PLEASE, WE WANT YOU TO BID BUT DO NOT TRY TO NEGOTIATE DIFFERENT TERMS AFTER THE SALE.
- Shipping is determined by your location. We are not the fastest shippers. We do not always ship immediately after purchase since we are very rural. We ship twice a week. Simply, all of our items are different, all of our packaging & shipping destinations are different thereby requiring custom made boxes, etc. Because of this we don't pack an item until after the sale since we get questions all the time that require us to see the item. We ship items within 7 days from the time we receive cleared funds. Most of the time sooner. Our goal is to get the item to you within 2 weeks but mostly much sooner. Buyer is always responsible for all shipping expense. Please remember when grading us on shipping that we must design each package to suit the destination and this takes a little longer! We do not make money on shipping. We buy & use professional packing materials though and have found that our customers appreciate a good packing job. You won't get a loose, stinky, newspaper wrapped package with us! We generally charge about $3-$5 handling fees. Insurance is required on all items paid by Paypal / Credit Card. However, if you pay by check or money order then insurance is optional and we will ship anyway you like and anywhere you'd like.
- Feedback is important for us. We will leave you good feedback once you have left us feedback. We respectfully ask that you leave us 5 stars or nothing at all. The way eBay's fee system is now, we can keep our prices down by receiving a 5 star rating. Please help us keep prices down for everyone. If we can improve our service, let me know!
- Condition is hard to describe with estate items, antiques and used items. Our 'excellent' may not be the same as your 'excellent' although we are quite critical. All our items are used. Argent-De-Massif sells for consignors as well as liquidating estates. The majority of items are direct from estates to you. We don't clean items
- Suitability & Legal - PLEASE EMAIL EXPECTATIONS and QUESTIONS before bidding. A dealer that resells often has different criteria than a casual collector. Please ask appropriate questions.
- Payment Terms of Sale are described herein and are absolute. Full payment expected within 3 days. No refunds are allowed unless stated elsewhere. We accept the following payment methods in the order preferred:
- Money Order
- Check
- Pay Pal - We reserve the right to require a verified & confirmed buyer
- Credit Card (Through Pay Pal)
- Bank Wire Transfer

- Second Chance Offers - If you get a 2nd chance offer from us, it is likely a fraud email or spoof. However, on occasion, we do make second chance offers so please email me using ebay's email system only and I will confirm the validity of such an offer. For safety do not click on any links in your emails. Remember, use ebay's email system for safety and check your MY EBAY page. Valid offers are always there.

If you pay by a method OTHER THAN Paypal then we can use Priority or Parcel Post. As an international customer, here are your payment options:
*** SUMMARY & KEY-POINTS TO REMEMBER FOR ALL OUR CUSTOMERS ***
