Terms of sale

Terms of sale updated June 1, 2009

PLEASE make sure that your e-mail provider is not rejecting my emails as spam. I do respond to all requests within 48 hours, so if you don't hear from me before then, it may be that my address was deleted as spam. PLEASE add my address to your whitelist before emailing me. Thank you!

Requesting an item implies that you have read and accepted the below terms, so please read them carefully. Thanks! ^_^

If you are interested in my karaoke CD lot, please read that page for contact information and additional terms.

1. Buying. Please read the information at the top of each page for some general information on the items in that category. If you're interested in anything, email your list -- my email address is listed below. For CDs, please include both the CD name and the catalog number. Also include your name and address so I can calculate shipping. Items are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Sets will NOT be separated, so please do not ask.
Once I email you, you will have 48 hours to respond, and I will then place your items on hold. If I do not hear from you within that time, I will assume you are no longer interested and return your items to the general sale list.
Items will be held for only TWO WEEKS. If I do not receive payment WITHIN THAT TIME, your items will be returned to the general sale list.

2. International buyers. I do accept requests from international buyers. I prefer payment via Paypal, but an international money order (in U.S. funds) or cash in U.S. dollars (at your own risk) is also accepted.

3. References. I have conducted a fair amount of 'Net business in the past, but those references are now rather old, as they consisted mostly of a certain collectible card game that I no longer play. I do have a good feedback rating on eBay under the user id "schala."

4. Shipping information. - UPDATED 6/1/09

Listed prices do NOT include shipping.
Because of cost issues, first-class mail is NO LONGER AVAILABLE, EXCEPT if you are purchasing a small item such 1 CD or CD single. Shipping will be $3 is that case.
Anything else will be sent via priority mail; shipping is $5.75 for up to 1 pound, which is about 2 regular-sized Japanese manga or 2 CDs. Anything heavier than that will have to be calculated.
I will consolidate shipping charges if you buy more than one item.
Delivery confirmation within the U.S. is MANDATORY no matter which shipping method is used.
What is included in your shipping price:
- Postage due (of course)
- Cost of packaging (padded envelopes, boxes, etc.)
- Transportation costs
- Delivery confirmation within the U.S.
Please note that the price I quote you is the actual cost of sending items. I do NOT try to make a profit off of shipping by tacking on an extra percentage to the cost.
Insurance will be given only upon request, and only for orders totaling more than $50. If you buy a lot, I'll include insurance for free. Of course, what constitutes "a lot" is up to me. ^_~ The last time I included free insurance, the person bought over $300 worth of items.
International buyers: Items will be sent by regular airmail (First-Class Mail International). Depending on the weight, your items may need to be sent via Priority Mail International. Costs depend on your country and the total weight of the items; please let me know what country you're in so I may calculate shipping costs.
Actual mailing of items. I normally have only 1 or 2 days a week available for shipping items. That day will usually be a Tuesday or Wednesday, so you can estimate when your items will be going out in case I don't have a chance to e-mail you. I will send your items earlier if I can.

5. Payment.

Preferred payment is via Paypal.
Cash by regular mail is accepted but discouraged; send cash by certified mail with return receipt requested. SEND CASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR CASH LOST THROUGH THE MAIL.

6. I am NOT accepting trades.

7. Please, request items ONLY if you're going to follow through with the deal! This is not my full-time job, and I am not a commercial retailer; these items are all from my private collection, and so I don't have much time for this venture. Thank you for your cooperation!

After you have read my terms, feel free to email your list at the address below. If you are interested in my karaoke CD lot, please read that page for contact information and additional terms. My email address has not been hyperlinked in order to fight spam; just type in the address carefully, with no spaces between characters. Thanks!
