Important advice:
Please observe, that many bids are only placed on very short notice to the end of auction - often just a few seconds before termination
In order for you not to be autbidded in the closing seconds of the auction we would advice you to be online,observing or to set a correspondingly higher limit

With us your DON'T PAY ebay-Fees!

Foreign bidders are very welcome, if you are able to communicate in German or English

• In the interest of a smooth transaction the eMail address you stored with  ebay  has to be working and your postal address should agree with the delivery address.
• WE will contact the winnig bidder within three working days beginning with the end of auction. Please do NOT send a "where do I have to transfer the money to" mail on the same day. 
• In case the winning bidder does not hear from us within three days, there must be a problem with his/her mailbox. Please make sure it is not overloaded and have a look in your Spam file. Only if it still doesn't work click here to send us an eMail with your telefone number.
• The total costs for shipping will be calculated by our system automatically.
• After having read the Dispatch conditions on this page (further down) you can spare yourself the  "What-does-shipping-cost-eMails"
• Additionally we DON'T need any "I-have-payed-eMails".  As soon as the money arrives, the item will automatically reach you within the normal running time of a parcel.
• Because of automated processes "I-will-pay-later-eMails" cannot be answered. However 20 days should suffice for everybody, before we request a refund of the provision from eBay.
• The time we save, not having to answer any unnecesssary eMails, can be reasonably invested into a faster and more effective processing, wich would help everybody
• Therefore all "I-can-find-this-somewhere-else-cheaper-eMails" will be deleted without comment.

Dispatch conditions, as of 31.05.2005

Shipping costs Germany

We exclusively ship by insured parcel. For the shipping of parcels within Germany we charge the "shipping flat rate" quoted  in the auction. Payments have to be made in advance via money transfer.

Shipping costs can be found at the bottom of the item page in the space provided for by  ebay.

In the case you purchase more than one item from different auctions or several fixed-price items the additional flat rate for any further item is 2,- Euro, provided that shipping can be managed in one collective parcel.

(The decision what fits in one parcel or not has to be up to us. For the people who think you could fit a whole car in one parcel: IT DOESN'T !)

Should somehow the "shipping flat rate" not be quoted in the auction please inform yourself   PRIOR   to bidding. Just send us an eMail including the item-number and ask for the corresponding shipping conditions. - Once a bid has been placed and the auction is finalised shipping costs are NOT a subject to bargaining!

Because in the past many of our customers did not approve of our shipping-costs, although they had been quoted in the auction and therefore been accepted with the placement of a bid, we offer you this information:
In 95 % of all cases we have to use new cartonage for shipping. Our purchase costs are varying between 0,60 and 8,00 € plus filling material and tape. In the resulting 5% the size of the items enables us to recycle cartons used for "banana and cucumber shipping". We reserve this right for reasons of  environmental protection. In addition, our employees (those who do the packing) would like to get their pay check on the 1st of every month.  Should anybody not be comfortable with this procedure, we would ask you not to bid on our items.

Items that have been described as "pickup only" or "reiner Abholartikel" HAVE to be collected within 8 days.
Should this not be possible we would ask you to pay in advance using money transfer.

Naturally it is possible to "pick up" items bought from us, however Collection is only possible with a confirmed appointment within 8 days of the end of auction

Please don't forget to state an exact time together with your target date.
Statements such as a.m or p.m as well as tomorrow or  next week do not count as time or date consistently. Therefore they will not be accepted

ATTENTION: Please bring the confirmation of your appointment, including the item number!

We do not have OPENING HOURS. Don't be dissappointed if you arrive without appointment and we are closed!

Possible times for pickup with confirmed appointment are:
Mo-Fr: 08:00-12:00 and 12:30-18:00 o'clock
Sa: 10:00-12:00 and 12:30-16:00 o'clock

Should we somehow not manage to confirm your appointment in time for pickup, you can reach us by telefone during the above stated hours. 
+49 (0) 900 / 16 42 57 2
0,99€/Min from German conventional network as well as D1

We store "pick up" items that have allready been cleared for a maximum of 100 days. Thereafter storage is going to be charged with 1% of the item value per day. In addition the item will be re-placed with ebay and sold. This also applies to parcels that can't be delivered because you gave us the wrong address or similar reasons

In this case we do NOT refund.

Should anybody not  want his item delivered  by parcel service and insist on shipping by post we will have to charge  an additional 5,- Euro in extra handling.
To your information: shipping through post is limited to a maximum of 20 kilos.

The adequate parcel service will be selected by us based on our experiences.

Pricipally we only deliver through our own parcel services or dispatcher and offer you a personal pick up.

Due to technical difficulties Pick-up of your item through your own parcel service is NOT possible.

Should the customer not be met by the parcel service or the dispatcher, we will be forced to subsequently claim any additional costs this causes us from the customer. This will amount to at least 30.- Euros, that, should it become necessary, we will claim through our lawyer.

Shipping costs Oversea 

Principally we offer Oversea shipping. However shipping as well as international money transfer costs are more expensive. As an alternaitve to international transfers, at present we can only offer you to ship the money per mail ( i.e. certified mail or similar). (It is much cheaper and in most cases also faster)

Due to the high fees we do not accept payment through Paypal or Credit card.

Costs for Oversea shipping are based on weight and vary from case to case. Therefore we can not offer a fixed rate shipping. 

As a general rule you can assess shipping costs for Europe with double the price of national shipping.

Because of Custom regulations shipping into Switzerland has to be charged with an additional 5,- Euro.

Minimum cost for oversea shipping is 20,- Euro (Austria 15,- Euro / Switzerland 25,- Euro)

Please inform yourself  about our shipping conditions   PRIOR   to bidding. Just send us an eMail including the item-number and ask for the corresponding shipping conditions. - Once a bid has been placed shipping costs are NOT a subject to bargaining!

Payment and Shipping

We only ship with advance payment and offer you a personal pick up with confirmed appointment.

Because an increasing number of people has developed a habit of not accepting "cash on delivery" parcels. We will NOT offer this method of payment any longer

Furthermore impossible are the following:

• foreign currencies
• trade-in
• purchase on bill
• credit
• credit card 
• Paypal
• installment
• check
• trade-off
• partial payment
• trust service
• postponement of payment
• Any other crazy ideas we forgot to mention here

To be precise: NO item whatsoever will leave our storage before having been fully paid for!

Should the amounting sum exeed the current market value of the item, the latter becomes the property of the seller.
• Concerning used parts which are offered as fully functual this is related to the sole item.
