TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. Guarantee: Any item found having uncatalogued damage, may be returned for a refund, less shipping costs, within 20 days of auction closing date. Any item with the term “near mint”, indicating that minor flaws do exist, do not qualify for a refund. After 20 days, no refund will be given for any reason. Also, any manufacturer’s flaw that, in our opinion, does not significantly detract monetarily from the value of the item being sold will not be considered for refund.
