This is an auction for a quite old Carling ashtray.I've had it for MANY years now. Actual age unknown, but old.Is in Very Good condition.A Frosted glass type.Weighs over 330g.Please have a look at my other vintage collectables, and decals in my Ebay shop. There are hundreds from my life's collection. Press button to see my other items in my listings & shop. 000 Due to problems, PITA bidders and other eBay/PayPal losses and loopholes, I am having to add this lot of blurb, to my listings (read it with a grin upon your face) ............. I keep my adverts nice and simple so I don't over complicate them with fancy borders or pretty pretty, shiny, cute bits, and it helps the 40% still using 'dial up' by not swamping their bandwidth and freezing their pages. I'm not trying to sell myself, fancy listing designs, 3 headed camels or posh web pages. Just honest to goodness items and products. If you see a bedroom carpet in the photograph, it's NOT included in the auction. Nor are my pens, £1 coin, my boots, my Postal Scales, my bed, my sheets, my cat, my left foot, my television or anything else that gets into the photo, around the edges. People have tried it on before. It does not work. You get an honest description and what you read about is what you get. Sometimes I have 3 or 4, of the same item, in the photograph. This usually means that I have more than one in stock. Normally, in cases like this, I send out Second Chance Offers. It does NOT mean that you will receive all 4 items. If I say that the auction is for a pair, then that means TWO! No more...... No less. (2, too, to, thoo, tloo, two ....... Comprendé?). No rip offs, no cons, no scams. My feedback speaks for itself. You get good, firm & safe packaging which is accounted for in the P&P price. Any questions/problems, just mail me. It pains me to say this but I'm not perfect , and a mistake might be made. If something is amiss, then CONTACT me! Don't just leave a neutral or a negative. I'll sort something out for you. I go to a lot of effort to ensure that all listings are as accurate as possible, but I am only human. Selling on Ebay takes up a HUGE amount of time, and their Draconian sellers rules are beyond belief. The total fees they charge, can make a grown man cry. If you sell an item for £0.99, eBay & co. get around £0.45 of that. Figure into that, the cost of the items, the costs involved purchasing it, running around trying to find a decent deal on packing supplies, .... well..... you get the picture. They tell you that EVERY item that you sell should be sent recorded delivery, which would add an extra 75p to EVERY item, but then they give you a section on the feedback page to complain about excessive postage costs (good one eBay bureaucrats, but, at least eBay don't get a cut of your postal charges..... only eBay owned PayPal does) ...... and that you should ONLY send to a confirmed address. (That would lose about 75% of my UK customers and all my overseas customers). If the item sells, all well and good, but if it does not, then listing fees still have to be paid. I only sell about 20% of my inventory, so each sale week is a financial gamble. Sadly, the good days have long since gone. Honest sellers, like myself, are becoming a rare breed on eBay. I always obtain a certificate of posting and I pack goods to the best of my ability, sometimes using recycled packaging. My postage cost is NOT just the price of a stamp. It's the cost of packaging, consumables and handling as well. If you don't agree with the TOTAL cost of the item INCLUDING P&P, then just don't bid. Read my lips....... DO NOT BID! The postage AND packing cost is CLEARLY displayed. Do you go to your local store, buy something and have it delivered and then ask them for a refund on delivery costs, even though they charged you 50 quid, but the fuel cost was only 2 quid? No? ......... Didn't think so. I have seen other sellers with negatives on their feedback, just because they charged £0.50p more than the actual cost of the postage stamp. Sheeeesh. Get a life will ya? Packaging costs money. The post office make a profit for the service that they provide. Sellers on eBay are part of that service. Remember that!Please, DON'T argue after the auction has ended. (Like some people have done), about the postage cost. I've not had one person yet, that has offered to compensate me when I've undercharged and made a loss on my postage. Did I complain?........... NO! I knew the risk & so should everyone else. Trust me when I say that.... If eBay could find a way to get their cut from postal charges, they certainly would and the P&P star on the feedback DSR system would vanish in a flash. I always try give a discount for multiple purchases, when asked to and sometimes without being asked (depending on volume of purchases). I am not responsible for any damage to the package in transit to you, nor am I responsible for the P.O.'s failure to deliver your item, but I will help as best possible. I always ensure that a return address is on the package so that it can be returned to me, in case of loss. If you would like an item to be sent by recorded or next day post then please email me for details of extra cost. I would not send any item that I wouldn't be happy to receive. If a 40 year old item sells for £0.49p, don't expect me to spend hours, and 5 quid, cleaning the darned thing. Just do it yourself! (Thanks for the neutral feedback, by the way). If you win an Maisto, NSR 500 model for £4.99, don't expect me to send you a £750,000.00 prototype racing motorbike! Payment within 3 days of auction end please. Non-UK bidders, please contact me, prior to auction end, so I can advise on postage (if not on the listing). I will post out all items after receiving cleared funds. If you pay by PayPal Echeque, expect a 14 day wait. I will NOT post out items that have not been paid for. PayPal have caught me out too many times now. (They tell you that payment has 'cleared' then cancel the payment two days later. I have lost WAY too much money this way). I do not post out on Saturdays or Sundays (Especially when the Post Office is shut, so PLEASE..... no more Emails on a Monday morning asking where your item is that you purchased on a Saturday afternoon). . My usual posting days are Wednesdays & Fridays. I will try post out earlier, if requested. If you do not agree with any of this, then please do not bid. (I need a cup of coffee now...... or stiff drink). Thank you for looking/reading/yawning. purplehelmet Store Powered by eBay Turbo Lister
