In order to process your order efficiently, accurately, and safely, please use the BUY NOW system built into my website. To place an order, simply click the BUY NOW button within each listing. You will be given a choice of payment method at that time, and be presented with all shipping and any transaction fees, before your order is finalized. When you execute your order, you will receive an automatic email receipt. Print this receipt for your records. If you do not receive one, please contact us.

 

Please note: Because our system is designed to be both convenient and fair, it is not possible for us to "place an item on hold" for you - you may do so yourself by using the BUY NOW system.  Many people have missed out on a hot piece because they emailed me and said "I'll take it."  However, this customer-driven system ensures that the site is 100% up to date.

Everything we sell is guaranteed to be 100% authentic. We consider "antique" items to be 100 years old. Vintage-- less than 100 years old but prior to 1980 -- After 1980 we consider items to be "contemporary".

We do our homework, and we have a satisfaction success rate of over 99%.  However, we are not perfect.  Mistakes are usually obvious and straightforward.  In the rare case where a genuine dispute arises over the authenticity of a piece, I will generally defer to the opinion of an internationally recognized expert collector or dealer known and repected for his knowledge and experience, to arbitrate.  I feel this is the fairest way to settle matters.  Even in cases where a questioned item turns out to be 100% genuine, I may at my descretion make arrangements with you to receive an exchange or a refund, less a restocking fee.

Generally, you have 7 days from the time you receive an item to decide if you are happy. If you need more time, please let me know.  If upon receipt of your order, you are not satisfied for any reason whatsoever, you may return it for a full refund less postage and any fees IF you have contacted me within 7 days.  Please alert me upon receipt of an item if there are any concerns.  Please note that I am happy to accept returns on layaway items.  However, unless previous arrangements have been made in writing, and excepting returns conditioned by authenticity issues, there is a 25% restocking fee on layaway returns.

I now offer layaways as an option. Please enter your comments when checking out. I will contact you after I receive your order to verify a custom payment schedule. Thanks!  Please note that layaway returns will be asassessed at 25% restocking fee.
