We set-up with part of our inventory at many local and regional shows, as-well-as at two consignment shops here in CT, so negotiation is just another part of the business. We welcome offers here, but the process is a bit slow. You need to send me an email through the 'Contact" link above. I will try and respond as soon as I can.
If you receive a positive response from us, we are in negotiation. If you need time to think about an offer, ask and we will put an 'Out of Stock' banner on the items, or (In Negociations) in the text, so it cannot sell away from you.
Please use the 'Cart' to check out, it will save typing on multiple item purchases. I bill for shipping after payment, as the site doesn’t configure it automatically. You can pay for shipping from a ‘phantom’ product I will add to my listings here for you, or I accept Paypal Friends and Family ONLY, it you want to use credit cards outside this site. You may send a check as well, drawn on US banks, but item(s) may not ship until check has cleared. Please do NOT use Money Orders or Bank Checks.
We understand that times get tough, but your desire to add to your collection never wanes. We offer time payments on purchases above $100. Usually, either we negotiate a better price, OR you can put it on a payment plan.
For transactions below $200, we require $50 down and must receive a payment of $25, every 2 weeks until the item(s) are paid off. If you want to use a credit card for payments(Paypal also), you must add a 3% fee on every payment. We credit only what we receive.
For transaction above $200, we can set up a mutually agreeable plan for you. If you neglect to make a payment and do not contact us, we consider your account in default and you forfeit any money paid down.
Let us be of service to you
