Place a bid
Please read the following text before bidding or before writing to me to ask a question. Just about every possible question that you might have has already been answered in the text of this listing. Also, due to numerous problems with recent bidders, non-US winners will be required to purchase additional postage for registration, which will be $15.00. American winners will be required to purchase USPS Postal Insurance (at cost) for $2.15. This carries a tracking feature. Also, auctions that end on a single day will be combined, auctions on different days will not be.
This auction is for a lot of FIFTY various financial items: includes TEN various stock certificates; TWENTY-FIVE bond coupons, mainly from various New York Railroad Companies, but also may include German, French and Belgian bond coupons; and FIFTEEN various other financial items which may include old US checks, promissory notes, documents, foreign lottery tickets, paper money/ banknotes, play money, documents, ephemera, etc.
You will receive the items shown in the scan, of course most items cannot be shown. Lots of duplicates, especially the stock certificates and bond coupons, take this into consideration when bidding.
Condition: These are items that I have sorted as I clean up the office. Quality ranges from great condition to very worn, sometimes damaged condition. Many items such as the stock certificates and checks have been cancelled. I have sold many such lots and so far everyone has been satisfied with what they have received.
Great items for the collector to cherry-pick what they want, or for a dealer to sell individually or as a group.
Please read the entire description of this auction before bidding or before writing to me to ask a question that has already been answered in the text of this listing.
Guidelines:
1) Unless otherwise specified in the auction listing, S/H in US for most of what I sell: small items like postal items, banknotes, stock and bond certificates, and collectible checks will be $3.00 for the first item, $1.00 for EACH additional item or lot sent at the same time. You will also be charged an additional $2.15 for USPS Postal Insurance (at cost).
2) S/H prices to non-US addresses: $5.00 for the first item, $1.00 for EACH additional lot or item sent at the same time. All non-US winners will be required to purchase additional postage for registration, which will be $15.00.
3) Due to numerous foreign bidders whose payment gets lost in the mail, I now require all non-US bidders to pay via PayPal. If you are unable to use PayPal, please do not bid.
4) US bidders may pay with PayPal or checks (in US dollars, drawn on US banks). If you use PayPal, please figure out how to use it yourself. I end up spending far too much time having to walk bidders through the payment process.
5) All sales are final (unless I have made a mistake in description) and s/h prices will not be reduced, so please do not ask.
6) On some lots that I sell, I have multiples of the item, so the one that you are bidding on one may not be the exact one shown in the scan. If this is the case, generally the only difference will be the serial number if it is a banknote; if the item is a stock or bond certificate, then the filled-in parts like the owner's name, date of issue or purchase, serial number and perhaps number of shares will be different. I try to make it clear in the item description what information will be on the certificate if it is relevant. Condition on stock and bond certificates will be average for the issue, unless otherwise stated in the description. Please note that on most stock and some bond certificates, there are almost always cancellation holes or ink stamp marks, as well as staple holes (when certificates are sold at a broker, the sell order form is stapled to the certificate) or folds. Any stock or bond certificates I sell that have been issued will be cancelled, unless otherwise stated. I have many other interesting items listed on eBay, so please look at my other auctions.
7) I do not have a store, so local bidders cannot come by and pick up wins.
8) I understand that problems arise from time to time that may delay your payment, but please try to pay for your items within ten days of receiving my invoice.
9) I will contact you within a few days of the end of the auction, you do not need to contact me prior to that. If you do not hear from me after a reasonable amount of time, then please try to contact me. In most cases, if you do not hear from me, this does not mean that I am ignoring you, but there may be some problem sending and/ or receiving messages between the two of us. Please note, some Internet service provider's anti-spam filters catch my messages to certain buyers. If you do not receive message from me, please check to see that my messages are not being blocked or caught by your or your ISP's spam blocker.
10) PLEASE DO NOT WRITE TO TELL MY THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE MY S/H CHARGES. I TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE IN THE AUCTION DESCRIPTION. IF YOU DON’T LIKE HOW MUCH I CHARGE, DON’T BID. THANKS.
11) For the one percent of problem winners: Payment must be received within ten days of my invoice to you. If it is not, I reserve the right to re-list the item without further notice. Also, if you send partial payment and do not send the remainder after I contact you, you will lose both your item and the partial payment. I just cannot spend all my time trying to contact you because you cannot follow a few simple directions. I will also leave negative feedback for those who warrant it.
16) My preferred method of payment is via PAYPAL. Otherwise, you can send a US dollar denominated check on a US bank or money order to me:
Anthony Mills PO Box 5928 Aloha, OR 97006-0928 USA
IF YOU SEND PAYMENT VIA REGISTERED MAIL, SEND TO: Anthony Mills PO Box 5928 Aloha, OR 97007 USA
I generally send items out in the order that I receive payments. I try to get items sent out quickly, but it may take a week for your item to be sent to you. Please be patient.
Packages are sent regular mail or book rate (if applicable).
When you communicate with me, PLEASE always include your name, address, and the eBay lot number. (Not everyone does this).
If you send an incorrect, incomplete or poorly written address to me and the package that I send to you is returned, you will need to pay the full amount of quoted s/h again, so please make sure that I can read your writing and that you address is correct. |
