempt number will be recorded onto the sales slip).
There are no taxes charged on shipping costs because that is billed separately
from the item on the final invoice.
Per economic nexus: based on the number of transactions (usually 200) or monetary value
(@ $100.000) no sales taxes may be charged until either threshold is reached during a rolling
12-month calendar period (365 days from the date of the 1st sale) in each individual state.
Vendors that use marketplace facilitators (e.g. eBay, Etsy, Facebook Market Place, Amazon f/b/a)
are required to collect sales tax on every transaction because these large platforms
they are using have a presence in every state.
International sales: this business is registered to collect USA taxes only.
Buyer is responsible for their own country's import laws, customs duty, taxes (VAT),
or other documentation required by their government.
Items will not be marked as 'gift' to circumvent the legal tax collection process.
Any preference or suggestions regarding your shipping options, taxes,
or pre-sales please contact.
