TOS.
- The listed price is the only price I offer, unless the listing expressly invites offers. Price is market-based, fair and firm.
- Where the item is listed as a Special Offer there is no further scope for any price cuts. Special Offer prices are subject to change to its full market value without notice.
- Where the item is antique or vintage, the item cannot be expected to be in a new condition. Mint Condition implies that the item is brand new and has never been used, which is rarely the case with historical items. Normal wear and tear, imperfections and crazing as consistent with age should be expected and are a marker of a genuine antique/vintage item. These imperfections do not affect the value of quality items and, in fact, in many cases add to the to its historical character for seasoned collectors. Near Mint Condition or Excellent Condition or rare antiques are typically offered for a higher price. The size of a piece bears no relation to its value.
- The purchase is to be completed within 7 days. I reserve the right to cancel orders from buyers who have not completed their transaction during that period and relist the item for sale.
- For your and my protection, all communication is to take place in writing via Bobshop messenger.
